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

Oh so Dr Phil may not actually be a doctor... but I think using the title makes it easier for viewers to take his word as an authority on his subjects. To me he's a freakshow host. He may have started with minor dysfunctionals but now he's out there baiting the worst people for ratings. I don't thin...

Ok so my partner already has difficulties on pristiq with ending things, won't lexapro make this worse? Add to the trouble his doc says I'm on the wrong meds and would be fine sexually if I had the right pills but I don't know how I'm going to get off seroquel and still sleep. I can't do it. Should ...

ok so you want to trade places and be a LITTLE bipolar? Want to wake up in an obs room one morning with no fucking idea how you got there? Want to go on mood stablisers for 12 months and lose complete interest in anything you ever felt passionate about? OK, go to your doc and say hey I'm a little bi...

I noticed this if I eat nothing all morning then have a high calorie/fat take out with soda for lunch my anxiety goes into overdrive in the afternoon. It's a lot less worse if I have something healthy for lunch but I can only manage coffee in the morning and don't really eat til noon these days. You...

I did the same thing just the other week. Ended up having to transfer a call to someone else since I couldn't deal with it anymore. I was already frustrated and it only took one little comment to tip me over the edge. It's a horrible feeling and you hate yourself for it, but it's just another piece ...

I think the fact society has become so messed up in general that you're practically not allowed to be overweight, even slightly, just frightens me. Speaking of those c*** trainers on biggest loser though, does anyone get the feeling they're so abusive because they're secretly afraid of their own inn...

hi aviolistw I totally get where you're coming from I was in the same place last night, just didn't know what to do. I tried calling a lifeline here and my GP neither of whom were terribly helpful. It's really awful you couldn't stay in therapy there really needs to be better free services for peopl...

Thank you so much Ell your reply means so much. I actually called a suicide prevention line tonight and your comment has helped me a hell of a lot more than they did. So thanks. Not suicidal just pushed to the limit. Think I might just come here next time I feel bad xxx
HUGS!

or Stilnox as it's referred to here. After complaining about broken sleep (even with temazpam) and refusing going back on zyprexa, seroquel and even resperidone, we decided on stilnox. My only hesitation is, since I've been dreaming about work incessantly that my dreams now will be completely whacke...

You've basically just described my whole life as it is right now, for some reason I've developed an insane, irrational obsession with making mistakes, especially at work. I'm even afraid of simply being taken out of context or misconstrued through simple omission. I obsess about every word I said or...
