its a work coach and includes talking about options that will help prepare me for work in the future

suffer with depression for along time and am seeing a psychiatrist and seeing a psycologist

on a lot of medications for depression, angina (previous heart attacks) diabetes and asthma and am very overweight

its probably foolish not to contact them, but i so want to avoid this how should i handle this and i suppose i am going to be sanctioned do you maybe know how much and for how long i will be sanctioned or should i just b ite the bullet and call them

i have been feeling very hopless and thoughts of suicide in the last week or so but this is not abnormal feelings and thoughts for me

i do want to get well but i am afraid of how these people are going to affect my mental health

if you can help me or ease my mind please respond

thanks

You need to contact them, leaving it will almost certainly make the situation worse.

Whether you are sanctioned will depend on whether the activity was mandatory of not, the letter you received about it should make it clear. If you are sanctioned then it will remain in place until attend the next appointment.
