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.

Last weekend, I told Mark while we were unpacking takeout at the kitchen counter. I said i'm bisexual, then stared at a leaking soy sauce packet like it had asked me to defend a thesis. We have been together for six years, and I had spent months worrying that saying it aloud would make him question all of that. He…
I have a crush on someone in my class, and honestly, I find him really attractive. He is not only good-looking, but he is also very kind and respectful. There was one moment that really stayed with me: when he had to explain something to me, he did not touch my notebook until I clearly said yes. That might sound like…
my queerplatonic partner is my emergency contact because they are the person who actually knows my medication list, my clinic, and which relative will panic and make everything about themselves. we have shared rent, groceries, sick days, and the ugly parts of life for three years. when i filled out the contact form, i…
Call me old-fashioned but I’m confused with my niece’s hubby’s behaviour post-wedding. Let’s call him Chad. He’s a nice guy, nothing major. Just we haven’t spoken much since the wedding. Before, he was the “fun boyfriend”, played with my kids and was respectful. We were excited for them at their engagement and we were…
I just need some reassurance please. I am in my third year of university I have been a straight A student. My university system is like there will be 3 semesters per year with a 14 days break in between each semester.
Thankfully I have been able to cope with the previous semesters but this semester I can feel and see…

For as long as I can remember, Christianity has been in my life...

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.
