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

Don't worry KitKat I am not going to sell my prized rare games. I am thinking about writing here, a post, about video game addiction vs. video games as a release. As for the cruise. I think it would be awesome to do and I am sure the listeners could come up with a list of movies for everyone to enjo...

I liked the feeling of that dream KitKat. But instead of a camp could we make it a real nice cruise somewhere? Imagine a cruise filled with Mental Illness Podcast listeners. Mental health professionals. Groups therapy with new friends / fans. Live Podcasts. And best of all a marathon viewing of the ...

I feel your pain DID, As to the physical side effects of dealing with family I have had those in the past. For almost 23 years I wouldn't even hug my mother because of the stress and emotions it would bring up in me. Not to mention anyone else in the family giving me a hug it would actually make my ...

Dr. CatPants, I wish I could find a sliding scale that would take me. I make just a little more than what is needed to pay a lower price. On average the cost per hour session with a therapist or psychologist is anywhere from $200-300 an hour. Since I make just above what I need to make to get state ...

It is hard to admit this. But, I need someone to actually listen to me. I am trying my best to deal with the depression i have felt for decades now. I can't seem to do it alone anymore. I wish my fiance' could understand it better. I don't think she quite gets why I am so down all the time. I have b...

I am currently in a long term relationship with a wonderful woman, who gets me sometimes. I have dealt with depressio...

A Cherokee Legend An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life. "A fight is going on inside me," he said to the boy. "It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil - he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiorit...

@admin, Thank you for leaving that ignorant post up. I was the victim of sexual abuse and rape. I have never looked down on anyone who feels they were molested or sexualized just because there was no physical contact. I hope other members of the forum read the ignorant post by Son&Air and realiz...

Oak there is no need to feel bad about your thoughts. I had many dark thought of ways of killing or mutilating my father for what he had done. I even once made a comment that if I caught him alone I would torture him till he begged for death. Not being bright at the time , since there were about a d...

Update to life since finding this podcast and my last post. I am glad I can feel like I am not alone anymore. That other's know how I might feel inside. I unfortunately took a rather nasty fall recently and gave myself a concussion. However, I guess the knock to my skull loosened up a bunch of repre...
