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

Came across this on Twitter: http://dalepartridge.com/beat-depression-without-medication ...For those like me who don't believe in meds or want them but for some reason can't get them right now. (Cost, etc.) Others that work for me: - Laughing as much as possible. I go for a bellylaugh, I'd I can. S...

This isn't to say that I expect Paul to become confrontational with his guests, but by the same token I have heard Paul correct other guests who express less-than sensitive opinions about emotionally-charged topics. To not call out insensitive remarks such as the one that Matt made, even in the aft...

Thanks for posting. I was bullied at my previous job. I was there for three years. My boss was actually in on the bullying. We had a seasonal lay-off in 2012 and I thought that when they finally called, it would be to tell me not to come back. But my boss called and informed me that SHE wouldn't be ...

I'm amazed at the amount of people in the poll results who can't cry. I'm definitely a crier. I cry easily at internet videos, animal videos, TV shows, and movies - both dad and happy tears. It feels good to cry the happy tears, because it is such a release. I feel like I get to experience the eupho...

((Hug)) Sorry you are dealing with this. I know how hard it is to know that everything is all on you and to know you have to continue fulfilling daily obligations when you aren't sure you can. :( I am there myself right now. Been calling in more than I should. It needs to stop. Just one day at a tim...

I know what panic and anxiety is like. It is a tough place to be in, because it can really convince you that you're dying, about to have a heart attack, etc. Emergency Room bills can be very easily racked up in his state of mind. I definitely don't want to say to you, "Never see a doctor" ...

Yep..I try to feel compassion for those anonymous posters. It is literally like a sport - attempting to shame strangers. It is like a release from the stress, frustration, and shame in their own personal lives. Just go after strangers. I will bet its subconscious and they don't even realize they're ...

Welcome! ((hugs)) My coworker is in recovery. She was also on meth. She is a beautiful girl with a beautiful spirit. She just won employee of the month. She is amazing at the job and has a natural gift for this line of work. I was so proud of her employee of the month pic, proudly holding the big tr...
