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

It's funny that one of the first things that came to mind is that maybe I don't belong here. I don't think I suffer from depression as to be diagnosed, but I can honestly say that I'm extremely lonely. And I have issues with connection and relationships. And I have issues stemming from both mom & dad...

Ok I guess I do belong here. I know that I do as I am needing a place to let out some of things inside my head come out and I relate to so many things I've heard and read so far.

I have a long story I could get into, but I'm sure it will come out in time. For now I just know that I'm in a lot of pain and 2013 needs to be a year that professional help comes into play. I can't do it on my own anymore.

hey, welcome!

glad you signed up even though you weren't sure.

Honestly I think it will be great to have someone around who ISN'T clinically depressed. I'm sure your differing perception and opinions will be greatly valued.

Ha, well I'm not sure if my perceptions are the best right now, though towards other people I'm sure I'd be ok - just myself :/ Really not sure what I've done to myself lately. I find that I'm behaving so impulsively and possibly irrationally in my interactions with certain people in my life. Today was a doozy of a day and just got rid of all the connections I have online and in my phone with one person. I can't stop getting angry and "spazzing" and then feeling guilty. I feel like I don't even know who I am anymore...
