Torture

will this torture never end! Received a brown envelope from DWP!, steeled myself up, telling myself I am a big girl and can deal with this. My stomach churned over and I felt very sick. Opened the envelop only to read it is about something else not PIP. Arrrgggghhhhhh!!
When the going gets tough, the tough get going.

If these envelopes are exposed to your eyes it will have a knock on effect and is very detrimental to your health. It Should come with a health warning. Also to note there's no cure or Medicine that will help with this issues we face.
I dread my postie and I have told him in the past it's not your fault and your a nice fella lol.

Please LEAVE ME BE!
i feel exactly the same, I said to my friend yesterday to call them and say to stop both benefits.
i can’t stand it anymore
the constant worry and anxiety.
my friend didn’t do it as I will, like most , lose everything I worked hard for.
i don’t actually care anymore if I do, just to get peace
Charlene, thanks you for your continued support, this is a life line this site.
Barbiesnemisis - I to have had issues regarding mortgages, thankfully mine is small but I did try to find another mortgage issuer, big NO CHANCE, do not work so cant change mortgage lender.
Seems everywhere you turn there are worries.
Again, who would chose this "life" , answer - NOBODY
Barbiesnemisis - hopefully you can get something sorted out with your mortgage, telling them is the start.

I'm not doing the MR because I agree with the assessor, I actually don't qualify.
But what I will do is gather evidence for the review. I only had two weeks to get the forms in by the time they actually arrived. I asked for an extension because it was also Christmas and people were not available to get letters off of.
I also suffer from BES but my GP thinks I have the more chronic version as I tend to leave the envelopes unopened and hide them as just the sight of them gives me flare ups. I'm going to ask if there is any counseling available for this horrible infliction.
@sleepy1 very true I get that to from BES, as I mentioned above my GP said there definitely is no cure for this illness, and the only thing he could offer is join a group called ESA ( Envolope syndrome Association ) I was a little worried regarding joining it as I had to contact these below.
Even calling and having meetings with these fools, the best I or we could hope for is being placed in the exempt category?
So it looks like we all have to cope the best we can and try and take deep breaths in between receiving the next batch of
(BES)
known as Brown envolope syndrome.

just talk to them, I’m sure they will try there best to help
