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

But thats exactly what youve said. Here, if not yet there. Your not talking about the hurt of his rejection, your talking about losing the power
struggle. But by making it about the power struggle, you can pretend you are not fearful of his rejection, you pretend it doesnt exist, you pretend he loves you, but in reality you only win the power struggle, not his love.

Instead of playing "he loves me, he loves me not", you do something unspeakable to that poor daisy.
