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

So I'm feeling pretty good lately but this cold is still bringing me down.

I'm a little sad tonight but I'm still in a safe place. Just thinking about random things in my past, plus I have a bad cold. I've been reading a bunch of books on cognitive behavioral therapy and that seems to be helping. I'm sure I'll feel better tomorrow.

Yeah I need to just jump in and do this. My anxiety is all mixed in with add. So I'm also scared of losing another job and my unemployment. I always have done some kind of commission sales which is a very stressful job. The people in sales can be difficult also especially if you have these types of ...
