Emotionally unstable personality disorder

Hi
I still haven't heard anything about a f2f for pip, the wait is making my mental health so much worse!
I've been reading through a lot of the posts on here and I am noticing a lot of people being turned down for mobility because they don't have a cognitive issue when going out even though they are suffering extreme anxiety.
The only place I go is to my Dr and my partner has to come with me in a taxi.
I become incredibly disorientated when I need to go out, I can't think properly, get incredibly dizzy and struggle to breathe, (my partner has to hold onto my arm because I have tried to run into traffic before to try to die)! That is going from my front door straight into the taxi and it continues for the rest of the day, it normally takes a day or 2 to calm down enough, but it also starts a few days before I know I need to go to see my Dr, is that classed as cognitive? I wouldn't be in any fit state to even thank the driver let alone pay him.
I have to take lorazepam before going, I wouldn't be able to leave my home at all without taking the lorazepam. I feel like my medication isn't doing what it's supposed to do, surely I wouldn't still be like this with taking antidepressants and antipsychotics?!
I have extreme panic attacks even when I don't have to leave the house! My curtains are kept closed all the time because I get incredibly distressed if I can see outside, my family cannot turn up when they want, I see my mum or sister hardly ever.
I am working myself into a right state waiting to hear back from pip for a f2f!! I just keep wishing that I'd get lucky and won't need the f2f same as my esa claim but my luck is really bad!
So sorry for going on, I just am not coping with all this and waiting and not knowing if my mental health problems cause me enough issues to match what pip require!!
