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

Hellooo, uh I'm obviously new here, haha...

So I've recently been diagnosed with OCD and general anxiety disorder, I'm currently in therapy every 2 weeks and have been taking Prozac for about 3 weeks now. I've had kind of random-seeming mental issues for as long as I can remember, but they never really had a pattern..... Um, I'm really not sure what to put in this thing... Hahaha.
I've been listening to the podcast for a while now, like... a couple of weeks, and I love it. It's great.
Ummmmm.... There's nothing really interesting that I can say, I have no idea how to introduce myself. I don't know what I was thinking doing an introduction post, haha, I could have just kept lurking. Ah well I guess here I am!

Wow , are you the same big bad wolf from the stories ? I‘m a big fan , I‘ve got all your books !

We are all strange and random combinations of various mental "problems ". As time goes on and you listen to more episodes you will find more pieces of people that apply to you. Those doctors labels are a very good starting point .

Good luck to you and well done on joining this awesome supportive forum !
