Hi, everyone I haven't been on ths particular thread in a while.
Anyway, I live in a building for people with psych problems. Late last month my neighborhood had a parade that was going up on the street in front of my apartment house and cannons went off during the parade, which totally freaked me. So, I went running out into the hall yelling "I'll kill 'em all!' As I was doing that my neighbor came home with her boyfriend and a bunch of little kids she takes care of and on top of it my dog runs out into the hall totally freaked himself. Anyway to make a long story short she(my neighbor)freaks as well and my dog runs into her apartment and she grabs him by the collar to get him out. So I go in there to get him and bring him home.
Now she's really not friendly at all. Does the forced smile thing and so on. The weird thing is you would think she would understand as she has stated she has PTSD also. And this building IS for people with psych problems. I guess she's lucky. She can controll her reaction to things.
Also, I'm not sure that it is wise to take care of children in this building as many of us have serious problems.
