This behavior has gotten worse the last few days. Trying new med tonight. Has anyone had this issue? Just keeps relentlessly calling, even if I am there...but is at times lucid, and will continue if I get up and move or fold the laundry or go to the bathroom...God have mercy
I used to be scared but I realized that it will pass and she moves on. I don't try to correct her or tell her about the "episode" later when she is coherent because I know it will be frightening for her or she'll deny it and say "you're trying to gaslight me!" (she's done that).
Hold your breath when it happens, let it out slowly and try to be patient. They can get in a loop and she may be focussed on MaryJane many times. You might try asking when she's coherent (another day) to tell you about MaryJane -- if she does, great -- you will have learned something. If she doesn't, let it go and don't tell her that she talks about MaryJane or has called you MaryJane - just say, "Oh Mom, I've heard you mention her and I just wondered who she was -- she seems to be dear to you..."
