hi Nathan - it's great you're planning your studies and working towards that. Things will get better, and you're doing everything you can so try to be nice to yourself and appreciate yourself.
Hopefully the people doing the assessment will recognise you need support - I was suprised one time because my doctor signed me off for 6 months, but I had to go for an assessment with the benefits doctor. I thought he'd be really difficult, but he was really easy to talk to and ended up extending the 6 months to 18 months so I had time to pick myself up without the pressure of another assessment. So some of them are OK...
Good luck!
