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

Hoping I can find ways to respect and also let go of what I cannot change. @CANDC

I am sorry for your losses. Grief can be so hard. My mother died in 2000 at only 53 years old. One of the reasons I entered therapy about 15 years ago was because I still could not cope with the loss. It is something I still struggle with but it is slowly getting better. B ended playing a maternal role in my life so her loss compounded my grief.
