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

Today I got CUT* off by the last of my family. They don't understand mental illness. I have never felt such pain in my heart and as a result of this I will be homeless soon. I just really need somebody to talk to. Someone who's not judgmental, who understands mental illness. I saw my counselor tonight thank God. But my friends are pulling away because they're sick of my problems, they don't understand because they don't have mental illness. My counselor told me that they are sick, my family. The things that I have told her about other family members, she knows that I have been abused. And these are the last ones that said they would be there for me but now they've pulled the rug out from under me and also accused me of stuff that is not even true. I am utterly alone. I don't know what to do. Even though I know the truth and they are the ones that are sick in the head, it doesn't help the pain. I need someone to chat with.*

Please take care, please don't feel like you are utterly alone. Use this little forum as a resource. I wish I could say something not trite to take your pain away. Keep the lines of communication open, NowWhat.
