I sadly don't know. For the first couple months she was in the nursing home, she was paranoid and terrified and didn't want to be left alone. I would visit her for about 4 hours every day because of this. She would spend the entire time I was with her just talking about how scared she was, everything she thought was wrong, and dismissing anything I had to say that would try putting any positive light on things. Then one day when I went for a visit, she just told me to go home. I tried talking to her and asking what was wrong or why she didn't want me there and she just refused to talk about it.

And for the record, I do not think at all she was being abused by staff. My mother has dementia and possibly alzheimer's. She wasn't doing well physically or mentally before getting put into the nursing home. I think her mind just broke. She was reading books the first couple months there but eventually stopped reading. I asked her if she wanted me to bring in a TV or anything for entertainment but she just said no to everything. All she did was lay in bed. Never got up to do any of the activities they have at the nursing home or talk to any of the other residents.

Last time I saw her was September 2022 when my sister and I worked on getting her hospice, which didn't last very long since she wasn't actively dying, but when I went into her room with the hospice worker, my mother just looked at me like I was a stranger and didn't talk. I don't even know if she knows who I am at this point if I were to try seeing her again, or if she would even have anything to say.
That's gotta be really hard. I remember my great aunt kind of got like that. When we saw her for the last time, she recognized us, but there was no connection and she seemed really annoyed to interact with us. Kind of scary to really see that who we are can drastically change. Thankfully, I don't think there is a family history of that stuff in my family. I don't want to experience that.

My mother's in a nursing home and hasn't wanted visitors since August 2022 and my father is a POS that I haven't talked to in over 20 years.
Do you mind if I ask why she doesn't want to see anyone?

Nope. Mom is dead and when I told my dad I was suicidal he shrugged, then when I pushed that I needed help he just focused on the TV and ignored me. That was a long time ago, but I learned that after my mom was gone, no one in my family had my back.

I noticed after COVID all the sudden even your generic chain barbers started demanding an appointment, and it kinda hit me that that was probably so they could avoid paying stylists for any seconds in which they weren't actively cutting hair

When they instated the policy, it was probably under the guise of limiting the number of people in the building.
You can't only pay people when they're actively working. They get paid for the whole day. None of the chain places around me require an appointment.

The bath and body works one? If so, that is very mellow and nice.
For me, it's pretty strong. I guess I gear more towards the mellow. It's good tho.
The lotion is crazy. I put the lotion on my whole body and got a headache from the smell.

Most of the challenges Ive seen have been 5-10 lbs. I cant imagine eating over twice that.
60 lbs in 4 hours seems like an ungodly amount of food.
Yeah, think of the weight of a back of salt, then add 20 more lbs, then put that all in your stomach. the fuck?

This guy did. He also ate almost 60 lbs of food in 4 hours. I think I would have said both feats are impossible.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Shoudt

He holds a number of eating records, including the most food ever eaten by weight and/or volume: 23.4 lbs or 312 fluid ounces of salmon chowder, consumed in 6 minutes.[2] He also holds the record for the most food ever eaten in four hours (59.6 lbs) at The Reading Phillies Gluttony Night on June 12, 2018,

Retail is like maximum work drama.

Half of your co-workers are useless and most of the customers are terrible.
Restaurants and bars are maximum drama. Longer customer interactions, fighting over tables/customer tips, customers and employees drinking. Don't ever wanna do it again. I'm an even keeled, no drama kind of guy.

Maybe you have a personality disorder. It doesn't make you a bad person. You seem to at least act on some philosophical appreciation for caring for others.
