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

My younger brother loves the punk rock. MOSH PARTY!

I've been taking 20mgs of Citalopram daily since July 2010, but because of some issues at my current treatment center (the previous psych nurse left and I don't have an appointment with the new psych nurse until 17 March), I'm afraid I might not have access to meds once I run out of my current scrip...

Hey fifthsonata! Thanks for the kind words. Your post gives me a lot to which I should respond, but I wanted to also point you and others in the direction of a song. Turning people on to music. It's what I do. I quoted "I'm in love with Massachusetts" from the song "Roadrunner" b...

My poor friend me, I'm nodding along with your comment! I'm really afraid of getting into details about these guys, but I will say the following: both of them are in unhappy marriages and have decided to "open up" their current marriages. I sense there's an element of them being out of the...

Funny you should say that. Celexa tends to make me tired only if I'm experiencing high stress levels or am feeling depressed. When I'm "in my element" and not feeling those things, it doesn't make me sleepy. So there's that.

I just discovered the Mental Illness Happy Hour through a post on MetaFilter about Maria Bamford. This is my first post here. Hey! So, this is where I'm at. I've suffered depression since I was about six years old. My parents divorced and I ended up in a series of unhealthy environments -- bullied a...
