Don\'t Mess With My Toot Toot
I don't remember much about the last few days other than being completely overwhelmed by the driving licence issue. It has consumed my every waking moment.Mrs Mo went to the family doctor to plead for mercy but he told her as far as my licence was co...
Wheels
This morning I was lying in the bath contemplating nothing in particular. Just letting my mind float off like one of Nena's 99 luftballons when I heard the dull thud of manilla on carpet then the clank of an angry letterbox as the postman from perdit...
The Road To Hell
The shrink arrived this morning with a medical student in tow. I told her I was much, much better now. I had charted my mood, alcohol intake, sleep and chlorpromazine use over the past two weeks. As ever, she was concerned about the alcohol (70 units...
Brothers In Arms
I went to Glasgow yesterday and met with my brother and it all went surprisingly well. Unlike the usual family encounters there was no big fight nor vows never to speak again.In fact it was one of the most emotional and touching days of my life. Cert...
When Tomorrow Comes
On Wednesday I went to visit my nephew and his family. I knew I hadn't been round for a while but when I remarked on his new car he told me he'd had it for a year. I also said the pup was fairly growing... the "pup" is apparently almost three years o...
Jump
My pal Simon took me out today. God, it sounds like I'm a poodle with my own personal doggy walker. Anyway, he's a professional photographer and he took some great pictures of the salmon run. Karma ensured that I knew my place in the grand scheme of ...
I too am bipolar and cherish every bit of helpful information I can find on the net. I also need encouragement on a daily basis and bipolar mo offers that simply by living and being brave enough to chronicle his misadventures in bipolar land (for us, it's terra not-so-firma). And best of all, he's got a wicked wit, which ALWAYS helps. I loved the blog entry about his visit to an undeerinformed psychotherapist who lied and and had video cams in her office... SO funny, because it's sad and true and is apropos for all of us bipolars. Plus he's married, and relates his wife's reactions; also encouraging for me because my husband is only just learning about my brain chem and it's nice to know I'm not alone in having a frustrated spouse. Viva bipolar mo!
