PIP and Introversion?
PIP and Introversion?
I is back init! Well, that’s
not a true for many a reason. Yes, I am back – writing a blog – for some reason.
A reason. As per the title mention
of that bastard PIP ‘benefit’ and the negative affects it has had and is having
on me. I’m writing now in a fairly negative mood; which is something I do not
like being in.
Let’s go back some weeks
ago. I returned home from a course of sorts – Living with a Long
Term Health Condition, CBT
type – to be welcomed to a brown envelope. I knew that was it, having spent 6
years living with post anxiety.
So, what that meant was for
me to apply for the benefit, I had to phone and thereafter start to amass support
evidence of and about me and my condition with its effects on me.
Being pretty clued-up with
and about these shenanigans through my MS
community involvement (locally, nationally, social media etc), I thought I was
prepared.
Oh, my word. I did not
realise just how much stress and anxiety that would follow in the initial following
7-10 days. Exactly what MS does NOT like.
I have since been for the ‘assessment’
and that was bloody hard work if I’m honest; now awaiting further ‘result’.
So, that’s my current state
of play with PIP. I can not just ‘switch off’. Always on the mind somewhere.
Introversion?
Nothing to celebrate about PIP. Only the polar opposite. This has me looking at
time spent at home with little desire to change that. Seems that I am now more
of an introvert!
Hey, maybe I’m just having a
funny one.
