Hello, and thanks

[Kat]

Hi

This is Kat, I am the person whose survey was ready on the December 23rd podcast.

I was somewhat taken aback to hear that it was read, let alone heard it on the cast -not that i mind, just surprised.

I just wanted to say thanks for the 'hug' I really appreciated hearing that.

Hi Kat,

Welcome to the forum. I'm glad you're here. I just listened to the Martin Willis episode (12/23) two days ago. I was touched by your responses to the survey which Paul read at the top of the show. I've been in inpatient psych units before and if it were possible, I would have probably kept it a secret from everyone including my family. It sucks that when my life is the hardest, those are the times when it is most difficult to connect to people. It sucks that I haven't been able to talk about what I'm going through, at least not fully, with very many people. I have this forum, I have a therapist now, I have one close friend, and I'm working on ways to make sure I'll always have support.

Kat,
Thanks for saying "hi" in the forum and taking the survey, and of course listening to the show!
