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

oak, that was good advice to "not worry about the outcome of the interview." You know why? BECAUSE THERE WASN'T AN INTERVIEW TODAY!!! The lady who I talked with on the phone made a scheduling mistake and filled me in for an interview with the head manager, when I was supposed to meet with ...

Congrats on getting through it, Oak! I'd be interested to hear an update in how your search is going... I have an interview at a restaurant tomorrow, and I've put off planning or stressing about it until today. I feel confident in my capabilities for this job, and I think my resume' shows that my pr...

Cool! Great idea. I haven't read much erotica, guess I never found my 'niche,' but when I write it myself it's more exciting than any visualizing or looking at a picture could ever do. I'm always so ashamed about it and dispose of it after. I don't want anyone else to find it and re-reading it embar...

Thanks, just what I needed to hear. So often I get the impression that my basic interests and hobbies will have to be sacrificed to get along with a significant other. Like, time to leave boyish things behind and become an adult. It scares me, because I don't know what else I have but these interest...

I don't understand people who prefer short podcasts, they seem to be rationing off their time for entertainment. 20-30 minutes isn't enough time to get some JUICE out of an interview!!! That's a radio fluff piece. GTFO of here with that.. If a podcast is an hour or less I'm a little dissappointed. I...

To know my time is better off spent without him is really the key to solving the issue. I've dealt with that fact for awhile in my interactions with him, we don't gel as people. Everytime he comes around, he puts such a damper on things, and I just can't even handle the burdensome weight that seems ...

I can think of a few people who I find disagreeable, because of how their behavior and outlook on life differ than mine, but at the end of the day I respect them for individuality. I just hate being in their presence, since they like to pretend the world revolves around them, and me being part of th...

Hi, Blustery. Wow, I really related to your post. I feel like that everyday, I'm overweight and walking is pretty much the only exercise I get, and it ALWAYS makes me feel better, no matter what. So it's a shame that I don't do it more often. I'm usually more comfortable indoors too, but when the we...

I hate how addicted I am to the dumb internet. I don't even get much out of social networking with people I know. Going on facebook just makes me mad at how shallow my relationships are. I want to de-activate it SO bad, but it's my only contact with certain friends and family members. I just have to...

welcome, PunchBrother! great name. I'm 24 and live in the U.S. I used to write poetry a lot and it came very naturally but for some reason I stopped and haven't done it in maybe a couple years :? I think that always restricting myself to making things rhyme got tiring for me and I'd rather just writ...
