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

Hello Everyone. I live in Denver. I've been listening to this show for the past couple days. I particularly liked the Maron episode. I suffer from depression off and on. It's not something I can really talk about with the people in my real life, except when I have seen a professional. This show helps tremendously in that it helps a lot to know other people have similar issues. I think it's interesting that it's comedians who are the people who are the ones who I connect with about this stuff, and less say, Dr Phil or whoever (not to dump on anyone). Comedians are good about being honest and saying stuff no one else would admit. They make a living stripping off pretense. A valuable service indeed.

Anyway, Hello everyone. I look forward to getting into the forum here.

Cheers.

Welcome Denver Guy!

I agree, comedians do tend to have a keen insight into human nature. Paul does a wonderful service for the community by hosting this podcast.

Thanks imperfectrhyme. Good to meet you.
