| Karrie Marshall @KarrieMarshall Like a run away train, once anxiety is triggered, it increases speed/intensity. So important we know how to either prevent it (as suggested earlier) OR get ahead of it with something amazing/ whacky/ wonderful/ humorous/ loving that can distract and avert the 'collision' #AlzChat |

| Hilgos Foundation @IRememberBetter RT @journeyofcareM: @juliagapowell @creativitycare Sleep issues are big issues for both the pwd and the carer, but mostly the carer. It's a huge problem and difficult to solve. Anxiety, depression etc are contagious too when your reserves are down. #AlzChat |

| Hilgos Foundation @IRememberBetter RT @nursesKidONE: I installed a live aquarium app on an iPad to use in this way. I think this type of thing (aquariums & photos of nature, etc.) should be available on hospital room tvs. #AlzChat |

| nursesKidONE @nursesKidONE RT @2centscorner: @creativitycare @IRememberBetter Sundowning can be very intense for a PLWD. It is important for carers to gain as much knowledge on this subject, as the array of emotions can be triggering for them as well. #AlzChat |

| Caroline @journeyofcareM @TommyTommytee18 I think a fact sheet of @TommyTommytee18 points about sundowning would be extremely helpful. Maybe someone like @3SpiritUKNZ could collate them ? #Alzchat |

| nursesKidONE @nursesKidONE Caveat: Safety is a matter of subjective perception. At an emergency admission, a hospital had me sign an agreement that I would not elope (leave w/o a medical discharge). But I knew I'd crawl out of there, if I thought I had to for my own safety. #AlzChat |

| nursesKidONE @nursesKidONE RT @KarrieMarshall: Like a run away train, once anxiety is triggered, it increases speed/intensity. So important we know how to either prevent it (as suggested earlier) OR get ahead of it with something amazing/ whacky/ wonderful/ humorous/ loving that can distract and avert the 'collision' #AlzChat |
