The first time I got hold of the forms I got half way through, hit the point where I had to talk about my worst days, gave up and tried to kill myself instead. No one's fault, just having to focus on how bad things was too much for me at that time. Second time, a close friend took me to the CAB who helped us fill it in. The lovely woman who helped said it was good I had gone to them because it meant they already has all the info when it inevitably came to appealing. Even with all that support the whole process was so stressful I ended up too sick to leave the house for weeks afterwards. I was turned down and couldn't face the appeal process.

The emotional strain contributed to a worsening of my physical illness. I can quite understand why those who have mental illnesses are significantly in danger of committing suicide when they receive a wrong judgement from the DWP."<br /><br />A few years ago, half my immediate family committed suicide, leaving my mother and I alone. I have PTSD. I also suffer from Bipolar with substantial depression.<br /><br />When I applied for DLA, it took months to fill out the form, but I finally managed to write it all into sentences, to describe how the nights are in the house where I found their bodies. I confessed to the most shameful dangerous thoughts. There are things worse than suicide. I'm not sure you can imagine, and I wouldn't want you to.<br /><br />The DWP (eventually) wrote me back and, amongst other denials, told me I "am not a danger to myself or others"<br /><br />I was so distraught. In a part of my darkness I wondered if I was even real. There are things which are unacceptable: I've since decided that pretending human responses don't exist is one. <br /><br />It's taken a long time to get back to the right frame of mind, which is to accept my emotions, without accepting the inevitability of acting on them. And that's important for more than my sake.<br /><br />Whoever sent that first reply probably sleeps like a baby at night. They're lucky.Piphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11711687072495677795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4568034298343558962.post-7641067158654928602013-04-16T20:32:21.902+01:002013-04-16T20:32:21.902+01:00This was like reading my own story without the pos...This was like reading my own story without the positive outcome.

Not only have I developed high blood pressure (normal before) under the benefits harrassment, but I suffer constant anxiety, stress and depression.<br /><br />For more than 2 years my first waking thought every morning has been Benefits, Forms and Interrogations, and there is NO waking moment when the worry isn't haunting me. I lay awake at night worrying, and when I DO sleep there are only more terrors about medicals, interrogations and forms.<br /><br />My mornings are spent on tenterhooks waiting for the postman at 1.00 pm, in dread of the brown envelope. I watch anxiously at the window, and I can't even eat breakfast until I know for sure he has gone. <br /><br />I don't phone friends or family any more. I used to read a lot but can no longer concentrate because of the pounding dread about Benefits.<br /><br />Every time someone the phone rings, my heart pounds, I get chest pains and I feel dizzy and short of breath. (I am aware that these symptoms COULD be warnings of a heart attack and not just panic.)<br /><br />And I have not dared to a TV or radio switched on in my home since 2010. Not only can I not concentrate due to the constant stress, but because no matter what the channel, there is never any escape from news bulletins, mentions of politicians, vilification of claimants or appearences of individuals such as Iain Duncan Smith. Having such media switched on only increased my sense of a lack of control in my life and the constant nervousness that at any moment something triggering would be thrown at me.<br /><br />I am also dogged, on a daliy basis by thoughts of suicide, as the government dispenses my existence from one Atos form to the next bullying and abusive WRAG (for the crime of being housebound with permanent degenerative disease) interrogation to the next round of cuts.<br /><br />Talking about this to a friend who is a former psychiatric nurse, she pointed out that this covers all the symptoms of Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder - from the sense of my life being under constant threat, to being repeatedly traumatised (from DWP/Atos harrassment), to trigger avoidance (Tv/radio), panic episodes, and the constant anxiety and dread.<br /><br />"Complex ptsd" is where the condition is caused by on-going abuse, as opposed to a one-off trauma, such as an accident.<br /><br />And apparently PTSD is considered to be a PSYCHIATRIC INJURY due to outside trauma, not a 'mental illness' that the DWP could 'blame' on personal issues (not all GPs may realise this).<br /><br />I know that I am far from alone in experiencing Brown Envelope Syndrome - but <br />perhas it is high time the disabled community started unmasking it as PTSD induced by government abuse.<br />anonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00881612754251497340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4568034298343558962.post-10953086834445184022013-04-16T00:02:41.408+01:002013-04-16T00:02:41.408+01:00Terrifying!Terrifying!Amonrosierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02403811621627886616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4568034298343558962.post-65655958887183429832013-04-15T23:31:18.396+01:002013-04-15T23:31:18.396+01:00It has all been a nightmare.

What is happening is not even humane.<br />It is a shame newspapers are not printing these stories. So many people don't realise the truth of the matter. With all the rules and regulations I feel sorry for those with a learning disability who won't understand half of what is going on. We must all keep going, sharing our lives. I agree the PIP is not fit for purpose. It is so sad so many disabled are going to have to go through this stress over and over again...Stay strong and thanks for sharing.<br /><br />My daughter can walk twenty metres.

I dread the postman coming each day, I dread the brown envelopes and get so het up and distressed that my husband has to deal with them. I am terrified of 'phone calls - it's making me paranoid, and I think thousands of disabled people are suffering in the same way - this stress brings on the mental health problems or exacerbates the already mental health problems, which in turn makes your physical health worse and your disabilities become unbearable!<br />Both myself and my hubby are disabled and our nerves are continually shredded.
