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

During an office move last Friday afternoon, I opened a locked cabinet that had not been touched since our finance team changed floors.

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.
