Welcome to My Support Forums, a private online community of emotional and mental health support groups. Since 2001, we have provided a safe, supportive place online to share your thoughts & feelings, get support and advice, share your wins and stories, all without judgement. Our community is overseen by a caring team of volunteers from around the world and Dr. John Grohol, the founder of the Psych Central. This dedicated team works daily to provide a safe, supportive home for people seeking help with a life, relationship, psychotherapy, or mental health issue.

We are not connected nor do we post anything to social media, so your posts are much more private here than if you post to a social media group.
