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

I'm getting help! I'm actually getting help! I went to the clinic today and was for the first time able to simply say what I feel. I did it. I told the nurse about my past. I mentioned everything. And she put me on the urgent referral list, meaning that I'll be helped. I can't stop it. I can't sabo...

You're most welcome! The joys of being unemployed while your partner is working a job, yeah? Also, I'm great at accepting thanks. Well, there are a billion different programs you can use. You can use Mibbit, which is browser-based (and thus doesn't care about which web browser you use). There are st...

Yeah - IRC is one of those acronym/techy-word things where the actual procedure is far easier than explaining it. Chatzilla is dead easy - it's a Firefox add-on that more or less explains itself. Where it stops, I step in. Behold my attempt in instructions! STEP ONE: Your screen should look like thi...

Well, speak of the devil - I had just decided to look into it and there was the message telling me to go ahead! I have created a password-protected room on ircnet. The url is here: [url]irc://ircnet/mentalpod[/url]. In order to use IRC, you need to use an add-on like Chatzilla (which is the one I us...

17-18-June 2014 I can feel a clock ticking. Girlfriend starts working in five days and, even though I have been told that the temp agency will find me another job I know that I will soon begin hating myself for being unemployed while she is working. She just went through a spurt of that with me, bu...

16-June-2014 Truthfully, not much happened today. I wish I had more to say other than advice for those who like electronica (that advice, for the record - check out Feed Me's Alarm Clock) and that I really like the new flowers on my balcony. It's hard to think about much. I feel like I'm carrying a...

14-June-2014 Today, during Convocation, I told the President of my alta mater, a former Liberal cabinet minister, that he "proved to me why the [federal Canadian political party] Liberals can't be trusted to run anything" and walked off without shaking his hand. He simply embodies everyth...

The Last Little While

Has been utterly miserable and it has been attacking my ability to write. I'll get through it and my parents and report back - honest!

9-June-2014 Welp, the fates have decided that I shan't return to the Warehouse of Sadness. Since the incredible altercation mentioned on the...6th? Seriously? Jesus, that feels like forever ago. But yes - since that heinous crime was too much for boss-man to bear, I was fired. Well, "released ...

One Month! *cue party balloons* So, this weekend was pretty good. Convocation and work loom heavy but I have decided not to go to work tomorrow and to instead clean up my place. Until the big down that is next weekend, I think I can do okay. Except for when I do actually go to work. Probably Tuesda...
