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

Love it.

BrambleAndRose - we would have made awesome, yet terrible roommates. I love all those things. Peanut Butter by the spoonful, if I have them, add some chocolate chips. I'm not allowed to buy bulk Reeses Pieces since a big bag can be easily consumed if I don't pay attention. Then it hurts... Fond of h...

Great episode. All I could think at first was how I would have hung out with him while he was in Vancouver, I live not far away! And how even after living here for as long as I have I still feel lonely. Teared up when he did as I wandered around the grocery store. I actually had to stop to compose m...

I'm 32 but have only had a sprinkling of "adult relationships" and I feel the same way. I've approached them, and then I don't want them anymore... Rarely am I approached and those very few I am not remotely attracted to. I have (mostly) broken my patterns and am open to those I may not ha...

I hope you have been able to take care of yourself, best you can. A really shitty thing to be going through and feeling good, well feels good!

I am fascinated by the results of those Biore nose strips. I'll get excited and point out a particularly large blackhead.

I understand how they can be seen as adding too much to the overall length of the podcast, but there is almost always at least one I can relate to, that I feel in my gut. I think they are an important part of this podcast,and as mentioned - can just skip them!
