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.

Yesterday at 8:40, I was standing in my kitchen waiting for toast and scrolling grocery coupons. The dishwasher was humming, Mabel was asleep by the table, and nothing weird had happened. Then this impending feeling of doom dropped over me so hard I grabbed the counter. It was not a thought about work or money. It…
I don't know if this is how people usually write here but oh well;)
It's hard to feel wanted and loved when every interaction i have shows me otherwise. I had an exchange semester a while ago and thought i had found people who would be with me for a long time and we would manage to keep in touch. I was sure one of…
As much as there were good memories and kind people at the church growing up, I eventually reached a point where it didn't feel like the right place for me anymore.
There were a few different reasons that led to my sister and me stepping away from going to the church altogether...
The main reason being that as…

My older brother died three weeks ago, and I have not cried since the call that told us he was gone. At the funeral, I stood beside his dark blue casket with my jaw aching and my eyes completely dry, even while my mother soaked the shoulder of my jacket.

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.…
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…
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.
