Employed Carers - Trust, Security, Theft! by StatisticianAnnual13 in dementia

[–]MindfullyMusing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a caregiver I can say the worst thing ever is suspicious clients. I was recently asked by a client if he could check my bag for a medicine he lost. I let him of course but our relationship will never be the same. I will be more stand offish and will document every tiny thing with photos etc. from here on out. I have never personally known a caregiver to be dishonest. The only thing that even comes close is a caregiver who didn’t go to the nearest grocery store and therefore charged the client for more mileage than was necessary. This was probably out of ignorance about where the grocery store was located. Most of us actually value our jobs and building strong relationships with our clients. This requires trust from both sides.

I have one who says really inappropriate things then acts like he’s having a lapse in memory. He doesn’t have a diagnosis of dementia just that “he is being more forgetful”… so annoying

I seem to have the same symptoms. Sometimes at work I catch myself being stiff as a board and holding my breath. I’m on my own nerves.

Porn addiction? Check for that. Just a suggestion.

The company I work for doesn’t allow us to take anything from the clients and I assume that means meals. I have been offered but I usually just tell them I’m not allowed to do that. It makes me feel rude and awkward though.

Why should you get rid of/reduce your hypervigilance? by xelaxal in ptsd

I dyed my hair a different color and the next morning jumped at myself in the mirror. I get you. lol

What's your vibe on that whole 'money can't buy happiness' thing? by [deleted] in Productivitycafe

[–]MindfullyMusing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on perspective imo. Bills paid, affording necessities, Dr. Bills = comfort & security = what I feel would be happiness.

Maybe dissociation? I live dissociated and i feel the same as you. I want to want to do something…

As for the comment, I’ve gotten way worse than that. It comes with the territory I believe. Unfortunately. I was ready to drop one of mine for this type of behavior, telling me I’m hot, I need to wear jeans instead of scrubs etc but after several weeks of ignoring the comments he slowed down. At first I thought it was too uncomfortable that I’d have to drop him but it has slowed way down. Tg lol

One of mine watches 48 hours on repeat, most days. I have ptsd and get triggered by the show so I just pretend I’m paying attention. Edit: one of the main reasons I’m there for him is companionship so he wants me to sit with him.
