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 emailed my T to let him know I'm not doing well.

Possible trigger:

I tried to SH last night, but the knife was dull, so it didn't really leave a mark. I didn’t tell him any of that though.

It's hard because everytime I email him I feel like I'm being "extra". I'm not trying to draw attention to myself, I email him because our sessions are never long enough to say everything I want to say. That and because our session isn't until Thursday I was hoping he may have an open spot somewhere to meet earlier. I don't trust myself right now and I'm trying to be honest, but I also feel like I'm manipulating him into paying attention to me. Does that make any sense? Does anyone else feel that way?
