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

I really enjoyed this episode. It's nice to hear from the experts. Her voice was fine for me. Soothing even. I find episodes from therapists or psychiatrists very helpful. I can relate to some of the others non-professional interviews from a humanistic standpoint, but I can only take so many sad sto...

Warning. I need to vent off some steam: 1. Narcissistic Selfies. 2. People who don't care about others. 3. New Ages bitches who think they are all loving and Zen-like, but are really just fucked up, narcissistic bitches, but they are too much into their "cult" to be selfware 4. Political c...

Love them all. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for venting here Bridget. Being betrayed sucks. The feeling of loss sucks. But, don't repress the feelings. Sit in them for a while. Don't make a normal reaction a "bad" thing and wish it to go away the first time you feel it. You may not be done. Only you will know that. Give it ti...

Wow, RC409. Was you mom really that shitty about it, or do you think maybe she just didn't know what to do with her emotions over it? I'm glad you got help for it. Thanks for stating that you didn't really know why you did it. Have you any wisdom now in looking back on it as to why you were doing it?

Great episode! Paul, can you post Jessica's list about what to say to a grieving person? That's a gold nugget for certain. I want to have all those sentiments on my mind the next time I find myself wanting to comfort someone in grief, or if I happen to be grieving something myself. I don't want to s...

My Poor Friend me, She was, consciously or unconsciously, defining you and your past experiences. This is what made you angry. This is what controlling people do. Don't look at it as she was hurting your relationship and experiences with your past lovers. She doesn't have that power. She doesn't hav...

Dear youCantBeSerious, Hang in there. Concentrate mainly on the current classes you are taking, retake the old one (hopefully with a different instructor), and petition to get the grade changed to a W, with no impact on GPA. Good for you for standing up for yourself. Teachers are in a position of po...

HI TXK... Great job on your part for reaching out. This forum doesn't get a lot of posting, but there are some regulars. I check in every once and a while. I have battled with depression on and off. I think it will help you if you share with others. I think you should share with both people that hav...

Very awesome article on Narcissism. I dated a girl who's mother was a narc. and she inherited that talent too. Until I was able to understand what a narc was, I was in a state of confusion about our relationship. Everything you said is very true. I've learned to identify narc people earlier on now, ...
