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.

Alright, folks. Here's the deal: I finally quit my soul-sucking job, and boy oh boy, here I am stepping cluelessly into the wild unknown of a new career. Like seriously, never thought I'd be this eager yet terrified at the same time! You'd think by now I'd have it all figured out but nope, life had other plans for me…

I keep running into this ridiculous issue during team meetings that just leaves me scratching my head and rolling my eyes. Somehow, things heat up into full-blown arguments, especially with this one colleague who has a talent for turning every discussion into a battle. I find myself in the middle trying to calm things…

Family Drama Stories

I thought I was all good. It's been years since my uncle passed and I got over it, or so I thought. But then yesterday, I'm going through some old boxes in the attic right? And there it was: a photo of him at one of our family BBQs. Goddamit, that hit me like a ton of bricks; no lie, I just broke down. Tears flooding…

I don’t usually make posts like this, and I know how things online can sometimes look, but I wanted to share my experience in case it helps someone.

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.

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…

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.
