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

I just found the podcast a few days ago, and feel like I'm a different person. I can't stop thinking about the show.

I would say that I am "anti-polar", and want to feel alive. I think that I am happy, but my life is pretty bland, as I seem to have preferred.

I have quickly learned from the podcast that it is relatively normal to have some of the thoughts that I experience. It is also great to hear basic information about getting therapy. I have a lot of questions about the relationship between a counselor and client, but I am becoming increasingly interested in talking with a professional. For now, I am already opening up and feeling better thanks to the show. Above all, I guess I am a fan of radical transparency.

For the record, I am a 29 year old male, known to be "emotionally unavailable". Nice to meet you all.

Welcome, kgb!

Glad to meet you kgb, I'm glad you found the podcast. It really is a great thing. I stumbled on it a few months ago myself and absolutely love it and the community that goes along with it. I'm sure there are quite a few people here that could answer some of your questions, myself included. It's good to hear how the podcast has helped you already, it's very encouraging. I hope you enjoy it here.
