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. Our community is overseen by a caring team of volunteers from around the world and Dr. John Grohol, the founder of the Psych Central. This dedicated team works daily to provide a safe, supportive home for people seeking help with a life, relationship, psychotherapy, or mental health issue.

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.
