Anonymous community. Real connection.
Avelune combines a private wellness space — daily mood check-ins, a personal journal, weekly insights — with an anonymous community where you can share, search, and connect without your real name attached.
Avelune is not a mental health service. It's a peer support community built and run by one person. It is not a substitute for therapy, professional mental health care, or emergency services. If you're in crisis, please reach out to a professional — see the resources page or call 988 (US).
Why I built this
I built Avelune because of something I went through myself. There was a stretch of time where I genuinely wasn't okay — but I kept saying I was. Not because I was trying to deceive anyone, just because saying it out loud felt like too much. I didn't want to be "the person with problems." I didn't want to burden anyone. And the gap between "I should talk to someone" and actually doing it felt impossibly wide.
What actually helped me wasn't a hotline or a therapist right away — it was stumbling across people online who described exactly what I was feeling before I had words for it. That quiet recognition of "oh, me too" is what started to shift things for me. Avelune is built around that. A place where you can say the thing without your name attached, and where someone else going through something similar might feel a little less alone because of it.
I'm not a mental health professional. I'm just someone who felt like this space should exist and had the skills to build it. So I did. Use it however it's useful to you — to vent, to listen, to connect, or just to read and know you're not the only one.
How it works
The things that make Avelune what it is.
No real names, ever
You pick a username and an avatar — that's what people see. Your email is only used to sign you in and is never shown to anyone else on Avelune.
A shared feed
Post honestly to the community, organised by topic — small wins, hard days, what's helping, what isn't. Read what others are sitting with and remember you're not alone.
1-on-1 messages
When a post resonates, reach out privately. Conversations stay between the two of you, and you can block or walk away from anyone, anytime, no questions asked.
A private wellness space
Log a daily mood check-in, write in a private journal (never shown to anyone), and see weekly patterns over time. Yours alone.
Search & explore
Search posts, people, resources, and community threads. Explore by topic to find what's relevant to you — results are always private and never sorted by popularity.
Looked after
We actively monitor the community and remove harmful content. You can also block or mute anyone — your feed, your boundaries.
My promise on privacy
These aren't legal hedges — they're the rules I'd want as a user before trusting a place like this with anything real.
- Your email address is never displayed publicly or shared with other users.
- Usernames and avatars are chosen — they don't map back to your real identity.
- Messages are only visible to the two people in the conversation.
- You can delete your account and all associated data at any time from Settings.
- We don't sell your data or run ads.
If you're in crisis
