Welcome to episode 234 with my guest, Michelle F.

I'm Paul Gilmarten.

This is the Metal Inus Happy Hour, a place for honesty about all the battles in our heads,

for medically diagnosed conditions, past traumas, and sexual dysfunction to everyday compulsive

negative thinking.

The show's not meant to be a substitute for professional metal 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 was mentalpod.com.

Go there, check it out.

You can join the forum, which I highly recommend for people who are feeling kind of stuck

and alone and isolated and they're having trouble getting up the nerve to share their

story with other people.

The joining the forum is a really great, safe way to kind of dip your toe into that water.

There's some really, really kind supportive people there in the forum.

You can also read blogs on the website.

You can support the show.

You can fill out a survey, which is, you know, I like to read on the show.

Thank you to those of you that do fill those out.

And a pretty good mood right now.

I got my cup of tea.
