Making myself ill over this PIP form. :(

Hi, everyone. Been really struggling with trying to do my PIP around tension headaches, brain fog, anxiety, you name it. I feel so stressed by it all because, whatever I write, I'm thinking about the negatives in terms of a decision outcome. Like... "What if they just don't read the mountains of ...

The UK is broken.
