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

Yesss, I love this song. And I totally know what you mean, I also have trouble crying over things in real life, but music tends to bring it out. And it is 100% cathartic Sometimes it is just nice and comfy to listen to dark things too.

Thanks oak! :) It's weird, I think sometimes that I have all these things I want to talk about, and I don't know where I can talk about them and I forget that I can come here.

Dan Harris on The Colbert Report, talking about having a panic attack on tv and meditation and good things. I think I'm gonna find his book, it sounds good.

I was wondering if anyone has semi-fainted from anxiety? I've had the light-headed feeling before, but today I fell and blacked out for a minute. I don't think it was a long time, and I just sort of fell straight downwards, like, my legs stopped working. It was strange. I was in an anxious situation...
