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

Social distancing, staying home and the emptiness of the cityscape has been for some introverts, exquisite. Despite the significance, dangers and gravity of the pandemic, this time is an un-looked-for high point in the lives of some. There is a window in which to learn something important about introversion; if only by those who experience it. But there is also the risk that introverts will suffer if and when a sense of normalcy returns.
