    I'd say not taking your meds and being awake for long periods of time is going to cause you to crash Lauri.

    The people who I look after have learning disabilities, so they often don't have the capacity to find other ways to communicate their emotions. If we had them arrested, they would end up being sectioned, and put into secure psychiatric hospitals, before being dishcharged to us. There's not much point unless it gets to the stage where we can't help them. Most of the time, we can help people to improve a little.

    No, we generally don't get the police involved when we're assaulted by our service users as we try to support them to reduce those behaviours. Generally, we can help them to manage their behaviour to some extent and help them to live fulfilling lives. If they get arrested, it's not going to help them. You probably have something similar in the US, they might just be called carers or something. I really enjoy my job, it's very rewarding and I get to help people.

    I am a support worker. I work in a home for adults with learning disabilities, autism and challenging behaviour - 2 of the people that I support have personality disorders, which are the main reason why their behaviour is considered to be challenging (one of them punched me in the face when I asked them to stop shouting at me - so they obviously need a lot of help and support).
    I didn't mean to make you feel bad, just to try and give you some advice so that you don't end up doing something that you may later regret. I don't want to see you get into a load of trouble for this
