Yesterday, in my online Coping and Healing groups, I invited people to observe International Moment of Frustration Scream Day by muting themselves and screaming for some moments. During that exercise, I did some silent screaming because I thought actual screaming might damage my voice. Several people reported that giving themselves permission to be screaming — especially with the screaming news headlines this week — was cathartic and helpful.
Is there screaming in my images for today?

I assume there won’t be any screaming when I go to my first chiropractor appointment ever on Friday the 13th.
Speaking of screaming, sometimes I say to my husband Michael, “It’s all over but the screaming” — a misquote of “It’s all over but the crying.”
Let’s see what I find on YouTube when I search for “screaming.”
This weekend I’ll be thinking about that “screaming in the mic” short as I try to figure out how to be better at screaming into the void on Tik Tok. Here’s another “screaming” video on YouTube:

Screaming THANKS to all who help me do daily blogging instead of daily SCREAMING, including YOU!
when frustrated, I mutter to myself and luckily I get to scream at recess with my kinder, we all scream with glee
Thanks for sharing the frustrations and the glee, beth!
A good scream every so often is always helpful! Good luck at your appointment today!
Thanks for another helpful comment, Carol Anne!
I off-the-top-of-my-head unleash utterances that in turn frustrate my dear wife Karen, I’m sorry to say, Ann, because I’m of course sorry for that immediately.
Thanks for all your off-the-top-of-your-head utterances here, Mark.
I find it interesting gulls, who are famous for their screaming, are represented here by one placid gull. I wonder if it is screaming inside? Or if it is just enjoying the view.
I wonder about creatures screaming inside too, Barbara.
I’ve noticed that sometimes when people share something they find really funny they say “I am screaming” or “This made me scream!” It’s a fun reminder that joy can be just as intense as frustration or anger, and releasing it can be cathartic too.
Thanks for all your fun and cathartic reminders, my friend.
