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.

I don't know how to start this so I'll just say what happened. Last Friday my sister put on one of those rom coms where the guy finally shows up at the airport, and I cried. Not a little. The kind where you have to pretend you're getting water. I'm a 24 year old guy who has watched every action movie ever made without…
i keep typing "how to deal with a narcissistic father?" into my phone at 2:17 a.m. because apparently sleep is less urgent than figuring out why my dad sabotaged a job and called it parenting. i'm still living in his house, using the shared family email because he insisted all "important paperwork" should stay…
Just finished an interview yesterday for a Seasonal Team Associate position in a Bloomingdales outlet. You might be asking why am I telling you this?
The reason: Just realized I (M24) don't want to be in my current job any longer. That one certain day (a week ago - November 3rd) was a wake-up call for me to find…
I keep sitting here thinking, whats clingy? The person I have been dating keeps going silent for three days, then popping back up with some dumb meme like nothing happened. When I finally asked why they vanish, they said I was getting clingy. Clingy how??? Because wanting a basic reply is apparently a massive burden…
i am crying in my car behind my dad's apartment building, with the grocery receipt stuck to my sleeve and the heater blowing cold air at my shoes. My younger brother called while I was carrying in Dad's milk and said he had just paid $486 to stop the electricity from being disconnected. I thought my brother was asking…

For as long as I can remember, Christianity has been in my life...
Whether it be by going to church, potlucks, Agape Feasts, or just simply praying, I've been locked in it since birth really...
And quite frankly, I wouldn't have it any other way...
Even though life hasn't always been perfect... Church being…
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…
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.
