My mood from day to day seems entirely dependent on how well whatever I am writing is going and how much I am enjoying writing it. Catch me at a point where I am bogged down in something & unsure of how to make it work & the chances of your head being bitten off are very high.

I remember one lady who always thought she was at some kind of party as she sat in the sitting room of the care home. She kept saying 'Well, this is very nice, isn't it?' Admittedly, British people often say this when they're feeling a bit bored & would really like to go home.

But she wasn't anxious. Another lady walked around constantly saying 'Where am I? What is going on? I want to go home. Where's my mum? Why won't anyone explain what's happening?' despite us explaining what was happening and attaching big explanatory signs to the walls everywhere.

I have the feeling I would be like that and also a complete pain in the arse to carers, especially if they tried to get me to join in with communal activities and occupational health stuff. Anyway, I am only 43 so I will not worry about this yet.

Had an horrible experience in this regard with my late grandmother when she was in her mid-late 80's.

:( Such a cruel disease. Robs people of themselves while they are still alive.

Yes, I agree. My grandma begin to become aggressive and nasty to my grandfather for things he never did to her.

Frontal lobe damage. That's the worst, I think. People don't understand and bite back or want to punish the person for their behaviour.

Happened because of multiple falls. Then a specialist did brain surgery and it went sour. My grandmother a quite long life (until 88) but last 4-5 years were horrible.
