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

Well, out of this comes a new thread... that is a good thing. But I truly agree - that unless it's something you've lived. You have no concept. My husband thinks that ALL of problems will be solved when I lose weight, because I'll feel better. Exercise is the cure-all - he has even mentioned stomach...

Listening to the archives... Adam Carolla. Might have spelling wrong... Enjoying but mulling your clarification that you were not "the fat kid." And what if you were, what if there was nothing to say because you were the fat kid and your sister (read grandma) said at the meal table "y...

I am not with you about the it gets better angle, which, BTW I AM UBER HAPPY is worki...

I just don't have the wherewithal - so the option I am leaning towards is putting my Affairs in order and checking out. If I stuck around, I would have to const...

It was the ugliest start to a night out ever, had pissed my husband off, literally, The Second we walked in the door. Usually we stay home and he is asleep by 9, I prefer that! Hope today is a better day for you.
