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

Feeling bittersweet today. I mourn what has been stolen from me because of my depression and narcissism. It made people, my whole life long, decide in their own best interests to avoid me. That sucks, and it is painful to reflect on my lonely past.

The few connections I have managed to make are deep and intense. That is the sweet part.

It is enough to keep me putting one foot ahead of the other, and struggle through this weird life.

If you could wish me luck, I would appreciate it.

How are you feeling today?

Good Luck Moe

I'm actually feeling good. I'm back on a med that works. I've also been withdrawing from Effexor which made me feel miserable but the effects of that are getting less and less each day. I'm enjoying feeling good and somewhat excited that I could be a better happier person if things keep going the way they are. There is also a part of me that wonders what my life could have been if I'd stayed on my meds when I was younger. But also comes the thought that if I hadn't come across this med when I was younger, would I have even lived?
What a long strange trip it's been

Best of luck with your meds, brownblob, it looks like you are on a positive path.
