Problems: I have many. Today my problems all seem to revolve around a staff person at home. She has had the correct thinking about me in the past, but the choices she seems to make revolve around retaliation against my illness. I have said in the past that I have a Mental Illness; I’m schizoaffective. For right now though I would like to focus on productive issues. Since my problems are brought to me from this female staff person, I have to explain about her, the trouble she brings, and the difficulties.
The other day I caved in and graced her with my company as she would need to pass medications. I showed up early to the common area where the medications are dispensed as a form of support. Since I was early, I was required to establish a need as a necessary reason for being present. I asked for a meal just to play along when I didn’t want anything at all. And, I was realizing that my good faith was checked while being reminded that there existed a plethora of chronic problems with her. She told me that the meal was for someone else, there would be no dinner, and that I was required to leave the common area to join the residents waiting outside for the medication time to pass. When I got outside I realized that the person which I have to deal with is a totally irrational female, that all her prejudices about me were wrong, and her various flaws of her person couldn’t possibly be my fault. I told the community of residents outside that I was sorry. I said sorry because I know that when a person has a problem, it is better just to have the correct response even though I know that there is another kind of thinking that addresses issues productively.
