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

Jimmy. Thank you for sharing what you wrote. I agree with everything you say. I went through a period of resentment and anger about not having emotional security. I have blamed myself over and over for not saying something at the time. Replayed the "what if's" a thousand times. I spoke to ...

Omniel, thank you for your kind words. It has taken a lot of therapy and a long time to be able to talk so openly about what happened and to express how I feel. I relate that feeling when hearing your own words read back to you. It is similar to hearing my voice. It is me, I lived that trauma, I hav...

full disclosure upfront. I am Andrea, the guest from this episode. I just listened to it and I am proud of the result.

John! Welcome! And congratulations on the baby! you mentioned raising your wife's daughter from the age of 5 - which is so awesome. 0-5 is a whole new ballgame - you will be a good dad. But as we all do - you will make mistakes, you won't know what to do sometimes, your wife's hormones are going to ...

Welcome Penelope.. but really Kate! You can never share too much here, and it is always safe to speak (or write) whatever is on your mind. You are here now, stick around for a bit and hopefully you can find some comfort here. To me it is kinda like an online support that I can attend when and where...

Hi Justme.... Welcome. You are not alone. You are NOT a failure. You are a risk taker and a success. It was a risk for you to post here - but you did! I am so sorry you have suffered and been subject to verbal abuse. I can relate. My personal view is that physical wounds heal - the body heals itself...
