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

podcasts are a big addiction for me. I get a lot of enjoyment out of them, but I also feel that listening to them can take a lot of hours from my day when I could be doing something productive, like recording my own thoughts for a change. Anyways, my ipod recently went on the fritz from water damage...

I've always had similar feelings about the summer. Although I love the nice weather, something in my introverted nature really rejects the idea of being 'out' and 'having fun' with people just because it's a few degrees hotter. I really value those times in the winter months when I can walk outside ...

Coffee is fucking great when you need a fast pick me up in the morning. It's a miracle, but only if you have stuff to do. Which, in my case, I usually don't. So I drink coffee to help me get out of bed, then to stay out of bed. Then I'm at a loss for what to do, my cut off point is usually 3 cups. I...

Thanks oak, those are some things to consider... anyhow, I'm working for 'The Asshole' tomorrow. Not looking forward to it in the slightest, he can be such a prick. I just wish he could ease the fuck up on the grouchiness, and see me as a 'helper' and not someone who's trying to give him a run for h...

Well, I guess it couldn't have gone any worse. :oops: I don't think I'll be getting hired for this job. I stumbled on a few important questions and barely gave an answer to them. I always feel that no matter how well your answer certain questions, it's the ones you have trouble answering that really...

Awesome, I love Kulap! I was introduced to her by listening to this show and she has a great personality. Who Charted? is my new favorite podcast. thanks for the heads up!

I've been seeing a career counselor a few months now, it's helped immensely! I wouldn't have even applied to these jobs if it wasn't for her encouragement, and facing an interview would've made me go into a panic attack and avoid trying altogether. She just makes me feel normal for the position I'm ...

Interesting you should bring that up, Lizardqueen ( and welcome, BTW ). I often wonder about what's going on in people's lives to make them seek out relationships with such an age difference. I'm 25 right now and I couldn't imagine being with someone that young, no matter how attractive they are or ...

Soooooo I blew off my interview. God, what a relief! I feel like a kid who woke up to a snow day and I can do whatever I want now. I know that it would've been good for practice, but it would've also been a waste of my time , I've already decided I don't want this job so to fake like I do would be e...

Hi guys, I'm not quite out of the woods yet with facebook. I managed to stay off it for about 5 days after the deactivation and then had to sign back in as a last resort to reach one of my friends. When I browsed through it again, it brought up all those same feelings of resentment towards these peo...
