again thank you for your detailed replies

on the assessors report, she has said that I 'did NOT report significant functional problems' - on ALL the questions
I never noticed it before
it seems to be nonsense since I reported many difficulties

also
I don't drive
I have to get someone else to drive me


so
should I focus on my problems and how they match the descriptors
or the descriptors and how they cause me problems

sorry if I am being dim

Always bring your conditions and limitations to the Descriptors, these are defined in law and whilst there is some wiggle room in their interpretation trying to make them do something that they are not written to include will only result in a failure to score points.

I think by that you mean how do I fulfil the descriptor?

currently making notes from your booklets/judge Agnew information

stupidly took med that helps me sleep, earlier - I forgot I had all this to do
so now struggling to keep eyes open
and getting overwhelmed by all the paper around me and on screen
spin spin

this is making me ill again
my head is 'exploding'
it is now 8am and I have nothing 'formed' into a document
each time I try I drown in it all
and now time is running out and that is screaming in my head
and I will need to get this to post office this morning and will need to spend time contacting mh team and TS and that could take ages too
and it is all adding more need for self damaging behaviours just to cope
and I am only writing this because I needed to step away from all the bits of paper
and I know none of you can do this for me
this is horrible

I am trying not to write too much as they already have tons of information on my forms/letters and info from my mh professionals
so I try to write simple points but then they grow and grow

but it is messing my head up big time
