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 might go this route if it is taking too long to get an appt with your MD. Also, be wary of any primary care physician who suggests that they can treat your depression themselves and that you don't need a referral. I've been through that before and ended up on such a high dose of benzo's I couldn't function
