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

Hey,

I'm new to the forum. I have downloaded and listened to about half of the podcasts in the last month. I am loving them.

I am a recovering Mormon. I have depression. I have an appointment this Thursday to talk to a counscler. I figured it was time to get some help. My wife is a great support, but doesn't really understand why I am depressed and no longer want anything to do with Mormonism and God. It is hard on her, and makes it harder for me.

I am glad I am here and hope to find some like minded souls.

Hello Ducktape, welcome to the forum! Glad you are seeking help, and we are all looking forward to your written contributions to the threads here! Cheers, all the best!

Welcome, friend. Good luck with your counselor. I hope you can start to find some relief from your feelings. My own spirituality has taken some strange and unexpected turns since I finally started being honest about my illness, and I definitely know where you are coming from.
