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

I am beginning to face this and it is tough. All I can say is I try to focus on how many of those things that I've not yet done I can still do. But I have to admit that doesn't always work.
Hang in there!

I got a lot out of this episode. The main part for me was not a specific topic but that the guest was so detached when speaking about the early abuse.
