Apologies for the lack of punctuation in my post . RA in hands and Fibro fog are not a good mix . I wish spring would come soon and the rain , wind and cold would go away .

Awww, thank you for the support, I have managed 3 and a half pages so far myself which have covered the "About your illnesses" section. I haven't started on the physical conditions yet.

Here's a paranoid question, they can't lock you up on the strength of this form, can they? After honestly listing all of my symptoms I have gone from worrying that I will be found fit to work to worrying that they will just send an ambulance! Seriously this all looks horrific written down, because I am so used to it I don't think about how odd my thoughts are or how little I can do. Seeing it all listed is so upsetting, I don't feel this different to everyone else but I look really ill! This is where I stop filling it in for the night, I need to do something reassuring and cheerful.

My understanding is that the DWP assessors aren't medically qualified, and AFAIK they can't invoke any section of the Mental Health Act - only a medical professional, ASW (can't remember the new term for this) or nearest relative can do this. So you are safe! (Also they won't want to spend the money - an even more compelling argument.)

Yay! Thank you, JM! I am sort of amusing myself because I am suddenly more convinced that I am too ill to live in the community than concerned about being found fit for work. One thing filling this in does is bring home to me why several professionals have mentioned residential care for me if I didn't have WaSp. After writing all of this down I am starting to wonder how I am surviving, I clearly really do need a carer. There is also a worry that I might be more unwell than I think that I am which is very scary because psychosis can make you think that you are fine. I don't feel that ill until I look at everything together. Basically, I am winding myself up in a huge ball of paranoia so I am going to colour some pictures instead!
