UC lwcra w pip went back to uni during psychosis
Hello,
I'll try to keep this short.
I have severe depression and ptsd which I'm on medication for.
For the last 10months I've been in active psychosis and have not been taking my medication.
I usually have my sister to help me with day to day things but my mental health began to affect her so I've been dealing with things on my own.
I dropped out of uni in my final year because my little brother and aunt were killed in a double shooting a few years back as the final academic year started which is why I went on universal credit.
Anyway September I wanted to unalive myself but I didn't want to have nothing to show for my time on this floating rock so I had the bright idea to get a hold of my life and go back to uni and just finish at least that one thing because I thought if I did that then everything will fix itself or can end it all and I Atleast had that.
However now I'm here 2025 voices louder, shadow people more frequent and just hearing things that have not happened and feeling like more of a failure than ever because all I've done is exacerbated what I was already dealing with at home and brought it to where people can actually see me and to top it all off I've been fainting a lot.
In the midst of all of this I've failed to report that I'd gone back to uni 6months ago because I was under the impression that it would be done automatically and when I initially spoke to student services they told me it did not count as income and honestly Ive been overwhelmed with everything I've put on my plate thinking I was making everything better.
I would like to report this change but I don't know how to go about this as I can't write most of this in my journal because I don't want to be sectioned given what I’ve already said.
I don't have a problem paying the money back as if I'm correct then there is an over payment I just don't want it to seem like I'm being fraudulent because that is far from the case.
I realise that I need help but getting a hold of a gp without doing the appointment olympics at 8am is really hard and then when you finally do your bounced around from person to person and never really get a result which is why I disengaged.
Furthermore my student status is currently being discussed as they don't feel that I should have enrolled given my mental state to begin with (shocker).
Anyway I don't really know what to do or what to expect anymore, I miss my old life, I miss working and the less control of my mental I have the further away that feels and it's just awful.
Do I close my claim and contact the repayments department ?
Thank you guys in advance I really appreciate it 🩷🩷
