Have you ever been around someone before that was nice and sweet and then the next thing you knew they were calling you every name in the book for no reason? I met someone like that about 2 year's ago. I couldn't believe how fast they could change. Have you ever met a person that could just blow up one minute after being sweet and nice 2 minutes earlier?

Yes, my husband has a few realatives like that. In their case, they have bipolar disorder and refuse to take any medication to help them out.

I can't imagine having someone in my family like that. If they were I would make sure they were taking some type of medication to control it. They can hurt someone and maybe not even realize it. I know that man could have hurt someone. He went crazy. I just hope I never see anything like it again.

I would imagine that most of us have someone we could label as a "ticking time bomb." The first "melt-down" is probably shocking, even frightening, however, once you know that person temperment you have a choice to assoicated with them or not. If you choose to associate with them, you prehaps need to know what topics will trigger the outburst.

Yes, I made sure that I wasn't around the person again. I was told that about a month ago the man went crazy in a store and just started smashing thing's for no reason. I thank God I never went around him again.

hi rhoday oh yes she is a little white haired butter wouldnt melt in your mouth looking old lady who says to allshe meets as she comesinot' our communitydining room, have a good day. The first time she said that to me I thought how sweet .we were standing in line to get our bedtime snack. I got up to the snack window and moved my cane so icould lean on it better, and sweet old lady became nasty old lady,watch where you put that damned cane, you should look what you are doing fool, she looked really mean and I had just barely touched her blasted wheel chair with mycane when she erupted. You are an idiot fool. I looked at her and said "and you are a horses rear end acting like this. leave me alone."

It make's you wonder how people like that get to live in day to day life. I can't get over how quick they can change from being sweet and nice to being mean and rude. I wonder how their families take it.
