I have a resident in the facility where I work and
she consistantly burst into tears she's demented but also has scistoprhenia (i'm a horrible speller) so she sees people where there noit and imagines things to the point where she beleives what she imagined the it goes on for days at atime lately it's been "they're going to take me away" they changes from one person to another as someone passes her. During groups she bursts into tears for no reason last week I started asking where I could buy patience cause I'm slowly losing it no one seems to want to help infact I get paged if she acts up even if I'm on lunch they
expect me to take care of it I'm a Activation worker not a Psychiatrist.
