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. Registration is fast, simple and absolutely free so please, join our community today.

If you have any problems with the registration process or your account login, please contact us: community -at- mysupportforums.org.

Please keep this in mind while in the psychotherapy forums: A reminder about support and judgment here

Be careful not to let everyone else's experiences in therapy cloud your own experience. Therapy is very individual. Trust you gut. No one is in the room experiencing your therapy but YOU to make decisions regarding the efficacy of your own therapy. Too much listening to other people's opinions can often lead to confusion, second guessing, and anxiety about things that just don't pertain to your own therapy; sometimes too much armchair quarterbacking ends up confusing your personal experience and your gut instinct about what YOU need.
