He is engaging again now with myself and his social worker which is wonderful news
I will be leaving and introducing him to his new nurse before I go 🙏

It kind of feels like Sisyphus, like pushing this gigantic heavy boulder up hill, getting to the top. Then the boulder just rolling down and you're back at square one again
To compensate for his lack of control and power imbalance I guess becaus...

Thank you Davey Do, in a nutshell that's how it is
He is angry because he feels he has no control over his own destiny and I don't blame him. The problem is he is more vulnerable than he knows or will admit. He is living in squalor with diabetes...

Awww yes for sure, it's a really tough one, just before this pushing away he said a previous nurse had helped him and then left him 😢
And with his BPD he probably dreads abandonment
I love Ray Bradbury, his stories are so touching, I love ...

If I can I will say bye and explain I got another job
It will be hard but I was starting to feel like I would never get free and had to forever be his carer as he is so vulnerable
I may possibly continue with a brief voluntary call to deli...

Update: I have made the wrench! I had to quit the job with notice as the commute was killing me...I had another wonderful opportunity and couldn't turn it down. I almost didn't take it because of this chap as he has no family etc.
It actually al...

Hey No Stars In My Eyes that's just what I was planning
Just has to be the right person once I have found someone I will feel free to move on
I will be happy to find someone as I can then take a more local job but feel I cannot just leave ...

Thank you Okami, I'm thinking straighter now and seeing how ridiculous the idea of working with him in a new job would be
The truth is though (cannot write much here because of confidentiality) but people with his diagnosis most easily recover w...

Well I changed my mind and decided to stay as at this point I don't want to let him down it feels wrong
I will try to break the unhealthy dependency / dynamic
Thank you all 😊
Ms Blue Sky replied to Ms Blue Sky's topic in Nursing
Thank you, yes I do
I will leave and still present the case at panel for him luckily that is coming up soon ☺️
I will say goodbye and explain I am leaving as this job is right near my house, I pray it'll go fine
Ms Blue Sky replied to Ms Blue Sky's topic in Nursing
Davey Do that is lovely such a sweet story but yeah it is quite a different situation to mine I guess, but like you I do care about this patient
In my case, it's got to the stage where this chap will only take meds if I give them at the moment a...
