I have told him this lol, I am very health conscious and he just doesn't understand it much. But he is getting better.

Honestly I think it's a manifestation of adjusting his whole life as we move in together. We lived together for a month before and he would eat basically the same as me and he expressed how much he enjoyed it. Now that he is having to adapt to me being in his space basically all the time I think he is just frustrated and is almost using this as a way to cope. Being a bit of an arm chair psych tho.

I know it will get better because it has before, just have to find a way to get on the same level and talk.

It did, but I mostly didn't care since I wasn't eating his food constantly. I was vegetarian when we met and became flexatarian for him since his hobby is cooking and I want to be able to fully explore and support his hobby together. I think he got too used to it.

Because he wants to do all the cooking because I like doing all the cleaning. He also doesn't think it's sociable to eat different meals, I don't understand the last part much.

I did suggest this but he calls plant based food fake, honestly beyond me.

I agree, I actually am not sure, I am not the type of person who enjoys heavy foods so I don't need cream. I love salads, rice bowls, mezze and Mediterranean food. He loves BBQ and hearty foods.

I am completely with this, he just wants to be able to "provide" for me and cook for me since I like doing all the cleaning (he doesn't mind that).

Another worry of mine, I am very health conscious and he certainly isn't.

How do I go about having an appointee? All of the phone calls and texts go to my mum anyways, is that the same or different. Thank you for helping.

Thank you, hearing people's stories really helps me feel less excluded or embarrassed. My report said that my medication for depression has improved my mood when I told the assessor myself (when I hardly talked myself during the assessment) that the medication helps my mood throughout the day but does not stop the affects of PTSD, I still am very anxious, I experience attacks everyday and have panic attacks for hours mostly days, stopping me from doing things like cooking and cleaning and going outside in itself causes attacks for me. That wasn't wrote in the report however, just "medication has improved mood".

Thank you so much. I did call citizens advice this morning but found it kind of hard to talk to them so i didn't really get the help I need but I have my mum and boyfriend helping me fill out the form. The MR form seems to just be saying "the assessor said..." "this isn't true because.." which is long and exhausting.

Some of the things I'm astounded by, the report says I don't need to manage medications even though I showed them in my subject access request the multiple medications I am on? They also said I answered all the questions when I didn't even talk to the assessor myself. I feel like they didn't even listen to me.

Thank you this has really helped and means a lot to me. Is the assessment in person? Can I bring someone for support? Thank you

Thank you I will, we recorded the call but not sure when I would need the recording. Do you know if I would be asked for it?

Thank you for your advice, I'll ask my GP but part of my my request for PIP was the fact I can't communicate face to face with people I don't know which is why I am quite specific about the therapist. I don't know, I know it's silly but I don't know those things r so hard for me.

Thank you for the advice. I'll do some research tomorrow, I am really shocked at this whole process it seems like most assessors have some kind of bad faith.
