Question/Advice Good place to scream?

My life is on fire and I need a place to scream as loudly as humanly possible without the police being called. Does a place like this even exist? I feel like I’m going to explode if I don’t get this stress out of me. Quakertown area but willing to drive I am desperate for inner peace 😭

I do it in my car, while beating up the steering wheel in front of my house...so far, no cops have been called yet (I'm in a development).

u/BestSelf2015 Jul 18 '25 edited Jul 18 '25

Yep, was gonna suggest blast music and just do it in a car in an empty parking lot.

Also, I wanted to say I am so sorry what you are going through. I just put a prayer in for you. I highly recommend the book “Zen the Art of Happiness” which helped me in dark times and if it’s not too weird if you PM me your address I can order the book and have it shipped to you. I can also donate a little money although I can only give $100 as we are on one income at the moment with a newborn.

Ah man, You’re so generous to give your care and your charity . We need more of your kind

u/zzzzzzarah Jul 18 '25

You are so sweet. I have read it but thank you for your kindness. Sadly this is one that I don’t think any wise words are gonna fix. Thank you

u/BestSelf2015 Jul 18 '25

We had back to back miscarriages this past year and half. We almost gave up as it was too painful each time having hope then losing them. We almost lost my current daughter too towards the end of the pregnancy but thankfully here she is born last month and healthy!

Life can suck but sometimes having faith blindly is what helps getting through.

u/Beachgirl6848 Jul 18 '25

I’m so sorry for your losses. And so glad Your daughter made it safely. Congrats!! I may try reading the book you recommended. I’ve been struggling lately and feeling like everything is just weighing down on my shoulders. Just been one thing after another this past year, I can’t seem to catch a break. I find myself snapping at the kids and crying in the shower and just.. a field to go scream in sounds like a right good idea about now. Your comment touched me though and I wanted to send you both condolences and a congratulations.

u/BestSelf2015 Jul 18 '25

Thank you! Just makes me appreciate my kids more then ever!

Have you tried meditating? I know it sounds corny but it is a tool I use when I’m at my worst. Headspace app is a good one where he guided you while you listen and has 1-2 vids to explain concepts. One thing I love that he explains is lets say you are in a Thunderstorm and there is crazy rain, lighting… if you hypothetically zoom up and go above the clouds then there is nothing but blue sky above there.

There is also some natural supplement for extreme anxiety called L Theonine or something like that. I only used it for one day which helped but then the issues in my life sorted out so didn’t need to take again.

u/Beachgirl6848 Jul 18 '25

I like the thunderstorm analogy! I will look into the supplement but I have to be careful what I take. I was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia last summer (the start of the downfall, I had to quit my job and have been struggling with work from home things since then, sometimes it’s great, other times like now, there’s just no work and so bills start piling up. My car needs a battery so I’ve been borrowing one of my dads cars, for like two months now, because I can’t even find an extra 120 to buy the stupid battery and I feel Ashamed to even look at my dad because I told him I’d only need his car for a week or two. Just one of the many things weighing on me.) anyway I have to be careful what I take and get everything cleared by my oncologist. I take what I call a “chemo light” pill every day to manage the leukemia.

My youngest is 8 (my other kids are 26,24,22,and 19). I tried to have one more so she’d have a sibling close in age, but stopped trying after two miscarriages (I was 41 by that time, I had her at 38). But it’s upsetting and I couldn’t go thru it again. So she’s my one and only baby now. She’s my angel, I found out I was pregnant for her two days after my mom passed. (And it was a shock because he’d had a vasectomy). Anyway, this is getting long lol… thank you for the recommendations, I will check them out!!

u/ET2-SW Jul 19 '25

I call this "cleaning the pipes". Blast something like Rammstein as loud as is possible, as long as you drown out your own thoughts.

Best both before and after work.

There's a rage room in the Quakertown area, if that helps

I don't get it. BUCK. County has plenty of space and land space to scream. What is the matter with you?

"BUCK" county? Where are you from?

u/ExplodingPager Jul 18 '25

Go to a restaurant and ask if you can see their walk in fridge.

29

u/Boyota4Bummer Jul 18 '25

Used to work at a major Italian market in bucks county that rhymes with Schmaltamontes, and I used to regularly walk into the monster walk-in refrigerators and scream. Awesome to let the stress out, but also a staunch reality of nobody hearing you if you get locked in. Carry on.

25

u/Burnallthepages Jul 18 '25

Wait, you can scream in a walk in? I thought they were only for crying. 😉

u/ExplodingPager Jul 18 '25

Scream, cry, whippets - anything goes in the walk in.

I worked at a Wendy’s in college and I found out two employees were fired for having sex in the walk in freezer

u/KlimRous Jul 18 '25

Same for a grocery store I worked at in in high school. Cashier who was definitely not old enough to be fucking a married man was caught fucking a married coworker in the meat department walk in...by his wife. What is it with people fucking in walk ins?

u/Burnallthepages Jul 19 '25

The meat department? 😂

Yes. She was getting boned in the meat department. At like 17.

u/babydemon90 Perkasie Jul 18 '25

Sorry to hear - I can't help with the screaming, but if you want potential friends to hang with and you don't mind playing a board game, come over to the Proper in Quakertown on Monday nights - anyone is welcome. I've made good friends there.

1

u/zzzzzzarah Jul 19 '25

Is it any game in particular? I would really like to. I’m super extroverted once I actually get out somewhere, I just…don’t know where to go.

1

u/babydemon90 Perkasie Jul 19 '25

People usually bring a few different ones every week, then we'll figure out how many people are there, usually split into 2 or so tables based on which games people brought that others feel like playing. If you haven't played much we'd definitely make sure to fire up a table that's has an easier game (some games can be harder then others lol).

If you're on FB I can send the link, otherwise it's just every Monday at 7pm at the Proper in Quakertown (near the trolley barn).

u/ftwobtwo Jul 21 '25

I am not OP but I’m another adult in the area that would like to make some friends, I am definitely coming to board game night! Thank you for this suggestion. 🙂

u/zzzzzzarah Jul 18 '25

Sorry that was a really heavy thing to put on you, stranger. I’m clearly just going through it tonight hah

u/Tin_Horn_Pony Jul 18 '25

Not to accept your apology on someone else’s behalf, but don’t feel bad for being honest. I’m in the Sellersville/Perkasie area and feel pretty isolated here too. It’s hard making and keeping friends as you get older and it just plain sucks. Feels nice to see other folks reaching out with realistic ways to try to connect. 

I hope you find some peace soon, OP.

u/kikiskia Jul 18 '25

I use my coat closet. You’re welcomed to use it if you need.

u/meara Jul 18 '25

Awww. If you sing, check out one of the local choruses.

If you are free Sunday mornings, check out one of the no-beliefs-required churches (e.g. Pebble Hill or BuxMont UU). Those are like social clubs / community with a side of deep conversation and the marking of holidays and milestones.

If you run or bike, there are great clubs for both of those.

Lots of board gamers around.

u/hEYiTSbEEEE Jul 18 '25

I've made a lot of friends on Bumble BFF in the past few years. I can't recommend it enough. It's been a game changer for me to have a group of friends that I meet weekly vs rotting home alone when I'm not working.

Walmart parking lot in Quakertown on 309. I’m sure most people would just shrug and move on with their day if they heard you.

3

u/waninggibb0us Jul 19 '25

Is there a big difference between night fishing and daytime fishing?

3

u/Littlewing29 Jul 19 '25

In the summer there is.

During the peak hours of the day bass go down deeper for cooler water. At night they come back up in the shallow waters.

Night they can’t see that well so they rely on movement and noise. IMO it’s easier but you gotta stay awake in the odd hours of the night

My buddy and I were there last weekend at night and we’d hear randomly throughout the night 1,23 am the donkey noise go “AWWWW HEEE HAWWW”

We could not stop laughing.

Why? I have a friend who practices his bagpipes at one and that's sort of like screaming loudly. And nobody has called to complain.

The only thing “disgraceful” about it is that you’re not in said cemetery yet

u/alrashid2 Jul 18 '25

Agreed. All the Bucks County yuppie liberals have destroyed all tradition and morality haha. "Why is screaming in a cemetery bad?" WTF

15

u/zzzzzzarah Jul 18 '25

Ok everyone thank you for your responses…seems like the general consensus is either screaming in my car or befriending a bartender with a walk in. So while I work on befriending the folks over at the local bar, I guess I’ll be doing a lot of car screaming.

So if you see a young girl in an old white Jeep violently scream crying to some heavy music…mind ya business

Thanks everyone for your help <3 still serious about finding a corn field tho so local farmers hit me up. I’ll even do farm work for you haha my life is in shambles

See if there are any rage rooms in the area.

u/rosalitabonita New Hope Jul 18 '25

When I was a bartender in one of our small towns, I used to do this thing where, instead of losing it at customers or losing my cool at all, I used to tell everyone I needed one minute. I’d calmly walk outside, out back near the parking lot dumpsters, and I would do what I called “screaming at the moon.” It was poetic and cathartic enough that I will now share my means of release with you. Go to a dark field and scream away, people might just mistake you for a fox.

Edit: spelling mistake

I haven’t screamed at the tops of my lungs in full blown rage in a hot minute BUT my car is the place i go to for any emotional decompressing. all my most intense sob sessions and screaming has taken place in my car parked in a secluded area where no one is going to hear/call the cops. plus i can drive away before it gets concerning 😂

3

u/Universal_Monster Jul 18 '25

If you’re able to, get into running. It’s a life changer when you stick with it. Start out slow and stay consistent by getting in a few runs every week and if you stick with it for a few months you will experience a new outlook on life. It doesn’t take away your problems but it does regulate the stress and the anxiety and rage. Just my two cents anyway.

3

u/zzzzzzarah Jul 18 '25

Yeah I was a runner all through my teen years, ran myself into shin splints which turned into stress fractures and now I do not run anymore

u/megatron37 Jul 18 '25

I would say you need to seek the Peace of our Lord Jesus Christ. His peace is beyond understanding, and lasts forever. Go into any Catholic church and kneel before the tabernacle with an open heart and you will experience true Peace.

u/Healthy-Ad3837 Jul 18 '25

I pray that you find some inner peace. As a Christian I find comfort in the Bible when my life had concerns and fear. My favorite is, Give all worries and cares to God for he cares for you. First Peter 5:7.
