So I'm in a bloody tough spot at the moment atm. I've recently found out I have autism and I'm trying to claim PIP. The PIP process is extremely stressful, draining and demeaning. I currently have nobody to support me at all. No friends. Hardly had a conversation with anyone in the last 10 years. I'm not talking to my mother anymore, who was my lifeline, because I now consider her a narcissist. If I reached out to my mum she could help with my needs, but I can't deal with her. She dismisses any criticism, treats me like a child, is happy when I'm unhappy, provokes reactions over my worries — all while seeming like she's a complete saint to everyone else. She's a gaslighting expert. I'm still living with her, which just makes it all worse. When I used to speak with her, I at least knew I had someone who could help. Since I've mostly cut contact, she's now hinting at evicting me. So I'm dealing with all this along with my very debilitating day to day autism issues. I still haven't even fully processed the autism diagnosis. I don't know what I'm supposed to do in this situation. It's just a big joke how bad it is tbh.
Rant over.
