  • Entering people's bedrooms- residential disability home?

    Another question;

    I work in a residential home for 5 men with intellectual disabilities.. 1 man has severe anxiety and another is a total bully who is very challenging ..

    The challenging guy screams at night very loudly outside the anxious guys bedroom door to scare him and laughs as he finds it hilarious to hear the anxious man cry.

    He then enters his bedroom to tell him "I've just used the toilet" or "I've just brushed my teeth" just to wake him up after midnight and to annoy/ scare him even more..

    staff cannot give out to the challenging guy or else we get physically assaulted (and he's huge- always draws blood).. anxious guy is too scared to have a lock on his door in case he locks himself in (even though we've explained we can open it from outside).. even if he had a lock.. challenging guy would bang down his door just to scare him anyway.. what can we do? It's heart breaking to watch.. staff try to distract challenging guy away from doing scare tactics but this doesn't work as he doesn't get his mischievous fix!!!

  • Toilet paper problem in intellectual disability residential home?

    I work with five men who have intellectual disabilities. One of the men is very challenging and his favourite way of annoying people is to use a whole roll of toilet paper to block the toilets resulting in us calling out a plumber on a weekly basis.

    We have tried toilet tissue dispensers too thinking he might get bored of taking sheet by sheet individually from the dispenser but this was not the case. The other poor men are now often left with no toilet roll as we only leave a few sheets in the toilet to stop this happening..

    Any ideas on what other way we could work it?

  • Autism- freedom of speech?

    I am working with a lady who has autism.

    She is very vocally repetitious and this can be very challenging not only to staff but to other service users also.

    We have decided that when she is repetitive we are to tell her to "say it once" as it irritates other service users who listen to it daily.

    I am wondering is this restrictive and are we prohibiting her right to freedom of speech?

  • Is there something wrong with me?

    I was in a relationship for 5 years (im 24). We've been finished over a year now and I have realised in the year that theres something up with me sexually. I have never had an orgasm with another man, i can do it myself but never anyone else. Also (and this is a bit embarrasing) but men find it sometimes difficult to "enter" me?! I love the intimacy and sexieness of sex and the closness it brings but I dont find it THAT pleasurable? and my main pet hate with sex is if he doesnt ejaculate for ages coz it starts hurting .. there's defo something wrong with me I know but what do ye guys think??

  • Is my boyfriends weed smoking taking it's toll...?

    My boyfriend and i have been going out for 5 years, im 22 and he's 23.

    He is a really brainy guy, just finished university, has a job etc.

    However our sex life is really bad, once every 2 weeks we do it.

  • What is up with our sex life?

    My boyfriend and I have been dating for 5 years, im 22 and he's 23.

    In the last 2 years we just keep fighting about our sex life...

    We have sex probably once every two weeks on avarage and this is an improvement seen as it used to be once a month!! we dont live toghether and we'd stay in each others houses probably 4 times a week..

    I am the one who finds this annoying as id love to do it every night! Iv asked him about it numerous times and he say's " i need to insinuate it more" but i hate doing that as im scared of gettin turned away all the time! He just has no sex drive!! Also when he does want to do it, it takes him forever to actually ejaculate which is really annoying and its not like i dont know what im doing plus im an attractive girl!!!

    Iv tried not mentioning it at all so he doesnt feel presurised and seeing how long it takes for him to do it and it was a month!!!

    He IS tired a lot and thats always his excuse but i dont think this is normal do you???

  • PLEASE HELP! Should i get back with my ex?

    I am 22 and have been with my ex for 5 years.

    He broke up with me a month ago because of the following reasons:

    1: We basically lived in his bedroom. He lives with his mother so we couldnt even go in to the living room or kitchen we were just always stuck in between his four walls. So this inevitably caused extreme bordom in the relationship.

    2: I lost contact with all my friends so i spent ALL my time with him. This annoyed him as he felt bad leaving me when he wanted to go see his friends and it caused fights when he wanted alone time... sad on my part, i know...

    3: We became more like best friends rather than lovers. Romance died however this could have been due to problem 1..

    4: He told me he loved me to bits but was just not in love with me anymore.

    So we broke up, we both cried our eyes out, it was very hard.. We both remained best friends and texted each other and still cared for each other immensly.

    Another thing to point out is that he had broke up with me around 6 times already all because of the same reasons, but we both kept getting back hoping things would change.

    A month on now and this has by far been the longest breakup.. we both believed this was for good but now he wants me back however this time it could be very different due to the following:

    1: I have my life back on track with friends and things to do for myself.

    2: We both have money now to do things with each other and have more fun together.

    3: He wants to get a house next month so we would not be stuck in his bedroom.

    4: We both miss each other and want each other.

    However my parents and friends think im mad. They cant understand why i'd take him back after all the break - up's we had. They basically think he's messing me around and it cant be love if we have broke up that amount of times. My father say's that with true love, it doesnt matter about having space or anything, you should just want to be together. They said they will be angry at me if we get back.. My mother also reckons he's ugly and i can do so much better which hurts..

    I also asked him how come he said he isnt in love with me anymore and he said he is it just got too much and he needed space.. I said but living together will not give you much space but he said it'l be different because we wont be confined to one small room with nothing to do..

    I just dont know if im going to end up getting my heart broke for the 7th time and end up looking stupid.... and some things about him annoy me but i dont know!!!!!

    PLEASE HELP!!! i need as many honest opinions as i can get!!

    I still think about him all the time...
