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

I'm a twenty something journalist living in the bible belt. I hope to eventually get out West maybe LA or Seattle. I'm diagnosed with depression and struggle with that every day. As anyone could guess some days are better than others. I'm a very lonely person even though I know a lot of people. I am afraid of relationships and, have more hookups than anything I would love for that to be different. If you couldn't tell from my username, I am a huge LoZ fan. I'm working a lot and constantly tired from working for a newspaper and for a podcast based out of L.A. I do however love both jobs and wouldn't trade them for anything.

Hello The_Hero_of_Time, welcome to our little forum!

Hi Hero ....
Welcome. Depression is a total bummer. I also struggle with it constantly even though on the outside it seems I have a lot "going for me".
Sounds like you are in the same boat. Sounds like your work is a life saver. Weird about that. Depressed people often make good workers.
I hope things get better for you.
