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

I'm not really taking good care of myself at the moment. I don't have a job, rent will be due soon and I don't know what I'm going to do. I still never feel good, and I didn't when I was working. In fact, things were worse when I was working part-time. Slightly better financially, better in that I actually got to leave the apartment, but much harder. I couldn't afford help then, I can't afford it now and I don't qualify for assistance. This is what it's like to feel hopeless, lost, alone and exhausted. I'd like to die. That's it.

It'll pass.

Please take care in this time of heightened pain and suffering, sdjustinr. You don't deserve this - you deserve better. Please be strong. Use this forum as a resource as you see fit. We here are cheering for you and for your greatest today and tomorrow.
