I work as a web developer and systems admin.
But I have real problems with social skills, and adapting to change, and basically, as long as I have a job, I can't look after myself. I really struggle with basic stuff.
So I live in absolute squalor, I have moulds growing across the sink and kitchen worktops, my home is like a biohazard, and often I don't eat or drink. A few times I came close to death due to this.
I have asked for help but it's basically not available on the NHS, so I just do my job because otherwise I can't pay my bills.
Due to my difficulties I was previously homeless for years so I'm terrified of this, because living on the streets is terrifying. In my 20s I spent years on benefits and ended up being evicted from where I lived and then I threw myself into an oncoming train. So I don't want to go back on benefits.
Right now I have a job, so I'm terrified of losing it. I shower once every 10 days, and I'm totally burnt out. I use my holidays to recover - I book off 5 days and don't go anywhere, I just collapse and don't do anything, because I have no energy.
But I would feel guilty about claiming PIP because I can work (because I've proved that by working), so I have to keep working.
