I used to be a cna in a locked down unit for almost 3 years till my bad days started more often to the point i couldn't handle work and i started to get aggressive and couldn't handle the patients i started to have a lot of panic attacks and just had to quit so i do understand lol

I had to take a year out when I was younger because I hated one of the patients, he had hurt so many of my friends just because he was bored... anyway I came in to work one day and they said he'd tried to kill himself in the night, and I realised I was hoping he'd been successful.

I knew straight away I had to get out and go somewhere else. That environment hurts people, whether they're living there or working there.

Sounds tough to deal with. I hope you have supportive people around you it's one of the most important things.

I worked with a guy who also struggled with delusions when his mood was high, do you get that too?

This may sound over the top but I work in mental health so to hear stories like this makes me really happy. I think it's utterly wonderful that you're there for each other.

That's great, the differences in outcomes when a person has a support network are huge.
