MY BIPOLAR MOTHER

I am the daughter of a bipolar mother. My experiences with my mother, family, and friends teach me everyone's reality is different and perception is the friend or the foe of the day. I am hoping my posts give insight to those who are curious and give comfort to those who see a parallel. I invite feedback and look forward to collaboration. It is my focus to spread joy, even on dark days. Smiles can be effortless or the workout of the day. Thanks for reading!

Just finished my before lunch walk & got Grapevine WF News from Jeane (96 loves puzzles.)

Joyce with all the art & double apts may or will probably not return. Maybe for awhile until find long term Alzheimer's care got worse w last week.

Lady w damaged apt ceiling fell on her bed thankfully at her family's. It takes seasoned ones been here get "news."

I am just friendly w staff & 3rd floor so got update.

Only couple on 3rd floor who checked in on me left too.

Per Jeane # those left will not return. So like living in apt place-hoping settle down w month

Lots staff turnover too Oh Well
