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.

moving to this house totally threw me off balance. i had this amazing support network back where I came from (friends who really got me you know?) and now I'm in this giant place surrounded by strangers. it's like drowning in a sea of faces and no one's even looking your way... ever felt that? I thought I'd manage…
finding out that a close friend has been spinning tall tales about something I thought was pretty sensitive has really thrown me for a loop. now, every time I think about our friendship, I can’t help but wonder what’s real and what’s just a fabrication. it’s like I’ve got a permanent filter of skepticism over…
So, picture this. I'm at work, trying to keep my cool during a chat with a coworker. You know, the usual corporate banter. But somehow, the conversation escalates, and before I know it, I’m fighting back tears like a toddler who just dropped their ice cream. It’s embarrassing, right? And this isn’t the first time it’s…
I started a new job recently, and once again, I feel like I'm out of place compared to my colleagues. It's not just this job either; it's been a recurring pattern throughout my life in different environments. Whether it's in school, at previous jobs, or in various social settings, the feeling of being inadequate…
I don't know where to start, or if there is even one singular place to start. I am the first born in a family of three with siblings that are much younger than me. My mom died when I was 12, but our second born was just 3 and the other was just 1. I had to grow up pretty quickly. My dad cut us off from all the family…

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

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.
