Have you contacted the Assessment Provider to see what information would allow them to do a Paper Based Review?

So the important thing for you to keep in mind is that things are moving forward, you are getting the letter tomorrow so that's one thing that you have managed.
You realised you needed support and you contacted the crisis team, keep in touch with them if you need to.
Lastly, don't lose track of how important your benefits are to you. I know that all you can see at the moment is the stress they are causing you but once you get past the hurdle of the assessment things will be a lot easier for you.
