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

hi With all that's going on lately in the news with the Kavanaugh/Ford trial, it's caused a memory from years ago to resurface in my head that I must have been ignoring for so long. In high school I was seeing this guy and I had never done anything more than kissing. We were making out in my basemen...

UPDATE! my first session with new therapist went so great! She's the fourth therapist I've tried in a span of 9 years and this is honestly the first time I felt comfortable speaking honestly to a therapist. I'm sure it has a lot to do with the fact that I'm older and actually WANT to get help right ...

thanks for the response

and you're right, the best thing to do would probably be confront her about it and tell her she can't talk about that stuff around me. And it is totally easier said than done. Maybe next time she's getting way too into that kind of talk I'll try to calmly tell her to stop. ugh

As anyone in recovery knows, it's a daily battle, but I'm super proud of myself for how far I've come in changing my thinking and habit...

OH and I think I forgot a few things! I went to art school, lived on my own for 5 years in a big city and loved it, but now I'm back home, unemployed and looking for a job that will allow me to move out again. It's fucking hard! It's been 6 months of living with my family and I'm still applying for ...

thanks everyone! you guys are so kind and lovely, thanks for the replies. I will definitely come back and recap how therapy goes this weekend (fingers crossed). It's going to be work and I can't expect to immediately have this wonderful open and trusting relationship with a therapist, but I just SO ...

hey pals i'm a long time podcast lover, but for some reason it hadn't occurred to me until recently that I should listen to stuff about mental illness. It's something that effects me and that I am extremely interested in learning more about, just like my other podcasts that talk about true crime or ...
