Any nurses or carers

having mood swings can be a symptom of MS can't it?

I worked in a care home and I used to remind myself that people can become irritable or stressed when they find something challenging. I think having a condition that destroys your mental capacity and not knowing who people are must make clients very frightened.

Care isn't an easy job and it is a travesty the carers/HCAs are not paid for their skills, as it is a skilled job - whatever anyone else tries to tell you

Obviously not the job for you 1987etc I hope you find something which suits you better.

I worked in private care so was lucky in that I felt I had enough time to properly look after people.

The downside to that is clients became reliant over time and the less they did for themselves the less able they became.

I striggled to cope with watching people's energy and happiness decline.

When my first client died it was too much for me so I retrained.

Did you discuss the problem with your Team Manager 1987H?
