Anonymous Venting for Mental Health and Emotional Support

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. Now the pressure shows up whenever I am alone in my apartment…

Hi, I'm an 18 year old guy struggling with social issues, depression, OCD, loneliness, etc. My struggles began in Grade 9 when two boys started bullying me. They humiliated and degraded me to my face. I was too shy to fight back, so I pretended like it didn't bother me. They also pretended that we were friends and…

Months passed by already since the last time I was here, but I just wanted to say that I feel like life is going pretty well. I guess not for the academic stuff, school can be tough but hey, I think its for my own future and that it's the best for me to keep going and finish it. I just wanted to drop off some stuff…

i have only ever dated men, so the question in my head is "Am I bi?" and it feels both obvious and impossible. my closest friend, lena, is the first woman i have wanted in a way that does not fit neatly inside friendship. even typing "wanted" makes me hesitate, because maybe i am confusing emotional closeness with…

the sentence in my notes is always the same: how do i stop loving someone? then i delete it because the answer seems obvious, stop contact. my former partner is engaged now, which i found out from a picture their sister posted, not from them. the ring was visible beside a plate of fries, and my ex had that…

I've come to the harsh realization that perhaps, I'm not the nicest person around.

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…
