pip assessment
my pip assessment is tomorrow and i have a couple of questions. i don’t take medication due to many reasons- them being that:
• I am terrified of side effects, addiction, and losing control of myself or my mind
• Both my parents struggled with severe addiction – seeing that every day growing up traumatised me badly around any kind of medication
• Even taking a simple paracetamol makes me panic and feel sick, I overthink it so much
• I convince myself it will make me drowsy, or something bad will happen
• I breastfeed and worry that any medication will affect my milk
Could the fact i don’t take medication still be used against me if i explain all of this?
I’m also worried because i live alone and im a mum. could this be used against me?
Sorry if this is a lot i’m just very anxious about tomorrow
