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

Hi there. I'll tell you that it doesn't ever feel like you have enough information. Even though I'm pretty sure I know the extent of the acts i still wonder. Ny gf is finally talking about something her dad did and she's terrified that more will surface. It either will or it wont, but the most impor...

thanks lmoya, I appreciate your response. I'm still dealing with this issue. Sucks real bad.

God this is such a drag. I'm seriously considering breaking up with my amazing girlfriend even though our relationship is great because of this. I can't imagine disappointing her day after day for the rest of her life.

Hi Scott, yes I was definitely abused (mostly covert sexual abuse by older brother). Ive been in therapy a long time, including EMDR, but still haven't cracked the code. I fear it will be this way forever. I had read somewhere that bipolar disorder can be linked to periods of low libido but I've fou...

I'm in a pickle. Got a good medication, in recovery for codependency, feeling healthier than ever, and yet my weird sexual problem won't go away. For like three weeks a month I don't want to be touched sexually and feel grossed out by it. Not very good for an LTR.

I've only been diagnosed with bipolar 2 since october 2013. Since then I've had a decent journey with Lamictal, but my sexual issues are still a drag. I have complex ptsd so i figure that has a lot to do with it, but if I am only cycling from mild depression to severe depression maybe that would exp...

For twenty years I've suffered a near constant dropoff of sexual drive with no discernible explanation. I've tried everything. Its not a physical thing as far as I know, but nothing has helped at all. It's killing me. 20 years I've suffered being unable to be a consistent lover to those I love. Can ...

I'm at a loss. I'm very sexual for a week or so and then I get disgusted by it for an indefinite period of time. It's killed so many relationships and I still haven't any insight 20 years into my sex life. Dating is so hard and I always fear I'll lose a woman due to this. My current gf is supportive...

I'm having a huge problem with my sex life, and I have since the beginning. I'll be all horny and active for a week or so, and the ln hopelessly disgusted by sexual touching for god knows how long. I've had treatment for all my issues to no avail. I'm not gay, I'm not asexual, I have a girlfriend an...

Ever since my first attempts at sex, I've had sudden inexplicable bouts of no sexual desire, including a feeling of revulsion with sexual activity. The rest of the time I'm super horny and want it all the time! I've done CBT, EMDR for PTSD, treated my bipolar 2 disorder with medication, chiropractic...
