Anonymous Venting for Mental Health and Emotional Support

i got home with my badge still clipped to my scrub pocket and found my roommate waiting by the kitchen counter. before i had even set down my lunch bag, they asked if i could listen to what happened with their manager. i said, "i dont want to talk, i need quiet for a while," and went toward my room. they followed me…

last Tuesday at 7:20, i was checking in for a routine shoulder scan when the hospital receptionist pushed a clipboard toward me through the slot in the glass. the emergency contact box was blank, and she tapped it with her pen while waiting for me to fill it in. when she asked who i wanted listed, i stared at the box…

I figured out the name for what I do about a month ago, when my therapist said the words "cycle of avoidance" and I felt caught. She wasn't even talking about my relationship, she was talking about my inbox. But it's the same thing. I avoid the hard conversation, I feel relief, the relief teaches me that avoiding…

I had just begun breakup therapy, thinking I was making progress and starting to heal. but then seeing them again was like opening a wound that was still fresh. we hadn't seen each other since we decided to part ways last month, and the…

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.
