Default Unstable neighbor

Hello my friends... you wouldn't believe the night Oliver and I had. My neighbor came over and I knew immediately something was wrong... I've been concerned before about her mental status however tonight it was combined with alcohol. She started chasing Oliver around the house screaming that it was her sons dog???!!! I quickly got my baby and asked her to leave... she then fell and said she was going to sue me. Then she tried to grab Oliver from my arms saying it was her sons dog!!! I have never been so freaked out. I don't want to over react but she works at the hospital with me and I think she needs a mental evaluation. Just scared... any thoughts?

She works at the hospital? Is she involved in direct patient care? If so, then I'd report her so that they can keep an eye on her. As far as the home front, keep her as far away from your baby as possible. Never answer the door if its her and walk..no run the other way with your dog if she's coming. If you ever feel threatened again, I would advise her that you will get her trespassed if she continues to step foot on your property. Does she live by herself or with a husband or kids? Could you talk to someone that she lives with?

Eek! Glad you grabbed Mr Oliver! If this becomes a problem you need to notify the police. You don't want it to escalate into her breaking into your home to take Oliver because of her allusions.

It does scare me that she's working at a hospital.

By the way, how's the boyfriend situation with Mr. Oliver?

Yes she has direct patient care... so I feel responsible for at least reporting something to get her help. I spoke to her husband and he seemed to have no concern. I have spoken to other neighbors that share my same concern bc she seems to have paranoia. I really think she though Oliver was her dog!!! I was really scared

Do you see her interacting with patients or have you seen her act funny at work? It'll be hard to complain at work about something that goes on at home.

I would let her husband know tomorrow what happened tonight. Also let him know that next time for your safety, you will have her trespassed and will continue to take the appropriate steps necessary in order for it to stop.

Taryn... your the best... the boyfriend is trying to make nice with Oliver but my baby is the most important thing and I really feel those were his
"true" feelings... and just bc hes playing nice now doesn't mean that the true feelings will come out again.

I do not see her with patients.. however I do know we have a confidential program that I can go to... and I do know she has been reported there before. I by NO means want to threaten someones job... I really am just concerned.

Rightfully so. Do what you think is right. If she shows up to work like that, she is endangering patients.

That is very scary, and please don't just let it go. Things may be worse next time. Hope you can report it confidentially at least, to establish a background history. She needs evaluation and help.

Oh, gosh, you need to report this to the hospital and to the police, even if you don't file a complaint, just so it will be on record. I have a neighbor who is unstable ... bangs on people's houses and yells and accuses them of stealing things from her. A neighbor agreed to take her to the grocery store one time and after they got back, she accused him of stealing her billfold. Caused a big rucus. I won't open the door to her and won't engage in conversation with her. She has all my sympathy, but I don't intend to get involved with her or give her a chance to accuse me of anything.

Glad you and Oliver are ok after that! I would not tell other ppl at work if you are going to utilize that program and report her. She may retaliate, and she knows where you live. Unfortunately, with employment laws these days, if she has a def psych diagnosis the employer will have to "work w her" but maybe they can get her out of direct pt care or keep her away from you.

I agree w ORnurse, I would not answer the door again if she comes over. I also would not ever let Oliver unattended as she could be out and about in the neighborhood. If she continues to bother you, I wouldn't hesitate in getting a restraining order or calling police for trespass charges. I once had a psych dr tell me about dealing w ppl w certain psych diagnoses, "you can't reason w the insane, they lack the ability." You probably already know that if you work in direct pt care, but I liked the saying.

I too work in a hospital and we have confidential reporting. These systems are not meant to get people fired/in trouble but rather to get them help and improve patient care.

I agree with everything that you have said here and in your previous posts. She needs to be reported to the proper department at your hospital. Very sad.

agreed! She sounds like she needs some serious help, hopefully she gets it. In the meantime do not let her in your house.
