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

I'm sorry to hear that. I would definitely try and find a new therapist. If you're feeling alone, the last thing you want is someone to make you feel EVEN MORE alone.

I saw the title "Skin Doesn't Feel Right" and I practically gasped. I've been feeling the same way lately. Food doesn't seem to taste right anymore, I can't play a video game without getting infuriated, it's like I can't enjoy anything. I've been stressing about my future, my dreams, my fr...

I'm struggling with porn right now. I know that feeling when you realize something is affecting you negatively, but you just can't seem to quit it. Cam models are my specific addiction of choice.

It's a bit of a struggle, but I know it just takes time to get that consistency back. I completely understand what you mean about physically jo...

Whoa! Pigeon get out of my head :lol: . Everything comes flooding to me at night when I'm trying to go to sleep, which is why I'm up at 2am right now. When I was in high school I played football and no matter what time of the year it was, were always doing something related to football. I always had...

For some reason, playing sports video games where I can create my own character calms me down. I'll turn down the volume and listen to a podcast or some music while I play. It's like I'm distracting my ears, eyes, and hands all at the same time haha. I'm a huge basketball fan, so I think that childh...
