I received it this morning . I feel like a fraud.
It says I’m unable to achieve ‘Managing and maintaining nutrition’. I can cope with putting something like sausages in the oven and dinging microwave rice or pasta with sauce. My stepdaughter and I had both said I find sequencing tasks difficult , and when it comes to more complicated meal preparation I need support with the sequencing .
It also says I’m unable to achieve ‘Maintaining personal hygiene’ . It’s true if I was still living in Essex without anyone to encourage/prompt me I’d be struggling on that score . Now I bathe most days. From time to time my stepdaughter has told me I need to change my clothes because they are stained, or need to wash my hair.
It also says I am unable to achieve a 'habitable home environment ’ . This is true as I have a PA who comes in and cleans twice a week to keep things ok. Without the support at my previous place I was living in the kind of place suitable for a ‘Messy homes’ tv series .
I’m doing better here ,which is pushing the thought that I am a fraud and not that disabled/ill . I wonder whether others get these kind of thoughts when doing better , but not necessarily in remission/recovery .
Whether I’d be doing as well without the support is the big question . I think almost certainly (99%) not.
