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.

Dating Stories

alright so i was at my friend's party last night and it was pretty chill, you know. lots of people talking, music blasting from the speakers; it was one of those parties where you need to shout just to be heard. anyway, i'm standing there with a drink in hand, kind of scanning the room like you do when you're trying…

Just landed in a new town for this job I've been excited about (and it was the only opportunity I could get... thanks AI). It's like stepping into another world, with all the unfamiliar faces and places around me. But even with all the anticipation, the setup feels completely overwhelming. Adjusting to everything…

Make everything ok

So I'm here stressing out because my sister's wedding day is coming up and honestly, nothing is going according to plan!! 🤦‍♀️ I've been running around like a chicken with its head cut off trying to organize everything but every time I turn around something else is falling apart. The flowers? Wrong ones delivered!…

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.
