You are NOT a nut job Candy!

It isn't unusual for psych wards with long term staff to remember patients from within a year to a couple years down the line. I think it shows that they are attentive and aware of the patients. Kinda seems good to me.

Free food always good!

Don't knock the therapy part of it based on day one dear. Give it a go. You've summarized the group and that sounds like a challenging bunch to work with. I'm willing to bet you can and will learn a lot during this week.

Try to be open to it sweetie.

Luck in droves for ya!! (((Candy)))
