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.

Self harm addiction
Health and Wellbeing Stories

when it comes to self harm, the urgency is not that unusual. i find myself trapped in a loop of shame and guilt whenever exams don't go as planned. failing another test feels like a dagger slicing through my confidence, leaving scars far beyond skin deep. unfortunately, i've noticed this pattern developing over time.…

So the other day, I was at this casual get-together with my partner, just hanging out and trying to have a good time. Then I overhear a friend of theirs say something that felt like a punch to the gut. They said they never expected my partner to settle down with someone like me. Seriously? 😔

Now I'm stuck in this…

why is watching porn bad?
Life Coach Issues Stories

so i discovered my partner's been watching porn... like, regularly. and now i'm questioning everything. not because i'm some prude who can't handle a bit of adult content, but because it makes me wonder about our intimacy (you know, the kind two people in a relationship are supposed to have?). do they see me…

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. I don’t want to jump to conclusions, but the signs are starting to pile up, and I’m just not sure what to…

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.
