@@teamwork1008 I would say that definitely get a social care form for extra help around the home. You can always mention to PIP that this is something you've requested or feel that you need but don't currently get the support. You can mention how without the support the struggles that you face on a day to day basis and how this affects your life and wellbeing. I would also mention about how this impacts your/their ability to do everyday tasks, such as washing/bathing. I hope this helps ☺️

@@DeeannaLouise Thanks a lot for your advice/thoughts.

@@teamwork1008 you're welcome 😊

Sometimes we need to do what's best for ourselves and letting go of people who aren't good for us isn't easy. I had a toxic friendship for over 5 years and although I knew it was toxic I didn't want to let her go. However after letting her go I feel so free. You can do what's best for you, letting go of people doesn't necessarily mean they are bad people, just not a good fit for you and that's ok 💖 I believe in you, even if nobody else does 🌟

Makes sense 💖

Thank you!!!! I'll be 5 years in Feb 2025 ☺️😁🌟🎉

@@DeeannaLouise YIPEEEE good job! I think I’m like four days clean lol we’re getting there 😆

@@SallowDraws we are getting there and 4 days is amazinggggg well done I'm so so proud of you!

SAMEEEEE

EXACTLY! It's like okay I didn't want to tell you or you found out but apparently that means the thing I didn't want you to know about is for attention, just because you found out. Make it make sense?!?!?! 😅

@@reginaldkuma3623 you're welcome, hopefully you'll be better prepared then I was 😁

@@aud.spurgin awww I didn't know this tysm for the info

@@happyC2836 yes I'm aware of this, I'm currently trying to lose weight.

That’s an awful thing to say because even when I was thin, I had sleep apnea. Weight can contribute or make it worse but not in all cases.

@gigilarigi3132 so weight can be an issue, and in a lot of the time, so you have no point. Would you rather a truth be told and it saves a life, than to pussy-foot around it?

@DeeannaLouise fabulous, you go girl!

@@happyC2836 thank you lovely 🌹

@@markcameron2691 thank you Mark, it means a lot to receive good feedback

@@stacey_margaret15 thank you lovely 🌹

Of course! My channel is all about awareness and I think sleep apnea isn't really spoken about so I wanted to make a video ☺️

We didn't find out what happened with Stash, but I did find out that I have sleep apnoea and I have since required a CPAP machine so Stash was a true hero! If you want to know more about sleep apnoea or what a CPAP machine is I've talked about these on my channel in long form videos 😀🥰

@@DeeannaLouise wow ok will check out those vids when I have time! Might be helpful for me aswell!

I semi agree with you and yes in an ideal world this should be the case however I know how easy some mental health conditions are diagnosed and how hard it can be to get others. So yes it should be the case that if you have a diagnosed mental health condition you should just get it but I think this would mean that some people would fake having an easily diagnosed condition just for the money. I think this would ultimately take care and resources away from those would truly need it. You said "if you have mental health issues and a diagnosis", how do you think this should be assessed by PIP if at all?

@DeeannaLouise Firstly I would loan the money for the diagnosis, only to be paid back if unsuccessful. Too many people on Pip have no long term disibility. I also think it would stop people going abroad. Tax is about to go up so working people will be looking to blame Benefits. Just my opinion.

@@paganartisan this makes sense, I'm always curious about what others think because there are so many opinions. I personally think that if a person has a diagnosis this should speed up the progress and make it more likely to get PIP but not guaranteed. PIP as a system say they focus on how it affects somebody and not the actual condition. However I feel the people assessing the claims aren't trained enough or they don't have the understanding to fully know how a condition might affect someone. I feel that PIP needs to look into who they are employing as assessors because I've had assessors that quite obviously don't understand the condition or will pick holes in your statements until you say something that they can use to say you don't need PIP.

@DeeannaLouise No they are not trained. Just because you don't have your PJs on and make an effort does not mean that on other days you may not even get dressed or wash.

@@paganartisan exactly! 💯 I agree!

@@bissanmakki2741 yeah I always struggle to find my shade 😅

awe thank you! this comment made my day! 🥰

Ooooo tysm!!

@@amandawright3430 yeah flying tiger do mystery bags but they aren't always available due to they only stocking them with old stock

@@AmyClarkesinger it's a bit of both. Do you have the write up from your initial assessment? I would start by writing where you feel they didn't give you points where you think they should have at the time the assessment was done and then in a different colour I'd write an update if there is one. Then I'd look at your evidence and pull any really important ones out and mention those at tribunal. Usually they ask you questions from the initial assessment but also additional ones. Usually the judge is the main person speaking and asking questions and then they offer the space to the other professionals attending. I wish you the best of luck for your tribunal and I hope you get awarded what you need/deserve

@@DeeannaLouise Thanks so much for the help!

@@AmyClarkesinger of course! Any time 😊

Thank you Amanda 😁💕

You're welcome 🤗 thank YOU for always supporting me and my channel 🤩💕😅🎉💝

Tysm! Yes please 🥺 I love having you as such an amazing friend 🤩💕

@@DeeannaLouise I will always be here for you!! ❤️❤️

I'm really proud of you for washing your face today. Some days are harder than others. I'm proud of you and always will be. I believe in you, even if nobody else does! 💖

No worries, I'm glad I was able to help ☺️

This is what I'm talking about! Being wrongly diagnosed with anything is hard but being wrongly diagnosed with bpd really can destroy someone and their medical reputation as in medical professionals will always see them as a bpd patient and with the stigma that surround that is so difficult. I was wrongly diagnosed and am now in the fight for getting bpd removed from my medical files or corrected if not removed. Thank you for commenting, it really means a lot 💕

@@DeeannaLouiseI am extremely sorry to hear you’re dealing with the same thing. Selfishly it’s comforting to know I am not alone, in such a way that somebody understands how I feel, but I would NEVER wish this on even my worst enemy. Having this on one’s medical record is just downright damaging, and frankly a total violation if it’s not true or handed out far too quickly. This is a diagnosis that must be handled with the utmost care and only for those who truly fit criteria, after lengthy evaluation spanning weeks to months. And, given the opportunity to be excluded after treatment or be changed to “former BPD in sustained remission.” I’m not sure how medical records are handled in your country but in the US, a BPD diagnosis stays with you for life whether true or not. The only way to get a BPD diagnosis somewhat corrected on one’s record would be to have a future diagnosis and notes reflecting the correction, but the initial diagnosis will never go away in the US; therefore, a sort of addendum to correct fact could be added, but the BPD diagnosis would never be scrubbed from the record. It’s truly disturbing. In my particular case, because it is “rule out borderline personality disorder - 2014” I believe if I sought reevaluation to clarify my medical record and in fact provide the “rule out,” it might actually have some impact on my situation. I have already been ruled out, but the medical system in question does not accept the rule out because it was not from a psychiatrist. This is just ridiculous as a psychologist can diagnosis just the same. I refuse to revisit a psychiatrist, especially one who knows what I am there trying to rule out. The thing that brought these emotions to the surface for me recently (sorry, I know this is long!) is that my husband and I are gratefully pregnant with our first child, and I sought out a midwife to attend my pregnancy and birth. She has been wonderful and I am so happy with her care. She does not practice with the particular hospital system that has the “BPD rule out” on my medical record. Ironically that erroneous medical record also states I have asthma, which I do not, nor have I ever. As an RN, I am certain I would know lol. I also have a psychology bachelors so I quite understand the differences between complex PTSD and BPD, but neither here nor there… So the midwife has my ACTUAL medical history, not what the hospital would tell her. Well, I started going to a pelvic floor therapist at her suggestion for hypertonic pelvic floor symptoms (hello, PTSD manifesting), and when the pelvic floor therapist sent my midwife her recommendations and treatment plan, it has the medical history from that hospital system. Why on God’s green earth would my pelvic floor therapist be given access to that information from the hospital, let alone be able to share it with the midwife? It has absolutely nothing to do with my treatment from either, and I do not feel my release of information should have extended that far. Thankfully my midwife was really sympathetic but it just brought up all kinds of shitty feelings. Pregnancy with a history of complex emotional trauma is hard enough without this utter BS. Thanks for listening. I will pray your journey forward is peaceful and includes correcting that medical record! I am here if you need to purge anything that having this video commented on might have drummed up emotionally for you.

@@sublimesamoyed again thank you for commenting! In the UK I think it's fairly similar how the diagnosis would never get removed but would basically state an end date and then a new diagnosis without an end date, therefore stating the change. I know this happens with things like UTIs etc where once you've finished the treatment and not come back for more treatment it gets automatically marked as past medical history rather than current medical history. I get wanting to relate to someone and honestly that's why I made my channel because I want to help people no matter where they live. I'm glad I was able to help you to feel less alone. I have talked about BPD on my channel amongst other mental topics if you fancy giving them a watch. My dream is to be able to do KZfaq full time and now have a "real" job as my source of income. However, thank you again for commenting and congratulations on your pregnancy. I hope it is healthy and you are blessed with your bundle of joy on time (and you don't go overdue). I actually have a real interest in midwifery as here in the UK midwife's deliver the babies most of the time. Doctors only need to when it's a complex birth or the birth needs intervention such as forceps or C-section. Either way, thank you for your support and I believe in you, even if nobody else does 💓

At the time I visited alcohol was included yes

Yes that it! I did do some research before my case and I just couldn't remember the actual percentage at the time of recording this video, tysm for the information ☺️

If you already get the standard daily living rate I'm not sure but if you call the pip helpline for current claims you should be able to ask. But just be careful because they might reassess you completely which could result in your pip being taken away. It's a matter of whether you want to risk what you currently have. The alternative is to call citizens advice and ask what they think

@@DeeannaLouise I'll leave things as they are because I did tell them about the limitations regarding the pain in my hand, the only difference now is that it has been formerly diagnosed. The daily living allowance is for other health issues and my hand problem just adds to the difficulties.

My advice is to ring citizens advice as they were a great help to me. I also have another video about pip which breaks down all the criteria and particularly for mental health

Why is that me too! 😅

Yes! As a child 😅 Thank you for your comment!

Honestly he doesn't understand in the slightest

Thank you! :)

I get that 😊

Thank you lovely 🌹
