    thanks for the reply, I know what you mean. I have tried online ones but find them too intrusive...sounds odd I know, but there are indirectly in my home via a screen! I wanted to see if a 'real life' one would be better. :-)

    I am disappointed that noone else has come forward to enable the possibility of a local meet. Have been going through a long period of low and struggling still. Meeting others and being able to talk in a non judgemental group would be I think beneficial. Anyone?

    My father had ect back in the late 60s early 70s. He has tinnitus (sp) and short term memory loss. He also has drug induced parkinsons after all the drugs he had to take....some of which have been long since withdrawn.

    CBT is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. I had a short amount of this but found it unhelpful for my bi polar. Person centred counselling I found far more beneficial. ECT can be used but I think, think only in extreme cases. My father had it back in the 60's. He was left with tinnitus and memory issues.
  5. strangely I have this too. It's either one of my gf's wires although she denies losing one! or it is something else. Either way I am sure I can hear it and I now get holes in my t-shirts (not moths!)

    I would really like to take part in that. :-) I would prefer weektimes to be honest. Evenings are good. Weekends I wouldn't be able to do regularly and I think continuity, for me at least, is good!!!

    Wouldn't it be good to have a local group rather than go to Beckenham? I too have bi polar. I don't go to support groups but have often thought about it. I don't medicate now, long story. It is tough. I have been 'well', i.e no major lows for about a year now. I have a lot of highs though. Thankfully not dangerous, just tiring. I have a lot of what I call low blips where I feel really crappy for short times. I would be happy to meet up. :-)
