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

Just heard Paul Gilmartin on NPR Live Wire. I can't wait to tell all of my friends and family about this site and the podcasts. My entire family is whacked/blessed by what my dad referred to the Black Dog of depression. It's great to be alive at a time where there are awesome meds and people like Paul stepping out of the darkness to shed some light on this all-to-common condition. My favorite people are a little left of center. I no longer strive for normalcy. Humor is the salve for this soul-sickness. Well, that and Prozac, and like-minded people to share with. I look forward to getting to know you all. Thanks, Paul. Your wife is right. NEVER give this up

Yeah, I found this site about 2 months ago when I felt my depression deepening and it's really helped a lot.

I found the podcast on Keith and the girl late last year

I was at an all time low ( being dragged off a cliff just weeks earlier) and since listening. Have continued to cone slowly out of my hole.

I second every word you said!
