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

Hi friends.

This morning my car was running super rough, and check engine lights (that I've ignored) were on.

I have a problem.

A persona finance problem. I am living paycheck to paycheck. I don't want to go on like this.

Here is my preliminary plan:

1. Get help.
2. Earn more.
3. Save more.

What I've done so far:

Help:

1. I'm waiting on the line with my work EAP.

Earn more:

1. I emailed my boss to request my overdue annual review

Updates soon! Thanks for listening. I feel better already.

Hey!

I just wanted to say two things:

1. I have a problem with my personal finances.

There, I said it!

There is much more I want to say, but that will have to suffice for now.

I have a problem with my personal finances.

2. Thank you for letting me share here.

This forum has been a great help to me in the last 6.5 years.

Frequently this is the only place I can come to express myself.

While the internet (or more precisely "the web") became popular when I was 18. I wonder how we got by with out forums like this, or podcasts. I suppose generations of people went to their graves, thinking they were alone.

The internet is a mixed blessing to be sure. But this is a happy little corner.
