Subject: RE: BS: Care Homes
Hiya,

Thanks. I told a friend in another one where I was likely to be moving to & she slurred "I didn't like it" so I had that in my head when I moved. Just how bad was it??

One of the very few bad points is that I never know what mood most of my "flatmates" are going to be in. One of them said if I wasn't patient I would get ignored!

That's the worst thing to say to an anxiety sufferer, esp. one who is terrified of care homes. I suppose pain can do funny things to you. The younger staff have all told me they wish people chatted more but you can't make people chat when they don't feel like it. I'm not sure I want to chat to people who say things like that to me anyway.

& at least I'm not shaking & crying like I was in the other places.
