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’m honestly so stressed right now, like 24/7. I have exams and school all the time, and it’s never been this bad before. I feel completely overwhelmed with everything.

the part that keeps bothering me is my siblings judging me for every small thing i buy now that i have stopped covering their bills. for a long time, my brother Nate would send me the electric shutoff notice, and my sister Kara would ask whether i could float her phone payment or a rent shortfall. i usually paid…

I feel like crying

i have stayed weirdly composed while clearing out my late mother's apartment for three weeks. my cousins keep calling me efficient because i can fold her sweaters, label donation bags, and speak to the landlord without making a scene. right now the plain sentence in my head is, I feel like crying, and it is…

yelling at me

I work at a small neighborhood bakery where the counter, espresso bar, and online order station are packed into the same narrow space.

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 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…

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

  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.
