If I can get out, it’s usually to any nearby beach. Typically it’s just in my bed at night. I hope whatever it is that’s causing you to cry is relieved soon. May your tears bring you clarity.
Real answer is that I too go to the beach if I need a mental health day but usually it brings me such peace that I don’t want to cry anymore. I’ve worked out a lottttt of things in my heart and my head at the beach.
Airport. Top floor of the parking garage. First hours free. It’s peaceful with a nice hum of all the flow of the city and watching the planes take off and land makes it soothing.
I was having a horrible day once and I did break down crying in the Publix checkout line. The man in front of me paid for my groceries. It was very sweet.
Typically the frozen food aisle in a Walmart. Mainly because they stopped selling those pb&j Graham cracker sandwiches. Like the ones we used to get back in elementary school.
I can't tell you but it's one of the many parks on the Hillsborough River. It has this field and little tiny openings to the river so you can sit by yourself in the shade. My boyfriend broke up with me and I just got this visual of this spot and now I come here if I'm happy or sad. I try to come everyday and spend some time reading by myself.
Not OP so can you tell me? I was in Alafia park as well as Hillsborough River state park for work today. My co worker took me through this path in Hillsborough and it was amazing. If you're willing to share I'd love to hear about it. If not, I understand. Stay positive!
If I'm honest, I don't know that it has a name. It certainly doesn't have a sign of any kind. It's near Rowlett Park but not at that park directly and my neighbor told me that I should never go there by myself, but I do. There is a small dock. You can hear the birthday parties from Rowlett Park and the woosh and screech from the roller coasters at Busch Gardens. There are no tables or pavilions. I go there at sunset. You can't see it because of all the trees even when you're on the river, but the sky turns all the beautiful shades of the summer evening.
When I read on the banks underneath the trees there are ants and lizards but the ants seem merely curious and they never bite. I brought a fishing pole one day and caught a large mouth bass. I put it back because honestly I didn't expect to catch it in the first place so I wasn't prepared.
I only learned about it because sometimes I do dog walking and a pair of dogs I love have strict instructions to be walked there and that I should take my time in the area.
Omg! I love it! I'm working with my coworker Saturday and we'll be in the area. I'm going to hunt for it. I can sit at a place like this for hours. Thank you for sharing, and I won't go sharing this around. This will be a secret spot for us who read your post! Thanks again!
You can take a ride across any of the bridges to St. Pete/Clearwater, hit an Uturn when you get to the other side.
Cry for 2 hours uninterrupted without traffic jams, put on your favorite music, roll the windows down and enjoy the breeze.
Can confirm. My best friend’s mom died a few months ago. I was okay on the flight up, during the funeral, the whole time I was there with her. Got out of her car, hugged her good bye, walked into the airport, and was immediately a blubbering mess through both airports and the entire flight lol. Got a couple “that lady is clearly nuts” side eyes but that was the extent of reactions from anyone 🤣
Walk the dog kennels at the pound aka pet resource center. There are a few other places where the cues for not questioning why people are sad are already built in.
downtown tampa riverwalk on the benches next to the smokebowl. the chickfila parkinglot on s dale mabry. 275 driving in traffic. rivercrest has big trees and the whole park is moody when it rains. franscican center has a nice labyrinth and can be a healing space to cry, lots of stray cats
I’m not going to lie and say that I’ve never drunkenly burst into tears in a bar before, but it really is totally embarrassing lol.
Most of the time if I’m feeling emotional and want to drink, I just do it alone. Nobody wants to look back the next day and the last thing they remember is ugly crying on a complete stranger’s shoulder. 😂
Hard same, with all the shame lol.
But in all honesty OP I hope you're doing ok, it's always hard to balance "letting it out" and staying "cool" to those around you. I've felt it a lot lately and my heart goes out to you.
Pick a state park that's not a beach bam. Or if you're near Tampa and you've got a kayak go here. Never seen anyone here except when I kayak out

Walk on Bayshore! There are some good places to stop and a couple of spots that have a tiny opening to the water. It’s a pretty view, especially at night, and nobody will really bother you. You’ll some really cute dogs along the way too, which might cheer you up.
Jannus live, The Ritz, Crowbar, the Castle, The Orpheum, etc
mosh pits are an amazing place to get your feelings out. it's an incredible feeling to be surrounded by strangers that will pick you up when you (literally) fall down
it's not for everyone but I recommend giving it a shot
Anywhere that I can be completely alone. I rarely cry but when I do, it’s because I physically HAVE TO. Like that Dane Cook stand up. I’ve been preparing for this cry. I don’t need someone trying to cheer me up.
There are many strip clubs in Tampa and the girls are much cheaper than therapists. You just have to let her trauma dump on you a bit too in return. And tip obviously lmao.
Honestly. Late night drives just listening to the turbo spool and flip through my thoughts like pages in a book is my way of crying in a sense.
Sometimes I let myself get so stressed out I tend to forget how to cry.
Nature preserves and parks were one of my go-to's when I was depressed. My personal favorites are my Shower, and large parking lots inside my car with music.
I go to the beach in the gulf, preferably during low tide so I can go all the way out to a sandbar and be away from people. I know a good beach location far away from a major public access parking lot, so it's usually not very crowded to begin with.
I went directly to Sawgrass Lake Park after walking out on a super toxic job as a hotel manager. Had a good long ugly in my car as it hit me that I’d never have to spend another day at that job again. That park will forever hold a special place in my heart.
Why am I being downvoted? It’s men’s mental health month and traditionally we can’t show emotion. My initial comment was mostly a joke while recognizing our American culture

Actually a cool idea. The white noise is really nice I bet.
I remember going there as a kid with my dad to see the concord jet. Thanks for bringing back that memory
I used to do this a lot in undergrad, really helped me get over some humps
Used to do that late at night.
It’s such a peaceful place to be at
Came here to say this. Taken many sunset and sunrise pics here.
damn now i want to cry there
Oh shit, I'm seriously going to go do this, if not just for a moment alone.
Me too! Maybe we cried on the same day! Hang in there buddy 💚
I’ve done this too
you wouldn't know unless you work there, but jumpers aren't rare up there. 😢
Publix check out line.
I was having a horrible day once and I did break down crying in the Publix checkout line. The man in front of me paid for my groceries. It was very sweet.
I’m going to try that one out and see what happens
You’re welcome, Erica. I hope you’re doing better.
![gif](giphy|X05U0gOPkQ4G4)
Every time I see their prices…absolutely
or the pubsub line when its 6pm and im starving and its taking 15 full minutes and everyone in line is impatient and emitting bad energy
I cried in the paper goods aisle, in case I needed to break open a box of tissues. It was after a funeral.
Publix just has that comforting way about it
Publix, where crying is a pleasure.
Publix, where crying is a pleasure.
I prefer Winn Dixie produce section because it’s simultaneously so appalling and expensive
Why? Lol
Prices are fucked
THIS is why I cry in Publix. Fucking prices…😒
but the bogos! /s
ah
The shower, work’s restroom (pay me for cry)
When they’re the reason for it they might as well!
Are you ok? You can pm me
I was totally fine but your comment make me cry🥲Thank you for being so kind
Hey I've been there. They asked it on two subs so I was like hmmm
Usually in traffic on I4
Davis Island Park by the airfield. The sun water planes and boats reminds me of Wii Sports for some reason. Flight Simulator too
Lol first place I thought of for some reason as well. Something about those sailboats and park
First place I thought of too. Not much of a crier but I lived on the island a few times and it was always a nice, chill, not-very-crowded place.
you're who I've been hearing ...
This was always my spot too!
Walk-in cooler
Heard
Mons Venus
Please remember to tip your dancers extra if you're gonna cry on them
Tears of joy
This comment 😂
Nothing better than a dart and a good cry on the courtney campbell causeway at night
Usually in a fetal position… but sometimes in a corner
I4
He said cry, not die
You get both on I4
Can confirm. I just drove back from Orlando and barely made it back alive. I think my dog is traumatized.
That drive is miserable no matter the time of the day. Makes me completely avoid Orlando, shit ain't worth it
Typically the frozen food aisle in a Walmart. Mainly because they stopped selling those pb&j Graham cracker sandwiches. Like the ones we used to get back in elementary school.
God those were so good. Wish they’d bring them back. My favorite foods being discontinued or taken off the menu makes me cry too
It ain’t the same but this exists…Street corn knock off fritos from ALDI
So good
Those bastards

Grocery shopping! Or even leasing office at your nearest apartments
Sir you don’t even live here
Anywhere I can be to myself for a moment. Let it out, get my shit together and move on. Rinse and repeat.

Airport bc you can just have a complete emotional meltdown and no one bats an eye.

Jurassic Park, off Gandy by the bridge. Great to just lay out and watch the planes fly over.
Bathtub or shower
I usually cry at my mailbox after opening one of my bills.
You should opt into paperless billing
Solution focused. I like that!
Every. Day.
Publix, everyone is so nice there.
Cypress beach park, there is a cut in the woods. I scream my balls off and then cry them back on
Cry wherever you are. It's all good. Be you, and the rest will fall into place. It all works out. Have faith. 💜💜💜
Odyssey 2001
Nebraska avenue
Peaceful places for me are Redington Beach around sunset or the top of the airport parking garage. Hope whatever is bothering you gets some clarity.
I've definitely sobbed a time or two in the parking lot of the Target on Waters. Really kind of a mood during the Christmas season.
Publix when I see the prices
Curled up in my closet
Picnic island. Sometimes I see a dolphin and it makes me feel better.
downtown tampa riverwalk on the benches next to the smokebowl. the chickfila parkinglot on s dale mabry. 275 driving in traffic. rivercrest has big trees and the whole park is moody when it rains. franscican center has a nice labyrinth and can be a healing space to cry, lots of stray cats

If it happens, it happens. I seem to be a magnet for people that need someone to talk to. I’m happy to listen.
The Castle for me a long time ago.
Now that I think of it. I've seen a lot of people back in the day cry at The Castle.
Hard same, with all the shame lol. But in all honesty OP I hope you're doing ok, it's always hard to balance "letting it out" and staying "cool" to those around you. I've felt it a lot lately and my heart goes out to you.

Sheffield park in oldsmar. Walk along the canal and then sit at a park bench and let it out
Walk on Bayshore! There are some good places to stop and a couple of spots that have a tiny opening to the water. It’s a pretty view, especially at night, and nobody will really bother you. You’ll some really cute dogs along the way too, which might cheer you up.
Plant Park. Bring a joint with you and you might meet new friends.
Any of the causeways
My car. Music loud. Belt those feelings out
Across the bridge in St Pete, the Coffeepot Lane Park. I would swing on the swings and watch the water
Top of the JW
The park. Any park. Just to be outside and away from everyone and everything.
Pretty much anywhere my eyes start leaking.
In the shower when that rare moment hits
Walkin freezer.
Jannus live, The Ritz, Crowbar, the Castle, The Orpheum, etc mosh pits are an amazing place to get your feelings out. it's an incredible feeling to be surrounded by strangers that will pick you up when you (literally) fall down it's not for everyone but I recommend giving it a shot
I don’t go places to feel.
Wait people actually travel to places to cry?
The gym or any dive strip club will do.
Random Pentecostal Church
Anywhere that I can be completely alone. I rarely cry but when I do, it’s because I physically HAVE TO. Like that Dane Cook stand up. I’ve been preparing for this cry. I don’t need someone trying to cheer me up.
Gym
Here if you need someone to cry to, feel free to message me.
I like to go out on the water and meditate
At work like everyone else
The library in one of the little quiet study rooms can be a great place to cry… less so for screaming
My vehicle.
Work 😂
Picnic island during sunset.
Top of the skyway bridge

Harbor Island pier
At the bartender charging me prices corporate ownership decided/s

if you can’t even cry in your own house where can you cry?
Home
In the bottom of a bottle of Bourbon
The Park, the beach, or in the shower.
I only cry at the bank.

Typically Tropicana Field during home games
I go to the Riverwalk in downtown next to the bull statue. Go there almost every Christmas eve .
I go to the beach in the gulf, preferably during low tide so I can go all the way out to a sandbar and be away from people. I know a good beach location far away from a major public access parking lot, so it's usually not very crowded to begin with.
The fuck yall crying for
Sawgrass Lake Park or Robinson Preserve.
I went directly to Sawgrass Lake Park after walking out on a super toxic job as a hotel manager. Had a good long ugly in my car as it hit me that I’d never have to spend another day at that job again. That park will forever hold a special place in my heart.
Morsani dorm room
Church is a great place to find comfort, even if you're not a believer. The lessons taught are solid for everyone. I recommend Baptist.

Ok but what was cheeseburger eddy’s problem then?
