I'm Paul Gilmarten.

This is the Metal Owners Happy Hour.

I want to see about all the battles in our heads for medically diagnosed conditions,

past traumas, and sexual dysfunction to everyday compulsive negative thinking.

This show is not meant to be a substitute for professional mental counseling.

It's not a doctor's office.

I'm not a therapist.

It's more like a waiting room that doesn't suck.

The website for this show is mentalpod.com.

Mentalpod is also the Twitter name that you can follow me at.

Go check out the website that there's a form you can post on.

There are surveys that you can take.

You can also browse how other people have responded to surveys, often revealing really deep

dark secrets and feelings that maybe you thought you were alone in.

It helps me get to know you guys better too when you fill out the surveys.

It means a lot to me.

You can support the show by going to the website.
