About Me
I am married to a very wonderful woman. Particularly considering everything she has to put up with! I love her very dearly. She is Lunaroo on here and is my carer as well as my wife, God help her and bless her. I'm a former deputy principal of a Catholic HIgh School. I was an author of RE textbooks too, a schools inspector and a University tutor. Now I am working as a writer and a mental health campaigner. I am a sufferer from bipolar disorder, cancer (now OK we hope, ) eplilepsy and diabetes. (Maybe I should be nicknamed "Lucky!" LOL.) Ruthie (my wife) runs a fair trade gift shop at the same time as looking after me. My two kids adore her too. So how cool is that? In some ways I must be the luckiest bastard on here!
Interests
Spirituality and Mental Health issues, writing, politics esp. of Social Justice, Peace and the Environment, Liberation Theology, the Arts.

Support Groups
Close Bipolar Disorder
After years of repeated treatments for unipolar depression I was finally diagnosed with Bipolar 1 Disorder five years ago. My life much happier since, though not without its problems.
Treatments
- Depakote Working / Worked
- Good. Works for me.
- Dialectical Behavioral Therapy Working / Worked
- Yup. This works too.
- Group Therapy Working / Worked
- Co-founder of a community Bipolar Survivors Group. I think it has helped lots of us.
- Cymbalta Working / Worked
- A newish antidepressant which mops up the blues that Sodium Valproate does not reach. Works reasonably well: better than the older SSRIs for me.
