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

Loved this episode. I've listened to just about every episode but none of what was said in this episode was repetitive. It just made me like Paul even more. And Lisa was great too. I wouldn't mind another one in the near future.

I, too, enjoyed Jesse's story. He is a very good storyteller and I wish him the best of luck as a writer. I see the talent in him. I continue to be impressed by Paul's skill as an interviewer. Love this podcast.
