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

Hi Bez,
I'm a female in my 40's & would love to have a new pen pal/email pal!
I also love getting to know people. Not sure how to proceed from here...
Hugs!

Wow! You are brave!! But I get it, I would do the same, I think for the most part podcast listeners (not that I know more than 2 or 3...) seem to be good people. Anyway, we should definitely meet at least for coffee. I asked my friend that lives near LA to come with me for at least one day. If she c...

I am!! & I'm trying to look forward to meeting new people, but I'm really just scared & worried that I will get out there & stay in my room the whole time! & I am going ALONE! I've never been good at doing things by myself, so this is a big step out of my comfort zone. But I have wan...

This episode through me for a loop. I certainly have empathy, sympathy & compassion for Julie for all she had to deal with & I could hear how sick her parents were & I felt sad for them, mostly because they seemed to be ok with who they are & what they were doing. But, towards the en...

It has been awhile since I last posted, so I thought I'd throw out another update, even if it's just to get all this crap off my chest. So, my oldest son & his girlfriend had a beautiful baby girl mid-May. I know she's beautiful because my youngest son, Tony, sent me a picture. I sent (via Tony)...

Update - My son's girlfriend went to the doctors & is having a girl in May. I myself, had a HUGE epiphany while listening to the MIHH. I love it when that happens! Listening to the doctor, Tim. Anyway, I realized when I continue to reach out to them with advice, our my opinion, or whatever it is...

Well, I'm back feeling stuck in a horrible situation. My oldest son & his girlfriend are pregnant again...supposedly, there are some doubts that she is really preggers or saying she is to get whatever she wants. & if she is pregnant, she has started her second trimester & has not been to...

Light Bulb Moment! It just dawned on me that this about my issues with confrontation...not all of it, but right now, today it's about confrontation. I don't want to talk to Amber because I don't want to get to a place where she is yelling, then I yell. That is not good for anyone. Believe me, in my ...

Problem is that right now, I don't want to communicate with 'Amber' ( my son's girlfriend), & she wants to talk with me...I would love to talk to my son, but he doesn't really seem to be in charge of himself, she is holding the reins & keeping them tight. She sent me another text yesterday t...

Geoff 02, thank you...if only they would see things that way. Got a text from the mother of my grandbaby today, wanting to talk to me. I have not responded. The last words she texted me were 'fuck off'...I'm not sure if she somehow found out that I made the call or if she wants something else. My fi...
