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

Hey Chad, sometimes it's not about accomplishing something. Sometimes we just need to reach out and let go of some of the sadness inside, share it with someone else. I have great sympathy for you. I can't imagine how difficult it would be to walk into that situation with a friend and lose them. I ha...

I hope you're doing a little bit better. I know the feelings and they're rough, and even more frustrating when you know it's going on but can't really do anything to change it. Hang in there.

You totally can patch those inner thigh holes, but it takes some work and a couple of patches. (sigh yes I've had this problem enough that I've worked this out.) You get a large iron on and turn the jeans inside out. I generally get one of the 4x4 squares and use it to cover the hole entirely from t...

That's such a great description of a terrible feeling. I know how you feel. That's been my last two or three days this week, and it's so hard to keep moving, but hang in there. You're not alone in this feeling, or in the world. Maybe this isn't "normal" for our generation, but I have to sa...

I'm sending you great big e-hugs Darkness. If you have a therapist or even your primary care doctor I urge you to call them and let them know where you're at emotionally. Reach out to a friend or two. I know sometimes if I feel like cutting the best thing to distract me from it is hanging out with a...

Hey Meh, I hope today finds you in a little better state of being. Probably not, I know, but I thought I'd share some hope. I know the feeling. I have hit some extreme low points in life where I felt much like you do currently. There were days I just wanted to lay down and sleep for days. I know it ...

I have a love affair with coffee. I don't know that it helps with moods any other than I like the sense of comfort I get from the routine of it, holding a warm mug or cup in the morning, sipping it slowly as I dig into my email at work... It's almost more the ritual I crave. I have recently switched...

Yes welcome Iamloved and thank you for asking about profanity. Now I can be at ease when ranting about things. It's not a proper rant without at least one cuss word right? I understand how you feel. I couple years ago I was in similar straits. I do encourage you to seek professional help, even thoug...

@Serious_oregon "one of us..one of us" aww and here I was hoping to have finally made cult status. Oh well. Maybe i'll just have to try making a zombie flick instead. Those get cult status all the time. =)
