Anonymous Venting for Mental Health and Emotional Support

For the past three months, I have been carrying my dad's appointment folder to clinics, covering Maya's shifts at the store, and trying to make my apartment livable after the upstairs pipe burst. I keep doing the next obvious thing, yet the question in my head is why life is so hard? A cardiology visit, a closing…

i dont have friends, and i found out because a medical office sent me a check-in form for an appointment next week. the form opened on my phone and listed me as the emergency contact. my own name, my own number, my own stupid profile picture. the appointment is at 2:30, and this form was supposed to be quick. instead…

I've spent all night typing "how to get back at your ex?" into my notes like the answer will climb out of my phone. Casey cheated with a coworker, dumped me, and sprinted into the glossy new couple phase while I was still finding their socks behind my dryer. Casey's cheating isn't ambiguous to me, it just pisses me…

my husband hit me during an argument in our kitchen, which is a sentence i still dislike seeing even though the bruise makes it fairly unambiguous. before he came home, i quietly moved my passport, birth certificate, car title, insurance card, and the spare house and car keys into a blue accordion folder. i carried it…

Yesterday at 8:40, I was standing in my kitchen waiting for toast and scrolling grocery coupons. The dishwasher was humming, Mabel was asleep by the table, and nothing weird had happened. Then this impending feeling of doom dropped over me so hard I grabbed the counter. It was not a thought about work or money. It…

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.…

Before I go any further into my upbringing, I think it's worth mentioning how my parents met and also dive more into my parents' journey before they found each other...

So fun fact, both my parents met each other because they both had strong musical abilities to the point where they both had jobs as tribute artists…

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…
