SCREAM!!!
Who has never stated, “that makes me want to scream!”? Or, “I could just scream!”? These, and similar, comments are extremely common. What is not so prevalent is the scream itself. Screaming is not just a great means of venting, it is also healthy. It releases pent-up energies, hostilities, and frustrations. Negativity is thrown out and replaced by positive emotions.
If you can find an isolated area go and scream to your heart’s content. If you must remain within earshot, scream silently. That works too. Never scream at a person directly. That could result in a screamfest which may not have the desired effect. Trust me…been there, done that.
No-one needs to know that you have screamed to the heavens, or why. This is not an exercise in self-pity, or a sign of weakness. In reality it boosts your self-confidence and builds your personal strength.
Go ahead…give it try. What have you got to lose?

Laughter is an egfective release as well. But we don’t always have something to laugh about. So laugh or scream and feel better.

The scream, or war cry, has been known for millennia. The Greek phalanxes used it against the Persians. The Scots used the scream of the Highland Charge against just about everyone.
It is not only a release, but a joining, when used in concert with others. A bonding of sorts.
Just a bit of stupid trivea. I remember some 60 years back an old saying.
You scream
I scream
We all scream for Icecream.
Waylander, you are correct. The war scream was also used to intimidate the enemy. But I am basically referring to the screm that is a release. Love, Jackie
Like the scream when you slam your finger in the door!!!
Now that doesn’t stop the pain
But helps to make you feel better.
i scream you scream we all scream! hee hee!
I often want to scream and scream my heart out, but I would have to get in the car and drive away from suburbia or I would probably find the cops on my doorstep and a green car pulling up at my house lol xoxox
I try to incorporate a melody into screaming, I know it’s bad for the voice but sure as hell is great for the heart!!!
