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'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…

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.

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.
