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

Thanks for this. I am not in the US so will have to investigate law in my country. However, the employer is paying for the exam, so this doesn't look promising if "big brother" makes available any disclosure of depression.

Thank you Moe, Dan and others I try a little harder every day to get myself out of this. It's tough to get my head around feeling anger for only brief bits during the day. I don't explode in public, or with strangers, just explosive around the house. I've already made clear to my folks that it has n...

thank you for your words and support Dan. I feel obliged to say (and out of respect to Paul who gave us this gift) that I recognize that this is not a replacement for medical help. I don't want my words of crises to come off sounding like a depressed Internet freak making passive aggressive outburst...

Dear Dan , and all of you others Thank you for your words of encouragement. It remains the most difficult of times and the holidays approaching are not helping. I've fallen back into a pattern of binge eating followed by 2hours of agreesive cardio in the gym to try and undo the damage. It's a cycle ...

Thank you Moe, for what is anything but a useless response. I've just returned from seeing the new Doctor here. It was my priority that I find a GP who could then move me into proper psych. care. I had been asked to perform at an event (for free. NOTE: see "ego-crushing") by an old profess...

It's been a while since I posted here. Selfishly I wanted to start a new thread: "all about me". But in reading this posting I realize that it speaks of my pain as well and so it seemed fitting that I get the fuck outside of myself and contribute to someone's story. Frozen, you describe th...

Hello Kilohertz and everyone who has contributed here. Yes, I am still alive. I thank you all for you insight and sharing. What is weird is that there is nothing that has been said that I have not already considered. That's not to make light of your sharing...just to let you know that I really have ...

I have a table set for one, and there is a looser who sits there...me. Surrounded by packing boxes, packing tape, the table is set on the floor. It is a faux table. At it sits a faux-person...me. Yes, I know it's a pity party but it is where I am. Once at the top of my career game, the bright, succe...

Man oh man, could I ever use some lovin' tonight! There are so many online chat sites in the great world wide internet? Anyone interested in a real-time text chat set up. I have NOOOOOOOOO idea how to make this happen. I think Skype has a chat room thingy that can be set up. I just thought it would ...

Thank you both for you love and support. When you said "I don't know you but I'm pretty sure I believe in you" my eyes welled up with tears. I DO admire what Paul has done with his podcast, but I'm almost certain it is a healing too for himself, as well as those of us who he touches. But I...
