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.

What does it mean when you fall in your dream?
Health and Wellbeing Stories

yo, so i've been havin’ these wild dreams where i'm fallin’ every freakin’ night. like, what even is that??! i wake up feelin’ all messed up and confused..... it's not cool at all! the weird thing is it's always the same: i'm standin’ on some stupid cliff or top of a building and then boom!!! i’m fallin’. i don't know…

Life sure knows how to throw curveballs. I've always thought I was as straight as an arrow. My friends and family even joked that I’d end up single forever because I was so set in my beliefs. But then something bizarre happened that feels like it’s straight out of a sci-fi movie.

So, there’s this friend I’ve had for…

Sorry you feel that way
Friendship Stories

it really hurts when someone you care about brushes off your feelings like they don’t matter. I finally work up the courage to share what’s on my mind, exposing my vulnerabilities, only to have them respond casually with a comment that feels dismissive. in those moments, I can’t help but question whether it’s even…

A good friend
Friendship Stories

Life has a funny way of surprising us. I recently found out that a good friend of mine is going to this big event (like a wedding or a milestone birthday). You know, the kind of celebration where close friends are supposed to be there to share in the joy. But here’s the twist: I didn’t make the guest list.

I hate myself
Friendship Stories

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…

It’s Time to Stop Making Excuses
Health and Wellbeing Stories

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…

Got lots

Got lots of love to give but no one wants to have it. They want the toxic ones.

How anonymous venting works on IIWIARS

  1. 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.
  2. Share your story in the category that fits, with an optional poll. Stories are reviewed before they are published.
  3. 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.
