A Scream Box is a fun and effective way to vent some of those intense emotions that build up inside like anger, fear and stress. While breathing, physical activity and talking about it are great ways to help deal difficult emotions, sometimes you just need to scream! Handled correctly, this can be a therapeutic way to vent some of that frustration. Screaming however is not always socially acceptable or appropriate. That's where the Scream Box comes in handy.The pictures in this article are of a scream box my 13 year-old daughter made.You can decorate your box however you want, but here are the basic steps:1. Gather up the following ingredients:- Cereal box (preferably an empty one).- Cardboard tube from inside a roll of paper towels.- Old newspaper or packing paper (regular paper or tissue paper can also work)- Tape (duct tape works best, but packing tape will also suffice)- Construction paper or wrapping paper to cover the cereal box- Items to decorate your box (markers, pencils, stickers, glitter or whatever you want to use)2. Pack the cardboard tube and the cereal box full of paper. This helps to muffle the sound when you scream.3. Cut a whole in the top of the box just big enough for the tube to fit in.4. Insert the tube into the hole and duct tape all the way around the area where the tube meets the box.5. Decorate your box however you would like.Using the box is also pretty simple. When you're frustrated or angry or stressed and other calm down techniques aren't working, just pull out your scream box and scream into the cardboard tube. It doesn't totally eliminate sounds, but it will muffle your screams and still let you 'get it out.'Post a picture of your scream box in the comments below so we can see what it looks like!

When I came up with the concept for this post, I started up a list of fears, went to see if I could find more, and discovered that someone has done years more work than me, and there are many more fears than I initially imagined. I mean, I know some of them. Trypophobia, for example, the fear of clusters, which, by the way, if you HAVE it, don't Google it. "Hey, guys, what kind of pictures should show up in Google Images for people who have a fear of clusters?' "How about a bunch of clusters?" "Brilliant!" Anyway, if you're looking for a fear for your character, take a look at The Phobia List, which is exactly as described on the tin. While it actually doesn't have trypophobia on it for some reason, it does have things like: - Alliumphobia - Fear of garlic. - Chronomentrophobia - Fear of clocks. - Euphobia - Fear of hearing good news. - Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia - Fear of long words. Yes, the person who named it is an asshole. - Omphalophobia - Fear of belly buttons. - Soceraphobia- Fear of parents-in-law. - Zemmiphobia - Fear of the great mole rat But those are, at their core, "common" fears, fears that have been written about and named in reference books. It doesn't quite look at irrational fears. Those can get very specific. For example, aichmophobia is the fear of needles or pointed objects, including knives. For a time, on top of a fear of needles, I was outright terrified of being accidentally impaled by someone using a knife in the kitchen. Absolutely irrational, but I spent the better part of a decade excusing myself whenever someone else was cutting anything because I could just SEE the knife slipping out of their hand and flying at my skull like a ninja star. So, since general fears have been done well beyond my means, let's have some fun with irrational ones, or ones that aren't on the list. Irrational Fears Fear of a children's TV show Fear of a specific song Fear of accidental impalement Fear of being late or early Fear of being murdered in a hotel room Fear of being stalked by internet trolls Fear of celebrities Fear of chihuahuas (or any other small dog breed) Fear of closed cupboards Fear of clowns in unlikely places Fear of conspiracy theories Fear of cracked doors Fear of crossing train tracks or standing on platforms Fear of desserts Fear of emergency or construction vehicles Fear of escaped zoo animals Fear of falling in public Fear of finding unnatural things in food Fear of flickering lightbulbs Fear of getting kicked in the face Fear of getting locked out Fear of getting lost in a big city Fear of hotel rooms or any room that's not their own Fear of knitting needles Fear of knowing other peoples' secrets Fear of manual labor Fear of mythical creatures Fear of ocean debris (seashells, seaweed or flotsam) Fear of open windows Fear of other people being paranoid Fear of oversized bags (purses, trash, etc) Fear of rain puddles Fear of rainbows Fear of reflected light spots Fear of shaved or hairless cats Fear of the internet Fear of the naked mole rat Fear of uneven terrian Fear of unpaved roads Fear that everyone is talking about you behind your back Thanks to my dear friend Kat for coming up with several of the ideas on this list. Check her out on Twitter: @_Almost_ So, dear readers, tell me, what are YOU afraid of?
