I go outside and scream at the universe.

[hunter]

Is this therapeutic?

It disturbs our dogs.

1. Yes. I've screamed. It releases some pain and anger.

2. True story.

When I was in basic training, about two weeks in, they carted us all off to "church" somewhere on base. I don't remember if we had a choice, probably not, because we had no choice in anything during that time.

The preacher/minister/whatever took us outside in the back after the TIs left, and he told us to scream at the sky as loudly as we could. OF course, we were nonplussed.

But he encouraged us, pointed out what we were enduring lol, and eventually most of our flight screamed at the sky.

He must have been a pretty cool fella.

3. I've done that

though it's usually in the house when no one else is home.

And, yes, it is therapeutic, at least according to studies I've seen. Blowing off steam is a plus.

4. It works for me. Sometimes after I scream

And carry on, I either laugh or cry but I do feel better. I usually scream into my pillow as I don’t want my kitty to be upset, too.

5. Kind of on-topic

Scream, by Collective Soul

Push me to the left hold me to the right
I never know where to go
Burning that trail to the promised land
You're moving on out of control
Well I don't want to be some puppet on a string
And I don't want to learn of things you can't explain
And I don't want to have your views on everything
I just want to scream
Scream about hurting
Scream about mercy
Scream about something
Scream about nothing
Drop me in the hills, leave me in the plains
Give me some room to breathe
The words you spill, the moves you make
I find them all hard to believe
Well I don't want to be statistic industry
And I don't want to give when all you share is greed
And I don't want to have one more enemy
I just want to scream
There you go with all your might
Giving promises by decree
Well God is great and God is good
But God you'll never be
Well I don't want to be in your hospitality
And I don't want to live in false reality
See I'm the one obsessed with truth and honesty
I just want to scream
