Will this evidence go against my PIP?

Sorry for asking so many questions but I am going mad her with worry.
The lady from the DWP filled in my PIP Review form and I signed it without reading it. I have depression and bi-polar. I very rarely go out because of it and when I do someone has to take me. I put this on my form as I need support to go out. , She took a letter as evidence from mental health services. It says that I employ a number of ways to control my condition and one of them was for friends to take me home in good time rather letting me stay out late. I become irrational and a danger to myself. Will this go against me? Is it contradictory or will they know what bi-polar is and this is how you behave? TIA

i had already filled a form out which I thought was wrong. I had a breakdown and phoned DWP and they sent this lady round to help me. She looked at the form and said it was fine and she would copy it. I asked her a few times what she was writing and she said she was just copying what I’d written. Her 17yr old son phoned her three times while she was here. I also have trouble getting out of a seat and need help. When I needed to stand up she stood over me but offered no help as I struggled to get up using my stick as support. I’m sure she will put this against me and the fact that I could converse with her but sometimes I can’t no matter who it is. She never read anything back and I foolishly signed the form as requested. I feel so stupid and worried sick. I know I shouldn’t but I’ll can’t help it.
Thank you for your reply xx
