Anonymous Venting for Mental Health and Emotional Support
IIWIARS is an anonymous venting site. Write about what's weighing on you under an automatically generated pseudonym, read other people's stories, and get points of view on your situation.
It's a place to share and discuss, not a therapy service. The name stands for “If I Was In A Reality Show”: here's why.

i cheated. it happened last month at a friend's party. i was a couple of drinks in and feeling a bit off that day. my partner, Sam, couldn't make it because of work, so i went alone. everything was going fine until this guy, Jake, started chatting with me. he was funny and charming, and i guess i got caught up in the…
I bet if I stopped messaging my friend, he would never message. I feel like I’m holding up scraps that aren’t meant to be fixed. I feel like I’m prolonging the inevitable. My friendships always end up like this. We talk a lot and then crickets. Until we finally drift apart.
Maybe I’m not cut out to have friends. How…
So I have this little dream that it’s growing inside of me and I don’t know if it’s too big to be true. A classmate made a similar path career as me, as a bilingual recruiter, and now he lives in another country as a coordinator and I was wondering if maybe in some seven or eight years I can do the same thing. And…
hey guys. today was a hell of a day at work, you know? like, on january 15th which should just be another monday but lemme tell ya, it definitely wasn’t. so there's this spreadsheet we were working on...important numbers and all. in fact, it cost the company around 12000 bucks because of some miscalculation... yeah…
Going back to my younger years for a bit, I've heard that I didn't officially start talking until around three or four years of age—though my twin sister and I were still incredibly close. There are pictures of us watching cartoons as toddlers and playing together in the living room. My sister started speaking before…

I've come to the harsh realization that perhaps, I'm not the nicest person around. In my mid-thirties, I find myself surrounded only by a single friend and a girlfriend, yet I can't shake the feeling that I'm somehow superior to others. My lifestyle is quite reclusive; I shy away from any social gatherings related to…
Hey everyone, I’m not usually one to air my personal stuff, but I really need some advice here. For the past few months, I’ve had this gut feeling that my wife might be cheating on me, and it's eating me alive. I don’t want to jump to conclusions, but the signs are starting to pile up, and I’m just not sure what to…
I’m not as self centered and competitive as I used to (thanks therapy lmfao) but tonight something funny happened at one of my english’s classes. My teacher told me in a certain a way that I was being a little bit competitive because I was talking fast and my partner at a project didn’t understood what I was saying.…
For the longest time, I’ve been stuck in this cycle of excuses. I’d wake up every morning telling myself I’d make changes, that today would be different, but by the time the day ended, I was back to square one. Whether it’s eating healthier, exercising, or even just cleaning my space, I keep putting it off. I’d tell…
How can I remember someone that I used to love with happiness and not pain?
There’s someone that I truly loved with my whole heart and he was for a while my best friend.
We met at a volunteer and then we became really like really close. He became my best friend. He truly understood me and knew about the mazes…
How anonymous venting works on IIWIARS
- Sign in with an account you already have (Google, Apple, Facebook, Microsoft and others). IIWIARS does not save your name or email address: it keeps a pseudonym generated from your account identifier, and that pseudonym is what other people see.
- Share your story in the category that fits, with an optional poll. Stories are reviewed before they are published.
- Read the points of view left on your story and reply to them. Replies are public and can be removed if they break the rules.
Everything you publish is public and appears under the same pseudonym, so leave out names, places and details that could identify you or the people involved.
