YOU ARE NOT ALONE - A companion online community discussion board for The Mental Illness Happy Hour podcast with Paul Gilmartin

Son & Air, I'm not going to delete your post since people should be able to see what is unacceptable and counterproductive to the safety of this forum, but I am going to ban you. Denigrating other people's experience and threatening to kill people is not acceptable. We welcome people sharing abo...

Pink Chainsaw, I'll second what Serious Oregon said. And since this is an anonymous forum, you might try opening up about some of the things you're afraid to share with your therapist.

Stephany, Welcome to the forum. Boy do I know that feeling when all I want to do is sleep, and I don't even feel like putting the energy into getting better. Sometimes we hit walls in therapy and recovery, but it doesn't mean it's a dead end. Sometimes the best stuff is just on the other side of tha...

Daisy, First off, Thank you! I'm flattered you find the podcast helpful. I hope you find this forum to be a safe place for you to connect with other people who have been thru similar situations, or at least similar emotions. I think acknowledging that you are not happy is a great place to start. I h...
