Yes, I spoke to headway recently, I called them and the lady I spoke to just let me talk and talk for an hour, such a simple thing but I was so grateful for her time.
They said they'd send me some info by email but I haven't heard from them.


One of the things I wanted some advice about was in relation to working. Prior to the accident I was working in a managerial position which I did sort of try to return to, but I also knew I wouldn't be able to handle it. I tried my best but I was in way over my head, it was horrible, I felt so overwhelmed.

Having not worked for over 7 months, my financial situation is not great. I applied for job seekers allowance as I was not signed off work at the time, but i have now been signed off and am on Employment Support Allowance.
However, I was required to apply for jobs before and I've been offered an interview. I only applied for really low level stuff as I knew I couldn't handle what I'm qualified to do, but I have lost all confidence in my abilities, I'm really unsure of what I can and can't do now.

I feel like working, if I can do it, would help me get better as I'd be occupied so I'd feel happier, gain confidence, use my brain again (good idea or bad idea? Should I be 'exercising' my brain or letting it rest? How long do I rest it for?!) and have less financial pressure on me.
But, I'm scared I won't make it through the interview, or, even worse, I'm scared i might be offered the job!
The job is administrator in the disability section of a university.

Are you guys all working? If so, how well are you managing?
