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

Sorry, I just realized how pathetic that post sounded. Of course the other candidate could need the job more than I do, but I dont think that takes away my right to apply for it and really.hope that I get it to better my own situation. I know that I need to keep the perspective that there are other ...

first off, i just realized i post in this thread a shit ton, and i'm sorry if i'm getting really obnoxious. i stopped going to therapy a few weeks ago through a mutual decision between my therapist and I and i was ready to take a break for a while, but i need to go back. however, she is out of the o...

wow fifthsonata, well said indeed. SO much of what you said resonates with me. It sounds odd, to be scared of trying to make things better for yourself - but if you already hate yourself so much, if you were to try and fail it means your worst fears are true.

I crochet and sew :) Here is a recent crochet project that I did for a friend's baby shower. It's a carseat blanket.
