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

You are so welcome! I really do understand what it's like being anxious and fearful and I know we can't just switch it off--if only we could!! Yes, the news can be so upsetting. Even tho I have no children of my own, it really gets to me when I hear that yet another monster has harmed a child. I can...
