hi i know a lot of people have a real issue with the work thing there has been some sound advise here the best i've read ,my position is that it has been so long since i worked -15 years now i feel there would be zero chance of getting a job and because of the recurring nature of my illness i'd find it difficult to hold one down,it doesn't stop me torturing myself that i should be working though it may be a good idea to apply the idea of what would you say to someone else in your situation ,when i do it i never get a clear answer as i get so confused about it ! i wish you good luck, as you say what is the worst that can happen?
