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

Wow. This one hit me really hard too. If you read this Seth, hang in there and keep on keepin' on. There is help out there for you, the hardest part is reaching out, and I think you are there.

I believe so. My husband takes Celexa (earlier version of Lexapro) and ADD meds - not sure which one but I know he had to try a couple before finding one that worked. (I think Adderall made him super crabby).

I just had this feeling that the nice people were supposed to get some type of reward, too. But any system that plays favorites is as inherently flawed as the person controlling it. Unfortunately I have yet to work or study anywhere where no one plays favorites. It's an unfortunate part of life. My...

Anyway, the snacks brought that day were unreal (king-sized Reece's pieces. We felt like winners.). Love that story. When my younger daughters played little league in 3rd grade, I had to explain to their coaches that the kids really could care less about their standings. For them it was all about c...
