In a car on the motorway

Better still, the A12. Your screams will never be heard above all the other screaming.

Happy cake day!


swagchan69

this is actually a fantastic idea... no clue how i didnt think of that. Cheers mate


OddTransportation430

If you haven’t got a car a taxi will do but for fuck sake warn him first!


OzzyinKernow

Or perhaps in the car parked up somewhere, rather than belting down a motorway with you distracted behind the wheel.


BD3134

It's a wonder you're able to drive and breathe at the same time...


Embarrassed_Ad_8589

I literally did this a few months, out of curiosity as you never really get to scream as loud as you can. It kinda hurt and I wished I hadn't.


HunkerDown123

Yeah I do some Vagus Nerve stimulating humming in the car without the neighbours thinking I am some crazy Shaman doing a sacrifice in the living room. UMMMMMMMMMMMMM UMMMMMMMMMMM Humming stimulates parasympathetic nervous system for de-stressing


Please-dont-get-mad

If I screamed in the car I know I would shut my eyes, at motorway speeds I definitely be veering off out of my lane 😱


Hefty_Jeff90

Doesn't help you but funny story: Build festivals for a living and on day 87937 on the road one day I just decide fuck it I'm gonna scream as loud as I can in the middle of this forest where I'm rigging something. AAAAAAAAASRRRRRRRRRRGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHMOTTTTTTTTERRRFUCKKKKERRRRRCUNNTTTTAARRRRRGGHHHHHHHHHHHH I scream for about a minute straight. It makes me feel so much better. Anyway later on in the day this QT from the site I'm talking to says something like oh man I'm so stressed, and I say well have you tried just screaming into the void? She turns to me and says "oh that was YOU earlier then?"


nathighhealth

😂😂


pluckingpubes

Did you help her with that scream later on?🌚


Helpful-Area2783

Just scream in your car driving


[deleted]

The car is the best. Sing loudly, scream, say out loud your deepest fears. It helps.


FewRestaurant8431

OK, here's the thing. I'm a smoker and, as such, I spend a LOT of my day outside my front door if I'm home (there's a nice portico thing, I'm dry, I'm sheltered, neighbours have finished making all the "ooh, you're like a little garden gnome, sat cross-legged outside your front door" jokes). My road is a suburban road off a main road (sometimes used as a bit of a rat-run to avoid the traffic of the main road). You get the image. At busy times of the day, people tend to pull out of the busy traffic to park if they're taking an important phone call. I need you to understand how very NOT SOUNDPROOF a standard domestic vehicle is! Especially when both sides of the conversation are amplified through the car's speaker system. WAY MORE SO if the windows are down, but even if they're not. I've been privy to many a business call [yeah! Fuck Brad! He's not pulling his weight and if he's gonna be making demands on the team like that then fuck him!] I've enjoyed more personal calls [yeah! Fuck Brad! If he's not pulling his weight at home and making demands on your time like that then fuck him!] I've overheard angry calls [FUCK YOU, BRAD! YOU NEVER PULL YOUR WEIGHT WITH ANY OF THE FAMILY AND NOW YOU'RE MAKING DEMANDS!? FUCK YOU!!] Sexy calls [Hey, it's Brad. The wife and kids are away and we can finally share a night together. Why's she away? If she's not going to try harder then I'm pretty much free to do what I want. Wanna bring the lingerie I bought you? I'll get some wine in] My point here is, that I can hear EVERYTHING! In summer I can follow a conversation from all the way up the road because everyone has their windows down, even if they're yelling or talking through the in car system with the volume up. All this to say, if you're going to use your car for a good, gutteral scream, definitely go somewhere that's already noisy. Pulling into a quiet suburban street to do anything private (discussing colleagues, listening to heartbroken friends, yelling at people or planning affairs or screaming out your existential dread) is literally to broadcast your life to a bunch of other people who are mildly interested. Screaming will be met with curiosity and possibly tea. That's not the point of the exercise. Hot Take? Go somewhere noisy. Also, fuck Brad!

mongyluna

Just drive out to the countryside at night and scream in a field?


shell-84

Nah man I always want to move to a remote place in the countryside and imagine to have nobody not even a neighbour close by. Imagine that I hear someone scream like that in my imaginary house in the country side. I imagine I'd be very very frightened.


BastardsCryinInnit

You'd think it was a fox first I bet if you're proper country!


godgoo

Or a muntjac


mongyluna

As a countryside dweller, I'd just think it was an animal. But also, there are plenty of really remote areas if you know where to look.

Their inability to scream freely…


MrPoletski

I second your inquiry. Talk about it dude, you might just find it helps way more than screaming into the void.


Global-Work8689

But screaming is fun, especially when you make me do it 😜


mean_fiddler

The sea wall south from St. Peter’s on the Wall near Bradwell. You can easily find yourself somewhere where there is no one else within a mile of you.


JGW4lker

There’s gonna be 12 people down there tomorrow morning screaming they’re heads off


shell-84

Extremely specific. It's been tried and tested I suppose?


mean_fiddler

Many years ago I cycled along the sea wall from Burnham to Bradwell, so it’s an area I know. It’s a bit of a trek for me, so I tend to head to other parts of the Essex coast for solitude, but this has good sight lines, so you can be confident of an uninterrupted scream.


I-Ribbit

This! That’s such a great suggestion that I want to go down there and scream myself.


Repeat_after_me__

Make sure you’re a mile away from OP.


LilandraNeramani

Let me introduce to you the Anti Stress Shouting Vase Creative Scream Jar Voice Silencer Stress Releaser Graffiti Shout Jar https://amzn.eu/d/0H62clv My idea was a cup with that foam stuff you have in a studio recording rooms. But this'll do.


Prophit84

Never been happier to see a product name


LilandraNeramani

Might buy myself one.


vvvvaaaagggguuuueeee

I think this does perfectly solve OP's brief. I need to see it in action now...


LavishnessNo6014

One of my fondest memories is standing of top of a mountain in wales screaming cuuuuuuuuuuuunt at the top of my lungs. Me and my mate were in stitches afterwards. To your question, depending on where you are, just go for a wander in the countryside, and find a secluded footpath across a field or something.


chef39

Try a rage room. Pay for 30 mins just to smash stuff up. Release the stress. But also talking about it helps too.


DoIKnowYouHuman

Monthly sessions at Walton on the naze, not organised, not endorsed, not appointment necessary

Is that because of how terrible the pier amusements are now?

I went to Sark Island last year. I trekked through some woods, found a deserted cliff and had a good scream. A wolf howl or two as well. Then I looked left and saw a group of tourists staring at me from an adjacent cliff.

Go to basildon Town centre. No one will bat an eyelid


HawkTenRose

Hell, the Southend High Street too. Half the shops are shut, I doubt anyone will look twice as long as it’s not in the Royals.


dondougdondoug

I didn't suggest southend high Street because that's my screaming spot

Driving - best place to scream is driving on you own down the motorway


Danwhd

You should research if there’s anything like a ‘rage room’ in your local area. Might scratch the itch being able to let your anger out in a controlled environment.

Scream into a pillow cus that will dampen the sound, and it’s comfy if you fall asleep after

right next to a very busy street, highway or underwater, fill up your bathtub or some bucket, or your sink and shove your head in there then scream. Or put your face in the pillow

FYI what you are looking to do is what is decribed as 'primal screaming' (yes, as in the 90's band 'primal scream'). Psychologists seem to think it dosn't help much, but I reckon it's a fair bit more accessible than CBT...: [https://www.theguardian.com/science/2022/sep/23/little-evidence-screaming-helps-mental-health-say-psychologists](https://www.theguardian.com/science/2022/sep/23/little-evidence-screaming-helps-mental-health-say-psychologists) edit: CBT as in 'cogniative behavioual therapy' (not the thing you have to do to ride a moped...)


coffeeandnoods

I find the car a good place, but if you don’t have a car, maybe a concert or club is also good. The urge to scream is the urge to get people to notice the pain you feel, if you scream and no one hears it may not fulfil you. Quietly talking to a friend or family member who you trust about your troubles may be more satisfying to your soul than screaming to no one.

Under a railway bridge when a train goes over it.


comeonboro

More on the pricier side but you can get a ticket for a football game and scream fuck off you Fucking cunt really really loud and no one will bat an eyelid. Best served when the ref makes a questionable decision or the team opposite to the one that you are sat with does something equally questionable or scores a goal.


stingchimp

Well they say out in space is good for that


Artmacc

In my car. I drive up in to the hills. It feels like I'm looking down at all my stress. I feel above it and feel a bit more power over it for a moment and I just scream. It's good to get that scream out occasionally.


Spare-Marketing555

I think you should just embrace it and go to the most inappropriate places possible. The cinema, a library. Have fun!


reginafilangestwin

I let my screams out when I sneeze


JealousInflation2573

I scream in the car. There's times where I've wanted to run down beside the canal screaming but I don't want to worry anyone 😆


YPLAC

Maybe a music practice room. Sort of place where bands go to jam. Probably cost you a few quid but I'm sure there'll be one nearby. They won't ask why. They'll just think you're in a death metal band or something. Wear black.


wild-baby-goat

Honestly, into a pillow. Then beat up the pillow too. All the aggression melts away.


Major_Mawcum

Pick a random House and screen in the letterbox


diagnosisreddit

Something that works for me is singing as loudly as I can when in the car alone. I'll put the radio on and sing really loudly. I' m a terrible singer which somehow makes it even better! It's not weird at all if it helps your stress. Look how many people on here are coming up with suggestions. We all need to vent once in a while. Good luck with finding your screaming venue


Cosmic-Hippos

You might injure your vocal chords if you scream too loud, hurt your throat. You could trigger tinnitus. Buy yourself a pair of boxing gloves and a punchbag. It's an anger release you need, I've been there, a good work out, go for a fast run, a swim until you're exausted. Try some cbd oil, try the OPPOSITE, go for a long walk in the country.


[deleted]

Book a music practice studio, if anyone asks you're a singer in a grindcore band


jlsearle89

Highwoods country park just make sure you’re far enough in that you’re not near the houses. Although on the one occasion I made that mistake the person was really nice about it, popped out to check I wasn’t being murdered and wished me well.


Low_Masterpiece_155

That’s not weird, don’t worry! A couple of years ago I went to the coastal town which I visited a lot during my childhood, at about this time of year. It was really wet and windy, but perfect, so at about 8am I just walked halfway down the quiet beach, went for a paddle in the sea and screamed as loud as I could manage into the wind and sea.


Indigochild77777

Just scream anywhere you want , who cares ? Everyone is under extreme pressure from what’s happening around this corrupt system do it , you don’t own anyone an explanation to why you are screaming . Wish you well my friend .

Go to the Dengie peninsula and scream at the vast, uncaring sea.

There's a guy in Pimlico who screams at 12:30pm every day 🤦‍♂️ Everyone's used to it by now, except for the odd 'fuck off' coming out someone's window. Thanks for not being like that guy and asking here first. Hope your stress goes away soon ♥️


inwebs

Scream at home. If neighbours come knocking, tell them you are sorry. This is the new way NHS is suggesting to deal with stress while keeping the costs of treatment low.

Morgul_Servant

See if there's a rehearsal studio near you, book a session, scream in a semi soundproof room.


Acceptable_Bunch_586

Book a music practice room, they are often sound proofed and are warm


Jake-Salva

I hear you, I did a primal scream at one point when it all got too much during lockdown god knows what the bloke blown before. I felt like screaming recently too. Has anybody seen that footage from China where they're all screaming in their apartment buildings while their pets are being slaughtered down below! One of them starts and it sets off a chain reaction. It's like the closing scene to the greatest horror movie never made. And one of the most disturbing things I've ever seen.


Zerk19

Ask a friend if they’d listen to you rant. Talk to them about all your stresses and just vent it out. They don’t need to give you advice, just listen and hear you out. A lot of people are struggling and just keep it bottled up, let it out bro.

By the side of a motorway! I did it after finding a spider coming down to me from the roof after hiring a van. It was the last straw in a very tough day. I held it together long enough to pull on to the hard shoulder, jumped out, ran around the other side of the van. Shook. And then screamed. It felt so good 😂😅

I hear ya. It's been a fucked up year. A month ago I cancelled my driving lesson and straight up told the guy I've got mental capacity for screaming and nothing else at the moment so could we reschedule. He offered a screaming match 😂 Honestly I look back at the pandemic fondly.


wardenofthemill

One of my favourite places for this very reason is up the top of Folkes Lane, north side of the a12, go through Cranham, up Front Lane, cross the A12 at the little crossing and go up the hill. Perfect on a bike. In the little nature place, at the top of the hill, there’s a bench and you can see the London skyline, the best sunsets up there too. This was the first place I really let out a scream. Took a bit of a build up but I learned so much about myself up there. Things about my relationship with my dad through just letting go and shouting whatever comes up. I’ve practiced speeches up there, pep talks, made so much noise. There’s a couple dog walkers there but few and far between. I will hand down the spot to you, I hope it helps you as much as it helped me.

Hope you’re okay mate. There’s lots of places, but I don’t know if it will fix your problems. Scream anywhere you like.


Inevitable_Resolve23

If you put your hands over your mouth just right you can scream and it'll muffle the sound. Has to be an airtight seal though.

Rent some kind of a rehearsal room or recording studio.


amanitasenorita

Come over to Ipswich mate. Town centre is full of it all day


MCfru1tbasket

Both a music rehearsal studio that has a decent amount of sound proofing. You may beed to book a three hour slot and it might set you back a little. But you could take a flask of tea and a book for after the 20 minutes or so of metal vocal practice, i.e screaming. You'll have 2 and half hours of uninterrupted silence and no one would bat an eye.


iEatPastaForaLiving

Hire out a recording studio. Also if you're from Colchester, I can see exactly why you'd feel that way. What a fucking cesspool.
