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

1-June-2014 Wow. June. The first month turn-over. Nicely done, team! I start today with the best news ever - I own a Detroit Tigers ballcap. Even though they lost to a weak-ass Mariner's lineup tonight. Lame. But hey. The Ballcap of Mediocrity set me up by giving me a hat to wear, and now I have a ...

See, it was hiding for extra effect! I had that happen while I was writing my diary at the beginning. I was so scared that I had lost everything I had written for the past couple of days...and then I found the little number two in the thread.

You'd think I could forum better. Bah. Hugs for you!

31-May-2014 I have a baguette and a forehead full of sun. No, seriously - my skin doesn't burn (or at least does very rarely) and I'm pretty sure that is all that saved me from having a glowing death-forehead. I'm trying to write something but I am finding it very difficult. Day was fine - good foo...

IRC is some ancient voodoo bullshit I remember rigging up as a kid when we got dial-up at my childhood home. It's a very simple chatroom of sorts, accessible both through Add-Ons like Chatzilla and through websites. I imagine they can be password-protected and a stickied post viewable by people who ...

30-May-2014 My bus pass runs out soon. Goodbye, $130! Oooh, and rent and phone bill and A/C fees: $680 (I live with Girlfriend who pays rent too - I couldn't afford this without her)! And weed. And I can afford it all. Too bad that doesn't make me feel any better. Woohoo, temporary ticket to the Be...

14) I love a certain type of day where it doesn't get above 70 degrees, the sun never appears, and a brisk wind blows. Those are my perfect weather days. That and freezing in the winter - I mean like -40 freezing. 15) I love it when I say something to the cat and he "replies" by way of an ...

I always knew Sterling Archer would have some mental health issues in need of examination!

Joking aside (what episode is that where Archer has a top hat, by the way?), I know that you are not alone and I wish you only the very best here in forum-town.

Moe: Piketty's problem is that, while he uses data to demolish the mythology of his own profession, he is far too weak a sociologist and historian to really do what he wants to do. He makes bush-league mistakes in his retelling of American history after World War II. In fact, if he simply pretended ...

17) I fear having my feet mangled such that I can no longer go for walks. 18) I fear that the happiness I feel is just overwound cynicism and that I have forgotten what real happiness is supposed to feel like. 19) I fear that my ongoing struggles to have my mother recognize my illness will see me go...

28-May-2014 Depending on my mood, I had decided to discuss either the sexual punishment I inflicted upon myself as a teenager or my coping methods which put me in high spirits and make things all better. It was a close battle; I left the Ballcap of Mediocrity at home and went in late on a fake excu...
