filling out the how your illness affects you

haloo! i'm having an awful time filling this form out. i can do the tick boxes alright (thanks for the help on the b and e website!), but writing the extra information has become a massive stumbling block. i've been granted an extension already. everytime i try to think about how bad, how much i am affected each day, i lose the ability to be objective, all the cbt stuff goes out the window, and i usually end up weeping before getting through more than half a section. attempting the form has triggered seizures, caused vomiting, and sometimes led to a slump that lasts for days. sometimes i can talk about it (when i did hte dla form, someone came to the house, and i spent two hours sobbing while they wrote stuff down, but that assistance isn't offered any more), but talk and write, no. i have trouble getting out of the house sometimes, and getting across town to the library for a cab appointment hasn't worked yet. i can't just write 'it's too hard to put on paper' each time.
Suggestions would be gratefully received!

hello! thanks for that.
the name showing link doesn't work, but it's okay. i don't mind who knows i'm applying for pip.
i guess i might just need to be firmer about the manageable pieces making, it's that my overview mind takes over and i get so overwhelmed i forget to concentrate on one thing at a time. it's the same when i go to a doctor's appt, i often tend to minimize the problems even tho that's just where i should be explaining them fully.
Is it possible to bring the form down to the jobcentre office to submit it, so that i have an extra day?
sorry for being a bit... not finding things, but could you say which section has a standardized approach in it? or do you mean answering the questions that are listed under the section heading?
thanks for your help with this. even just having someone to communicate with about the form is easing my mind, somewhat. i finished i think the first topic.
kind regards

Hi

If you can’t get professional help is there a friend or relative that could help? They are usually more honest about how severe things are too. Although o struggle with my own forms I’ve helped several people complete theirs.
And of course using the guides had helped too.
Really hope you get some help and get it submitted soon as the longer it hangs over you it is probably stressing you more. Take care. ❤️

thank you!
