Hi Ed. Thank you for commenting. I think you are saying your mother's bipolar disorder and it's impact on your early attachment (along with early head trauma) is why you have a neurological disorder. I'd like to respond, but wanted to first clarify that I'm understanding that correctly.
I can’t be certain, but from what I have come to understand these are definite (haha) possible reason for my present condition. My condition, btw is not severe compared to others. I am old enough that my “progressive” condition will likely take some time to develop . I use red/nir light therapy, cannabis, cycling, music, conversation, writing as therapies and enjoyment. Thank you for your interest
Thank you for elaborating on that. Sounds like you’ve found some enjoyable tools. I’ve been thinking rowing might be a fun therapy…so far I’m only rowing at the gym with my eyes closed imagining that I’m gliding across the lake that’s five minutes away….I hope to get there. Your own regimen is inspiring me to make things more enjoyable. Thank you for that.
I think rowing would be wonderful. maybe tehre’s a rowing club or group which help you do the real deal!! I guess I haven’t read your bio very carefully. Do you suffer from a neurological disorder or are you trying to enhance your well being, regardless? BTW I think light therapy would enhance almost anyone’s life…
Our 14 month old granddaughter has a lot of screen time from her gamer parents and she recently stopped talking when she was starting toooo. So disturbing but they think screen time is a must. How do you recommend us bringing it up?
This is such a challenge for many grandparents. How you bring this up depends a great deal on the parents. Some will be receptive to education (including sharing the two studies that I shared), while others will be very resistant and feel any sharing of such information as an intrusion on their role as parents. In those cases, I think it can help to frame things in a way that supports their role - for example asking first before sharing information and framing things in a way that doesn't suggest that they should already know this. Letting them know that you respect their role as parents and with their permission wanted to share new information (that most people aren't aware of) that you recently read. Thank you for asking about this.
I am 75. My mother was bipolar. I am quite sure that along with early head traumas (not abuse) I have a neurological disorder (Parkinson’s?).
