Mindfulness on wheels: Tim’s story
Season 4 Episode 7
This is Tim McKenna’s account of what it is like to live with bipolar disorder – I think it is an amazing account of being male and mentally ill and initially not having much help or support through not knowing what was wrong and hiding how he was feeling – as he felt ashamed of it.
It does include some details of feeling depressed and a suicide attempt so if that is a trigger for you then just be aware of that – but it is a story of survival and realisation and learning about yourself and about cycling and straight jackets and how sometimes the worst sounding things are the biggest help.
