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.

Feeling unwanted or forgotten
Friendship Stories

Is a friendship even worth it if I’m the main one doing the checking up on? I’m the first one to say good morning and good night every damn day and when I don’t. Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

I understand people are busy but I rather someone tell me straight to my face they don’t want to talk or don’t want to be…

Fear of the future
Workplace Drama

so, I just got this job offer that sounds incredible, but there’s a catch: I have to move to another country. talk about a whirlwind of emotions! I mean, on one hand, the idea of working in a totally new place is super exciting. I could soak up different cultures, get some serious international experience, and boost…

Madness 2.0
Love Stories

I'm not really sure where to start. I'm exhausted thinking about it, trying to understand it all. The person I love most (I've never loved someone to this level before) we've had a rocky relationship/ friendship for 5 years. I’ve been blocked around 30-40 times in those 5 years. She'd beg to be with me or see me or…

Untamed desire
Love Stories

So me and my boyfriend just hit 1 year together, and I’ve been really wanting more intimacy. He has some medical issues that he’s insecure about and prevent him from directly engaging like that, but we’re long distance so the latter isn’t a problem.

But it’s still hard. I tried to initiate before and it was so close…

im dying
Health and Wellbeing Stories

To my dear family, writing this feels surreal but I have to get it off my chest. Over the past few months, there's been a whirlwind of changes (physical and emotional) that's been really hard to process. It's like I'm on a ticking clock and can't ignore it anymore. I've tried to stay upbeat but reality hits hard…

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.
