My Support Forums - Mental Health Support Groups

Get emotional support and friendship from others like you!

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. Overseen by a caring team of volunteers from around the world. Dr. John Grohol, the founder of the Psych Central mental health site, also founded and continues to oversee this private community to provide a safe, supportive home for people seeking help with a life or mental health issue.

You are currently viewing our community as a guest, which gives you access to view most discussions. By joining over 550,000 other members in our free community, you will have access to post topics, communicate privately with other members, respond to polls, upload content and access many other special features. 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.

I blither on the periphery of forum topics that are usually safe, non-commital and of no challenge to my avoidance behaviors. I confront nothing too deep. What I'm having for supper for Christs Sake??? How do I feel today???

Well...typical behavior I suppose. I DO sometimes break out enough to try helping others but I deny myself any help by not trying to dig beyond the crust of my problems. See you...just popped in to crank a bit...maybe seeing this later on will give me some things to think about. Good luck with things everyone.

Holy Fudge. I wrote this back in 2012??? Wish I could say things have improved. Hahaha! Quizzickle! Yep! Dat was me! Holy crap!

It def. gives me some things to think about. Finding this is quite amazing. A lot of time has passed. Interesting and a little scary even. Def a thought provoking circumstance.
