thankyou!

has anyone on here been successful getting PIP for anxiety/depression?

if so how? i hyperventilated every time i tried to ring them. eventually got through. near cried but kept my cool. im still shaking. i just cant handle phone calls or confrontation or one to one or even eye contact unless its a very good day and very specfic situations/people.

my problem is. although ive a history of depression. ive never been hosipitalized and ive rarely taken the medication as i always felt it didnt work. therapy never works out because they said it themselves. my anxiety doesnt calm when i speak to other humans. i have coping mechanisms in place that tend to work. unless certain manor incidents knock me off.

my point is. i have some but not alot of medical history as proof ? what proof do you need ?

i feel anxiety effects my day to day life worse than depression has and theres no proof of that 🙁

and the man onthe phone said id be expected to speak i front of a panel.
i will literally cry and fidn it difficult to breath if i start talking about myself. or worse ill just pass out. how am i to sit that kind of meeting.

please no bashing. ive never asked for a benifit in my life. i normally deal well with my mental health on my own. good days and bad, anyone with depression will know that. its just tines have gotten so bad i need it. not all just a low amount.

but PIP ive heard is very hard to get. i have a disabled brother who has the mental state of a 5 year old. he is a danger to himself. but because he wasnt in a wheelchair and he could answet yes and no (even if he clearly didnt understand the question) they turned him down.

if they can turn someone as vulnerable as him down. what are my chances ?

am i putting myself through all this and goving myself anxiety attacks over something thatnwill never happen?

i think im just looking some reassurence or at least others experiences with PIP regarding anxiety and or t depression. im sorry i rambled on too much
