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

Thanks Moe. Well. It's over. S'long hypo-mania. Thanks for the good times. It's not fair. I've always HATED roller coasters. I woke up this morning just crying and crying. I have good reasons to cry but sometimes it feels like my body just sprung a leak and there it all goes. All the wonderful energ...

I've been trying to cut back on my drinking lately but what I feared would happen is happening...I'm getting manic. Which is fine in a way because of all the shit I'm getting done but the irritability and tension headaches are coming back. My panic symptoms had abated a little but have been creeping...

Sadly my panic symptoms have been emerging again. I've not been taking my supplements though and I haven't been to therapy in a while.

Hey Moonlight,

Read your whole story and wow! That's a lot. Great job on not cutting. I feel like I'm always telling someone on here how I relate but...I relate! And man is that tough stuff to battle. Keep up the good work and keep moving forward! I'm rooting for ya!
