Right now, I'm in my psych rotation for the nursing program. It amazes me everyday that people go through what they go through. I can't really give any information about the clients that I've met cuz it would be a violation of HIPAA, but it's really interesting. Some days are funnier than others, especially when it comes to group therapy..it gets pretty crazy sometimes. Some days, I feel that I can't take it because there's just so much to think about. When you deal with a client, you empathize for them. It would break your heart when you hear their stories. On the first day of my clinical, I saw a guy walking around in circles for about two minutes, drooling on himself. He was spinning around so fast. It wasn't funny at all. I was floored. Some break down to a mental illness because they're substance abusers. Some go through alternations in their brain chemistry. Some have nervous break downs and they literally go crazy because of the stress that's happening in their lives like death in the family, divorce, separation with their kids, unemployment, homelessness---you name it. It is a reality that people are not in touch with reality and they go crazy because they couldn't handle life. I feel like I can't blame them because we do have so much to deal with in this life. One can just take so much before they break down....
