I've got to say, people just seem lost.

Where's my community?

I have no backup.

It just seems that so many people are struggling with a lack of a social safety net and finding

safety in community.

That's Eileen, a death sex and money listener and therapist, telling us what she's been

noticing lately at work.

As you may know, May is mental health awareness month.

And while mental health is something we talk about all the time on the show, we wanted

to mark this month that death sex and money by doing something a little different.

We are partnering with our colleagues at WNYC and public radio stations across the country

on a series of live national call-ins about mental health.

We're calling the series Hold On.

Get it?

It's a double meaning of how being in crisis or a mental health downturn can feel like

you're just holding on.

And also, it's a call-in show.

So hold on the phone.

This is the first of six hours we'll be sharing with you this month.

And we're beginning at the place where most of us get stuck.

How to start therapy.

We asked you what's worked to find help.
