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.

why does love hurt so much? i've been through this breakup that has totally messed with my head. seriously, one minute you're floating on cloud nine and the next it's like you've hit rock bottom hard. i keep asking myself why something that starts out feeling so great ends in just pure pain. sounds cliché i know but i…
Growing up, I recall my mom mentioning that she had an interest in doing creative art like drawing or painting alongside her love of singing, but unfortunately, she felt compelled not to pursue it because her oldest sister got all the attention for art.
I'm always impressed by just how close the bond is between my…
it's kind of wild when the people you thought were solid start bailing on you. like, last weekend was supposed to be a chill night with friends, a chance to stuff our faces with good food and laugh a little. but as the clock ticked closer, my phone started blowing up with apologies. “sorry, can’t make it, unforeseen…
Let me start this by saying I fully acknowledge my behaviors and am no way saying this person is in the wrong.
Today I got one of the worst texts, a message from one of my close friends that I have been offending her and that my behavior has been "aggressive and condescending". I never felt my heart drop like it…
So, here's the thing: I've been on this relentless cycle of trashing my own relationship by obsessing over the littlest things. It's like my brain is hardwired to nitpick and argue over stuff that honestly shouldn't matter. Yet there I am, escalating tiny disagreements into full-blown arguments as if I'm auditioning…

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.
