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

Hi - I'm Jeff. Not really sure how much to dump in this first post. I'll keep it general. Married for the second time to a great woman. Two great step kids. I have a decent job, but it barely pays the bills. Not because it doesn't pay well, but because we don't know how to keep to a budget. I have been in therapy for like over 10 years. I'm on 200 mg Zoloft and 300 mg Welbutrin for over 10 years. I've resigned myself to the fact that I'll be on it forever. I have body image issues. I'm 42 years old, with body image issues. I go to the gym. I'm active, I don't eat like a pig. But I have body image issues. I'm fascinated by sex workers. I browse backpage constantly, though I have never acted on anything. When I was single I was into the craigslist lifestyle of no strings attached sex and I look back now and miss those days. Anyway, I just found the podcast, and I love it. I consistently find myself relating to the guests in some way, shape, or form. So there it is. Here I am.
