The Bipolar Lock keeper

My name is Graham and I have a superpower called Bipolar Disorder (BD) Type 2.

I have returned to the North West (Todmorden, West Yorks) after 35 years down South.

I have bought a lovely house by The Rochdale Canal. Both the house and location have the WOW Factor. I live with my younger son (23).

This blog is about how I deal with the BD highs & lows given the stresses in my life.

Thanks for reading. I’d love it if you’d leave a comment (good or bad)

Light the blue touch paper

Yesterday we had a meeting with medical representatives with regards mum’s prescribed meds that left my sister and I raging.

I won’t go into specifics today as we don’t know what follow up action will be taken yet.

In my view, the other party came with an agenda and it was going to be his way or the highway. There was no empathy, pragmatism and an unwillingness to work towards a solution would work for all.

At one point in the meeting, he said “I don’t want to be aggressive but ….”. OMG did you just say that? Light the blue touch paper – let’s go 🤬

My birth sign is Scorpio and I have a sting in my tail. You don’t want to get on the wrong side of me!

Mess with a Jons family member at your peril. We will repel all attacks and get medieval on your ass.

After the meeting, had to get some fresh air so walked from Lock 18 to Lock 17.

    You know T and I both have had our elder care challenges in the past years. T for much longer than me. There definitely seem times when the system seems to work against you not with you. Hang on in there!
