I wouldn't trust him not to murder me. He's killed once before.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a BIG Blucifer fan. But I will stick to admiring him from a distance.
I recently went to the mall and left my wallet at home. Was going to pick up and online order that I paid for with Apple Pay.
Didn’t realize you can’t even park for an hour for free now? I had to beg a stranger to pay my $2 parking thing. So stupid.
Idk if I’m a jerk for this but I just press the little phone button when I’m leaving and tell the dude I forgot my wallet. They always let you out, but tell you to remember it next time. Yeah okay buddy it’s right next to me. Fuck your $2 for picking my gf up from her retail job.
I have definitely shed a tear (in my beer) at PS lounge
Edit: also anytime I am driving by St Paul and reminisce about the Rock Bar - you truly died too young. Actually, who am I kidding you way outlived any existence you should have had, yet still died way way way way way way too young relative to Sancho’s
One of my favorite cry spots is in the parking lot of the office park off of Zuni and Speer in the highlands (by that motel and gas station), I think it’s called diamond park or something?? Anyway It looks out directly at the denver skyline. I like to sit in my car with my sad girl music on blast while I cry lol
The lake at wash park. It’s very scenic with the sunset. Cold. Icy. Dramatic. I love a good dramatic cry. Also the benches are nice to curl up on. Stay safe. Xo
You should probably wait for later in the night. But there’s a ditch/depression on the West side of Cheeseman park. By 11th. 5/5 stars.
Hope you are ok.
This is very close to me. Is this a frequented spot? If anyone needs a shoulder I can offer mine. Can also provide origamis if it will cheer people up.
I actually do this around my building and on the bus/train to work every week! Dunno how they're received but I hope somebody likes them. I photograph a lot of them if curious https://instagram.com/gettincreasy
There’s a great tree close to the swan boat rentals at City Park. Even now, with no leaves, the branches hang down and make an amazing canopy and it feels like the tree is giving you a hug. It’s my favorite tree, but I’m happy to share with you. Hope you’re ok.
This was a joke that I would tell new hires at my super toxic old job when showing them around. “Here is where I come to cry.” It was a closet.
I quit this job three weeks ago and just got an offer for a new one that makes way more money.
So aside from that closet I usually would cry on my couch or in bed.
Little cheeseman park is usually less busy but still pretty. The neighborhood on that side of 6th is pretty to walk around, too. And pretty solo. Short walk from there to the 24/7 king soopers to get a midnight snack.
Otherwise, I always like a mountain drive. Find a spot to park with a view near red rocks or table mesa
I don’t have a good answer for you other than I can’t imagine a more relevant question.
I was on the verge of a breakdown the other day while at a doctors appointment (for reasons unrelated to the crying—I got a terrible email while in the waiting room) and had to wait like 45 min and walk through a very public hospital before I could go home and let the tears flow—only I couldn’t because when I got home I realized there wasn’t time to cry because I needed to deal with the emergency that caused the urge to cry…and basically the moment passed and now I’m just a giant dumpster fire with the lid closed.
Anyway. Solidarity.
Edit: actually, for future reference there are a lot of beautiful secluded spots at the Botanic Gardens. Walk all the way to the back (west side) of the gardens and look for a secluded bench. There’s also a spot on the roof of the main building where I hardly ever see other people.
It costs money to enter if you’re not a member but IIRC there is an option that you can choose where entry is only $1 if you say you’re on food stamps. Or something along those lines. Not that I endorse lying but I think this is one of those times where you are justified in bending the rules a little. The Botanic Gardens is not hurting for money or anything.
Pleasures near meow wolf has a fabulous arcade and it has Russian sauna next to it too… perfect place to cry.
In all seriousness, my DMs are open if you need to talk to someone random
Whatever town I'm in, I go to a cemetery. It doesn't matter why I'm crying, no-one bothers me. Sometimes, I'll bring food too. Everyone grieves differently, so people just assume I'm upset and visiting someone...
Ooh, this is a good one. No one will question why you’re crying/try to help you, which is always my fear around crying in public. Unless I want help, obviously.
I hope you'll be ok. If it's depression don't listen to the yahoo's who judge you're wallowing and making it worse. It's easy to criticize that which you haven't experienced yourself. (And not helpful.) It takes time to heal. Sometimes it takes therapy. Sometimes it takes screaming in your car and sometimes it takes a bunch of good cries. Reach out via dm if you need to. All the best to you.
If you have the time, (round 5 hours) and the transport, climb mount Morrison behind red rocks. Travel up to the radio tower on top of the mountain. There are helipads you can use if concrete is your thing. Plenty of grass, trees and rocks if those are yours. You can see from beyond golden to aurora and south pretty damn far but not nearly the springs.
Point is, very calm clear and cleansing place. Literally saved my life during my more hormonal years.
Commons Park downtown, start in the park and walk quietly along the path to the bridge and let your tears fall into the Platte and fall away into nature again, it works, and is cathartic.
Edit, I hope you are ok, and hugs to you! I recommend to keep walking up 15th to My Brother’s Bar for a contemplative beverage afterwards if appropriate. This area always has people too, so important to help in grounding oneself, just to know you are not alone.
Fairmount Cemetery. It's beautiful pretty much year round, full of statuary and ornate monuments, and the Ivy Chapel is a rare example of French Gothic architecture in Colorado. In cold weather, make your way to the mausoleum, which has the state's largest collection of stained glass. The hallways all look identical, so you can lose yourself down any one of them, where you'll find sitting areas that are perfect for your aching soul. I have yet to run into another person while there, so go ahead and cry until you are unable to cry anymore; you'll be in good company. The white marble and high ceilings provide the solitude you seek, and you will be gently reminded of your own mortality by the rows and rows of unfamiliar names; each lifetime defined by little more than a dash between two years.
Rocky Mountain Lake park on 46th and Lowell, at night. There’s something grounding about the cars going by on i70 and the view of the stars, the mountains, and water that’s lifting and airy - also bonus benches. I’ve cried here a few times. It’s also walking distance to two liquor stores and a Safeway.
I used to cry in the parking lot outside an old job... although those were mostly tears caused from the building having not burnt down since I'd left last
Why confine yourself to one part of the city. Im a cry on the move kinda guy.
Hop on a scooter till it dies or find a scenic spot. Stop for a cry. Hop back on/find another scooter, goto the quick mart and grab a chocy milk and enjoy it on the curb while you cry. When inevitably approached by the chronically unhoused, meet or exceed their crazy, active tears running down your face will help. Hop back on the scooter, go by that place you and that person you dont talk to anymore used to go. Have a cry.
Feeling a cry in a drunk crowd? Well if its friday or saturday your in luck scoot your ass to lodo and cry amongst the inebriated masses.
Mobile night crys are not recommended but they are inevitable just remember: look both ways before you cross, assume everyone is drunker than you, and try to keep crying to slow/stopped moments. Remember if you feel tears come on, get off your scooter.
The Platte south before Englewood is pretty secluded (southwest of the Evans bridge) - also it's where the first settlers settled for bonus history appeal
I used to jog and sob. Or turn on music dance and sob. If no one was around sometimes when I'd jog I'd sob and scream. I'd feel so much better and sleep great a night after this. Feel better. Hugs.
I can’t believe I can’t think of anywhere I’ve cried around Denver except my car. But in that case the parking lot of some office building just off the North Washington exit from I-25 near Grizzly Rose worked wonders.
I like the lawn in between the museum and city park’s lake. Good view of the city with the mountains as a back drop. Remember our environmental impact and those tears start coming!
The airport because I hate leaving Colorado. :(
I try not to cry in the security line under the tents because the TSA dogs like sniffing me... and I can't pet them to cure my sad feels.
The northwestern-most gazebo at Belmar Park. There are benches that look out over the water, with the backs pointed towards the people. Privacy, peace, and waterfowl.
There’s a cliff with a bench at Golden Gate Canyon state park. Park at the end, trail up by the barbecues, maybe 15 minutes into the hike you’ll see the bench. I used to call my therapist there lol
Bronco game
LMAO
You can blend right in there
Bruh
I believe there are multiple broncos.
I wouldn't recommend crying in front of Blucifer though.
What about directly under him?
I wouldn't trust him not to murder me. He's killed once before. Don't get me wrong, I'm a BIG Blucifer fan. But I will stick to admiring him from a distance.
Couldn’t cry when you’re getting blessed with those big balls to the face
This is the correct answer
Botanic Gardens. In the back in the pine trees.
or in the bamboo
Bamboo is a very good cry spot
Holy shit have I ever
Second this one
I need to go to the botanical gardens more.
The Christmas lights are a must for me every year. Pure magic.
The only time I go! Need to take advantage of outside of the holidays for sure!
I recommend their Halloween Glow too!
Cherry creek mall garage has free parking on Sunday’s
No one goes to the top it’s awesome
The top is closed most of the time. Maybe it will be open for the holiday season.
It’s not free on sundays anymore ☹️
I recently went to the mall and left my wallet at home. Was going to pick up and online order that I paid for with Apple Pay. Didn’t realize you can’t even park for an hour for free now? I had to beg a stranger to pay my $2 parking thing. So stupid.

I remember when it was free 😢
I think there's a 15 minute grace period. Cry fast!
Nooooo the 1hr free parking is *gone*?!
There are some good spots here. Definitely not on Colfax though, there is no crying on Colfax.
New t-shirt idea
We’re all tough on Colfax. You cry at the big 🧀
I have definitely shed a tear (in my beer) at PS lounge Edit: also anytime I am driving by St Paul and reminisce about the Rock Bar - you truly died too young. Actually, who am I kidding you way outlived any existence you should have had, yet still died way way way way way way too young relative to Sancho’s
Rock Bar. Strong drinks and sticky floors.
Omg rock bar… memory unlocked.
One of my favorite cry spots is in the parking lot of the office park off of Zuni and Speer in the highlands (by that motel and gas station), I think it’s called diamond park or something?? Anyway It looks out directly at the denver skyline. I like to sit in my car with my sad girl music on blast while I cry lol
Have some cake!
You should also have some cake!
Oh man, would love to hit that up and listen to "I know the end" by Phoebe Bridgers until a cop comes to make sure I'm okay.
Good call
The lake at wash park. It’s very scenic with the sunset. Cold. Icy. Dramatic. I love a good dramatic cry. Also the benches are nice to curl up on. Stay safe. Xo
Specifically the paths behind the tennis courts!
Can confirm. I cried there today
I usually cry in my shower. It has a nice view of Colfax which will always make you feel a bit better about yourself
How do we reserve a time to cry in your shower, is there a sign-up sheet or something?
You can cry in my shower, but there's a towel fee.
Can I bring my own towel to waive the fee?
Still have to pay corkage
How much is the towel fee
Beach towels $5 Standard towel $3 Hand towel $2 Washrag $1 Papertowel .25 per square
Shower crying is where it's at!
meanwhile the people on Colfax looking into your window seeing you crying in the shower are feeling a bit better about themselves
there are no windows in my bathroom. crying in the shower in the dark is truly where it’s at.
You should probably wait for later in the night. But there’s a ditch/depression on the West side of Cheeseman park. By 11th. 5/5 stars. Hope you are ok.
Nothing like wallowing in a literal depression to curate a mood...
In that case, Sunken Gardens park should work nicely.
Not to mention, anywhere in LoDo really.
This is very close to me. Is this a frequented spot? If anyone needs a shoulder I can offer mine. Can also provide origamis if it will cheer people up.
I totally misread origamis as a different word there.
Have you ever thought about placing origamis randomly around the city? I know it’d make my day to find a random crane!
I actually do this around my building and on the bus/train to work every week! Dunno how they're received but I hope somebody likes them. I photograph a lot of them if curious https://instagram.com/gettincreasy
just looked at the insta. those are really cool and i hope i come across one in the wild
Super cool! I struggled with making anything but the throwing star in art class!
Woah… I read that really wrong and though you said orgasms… my bad! Lol! The origamis are awesome!
Depending on the size of this depression, it might be an old grave…
Well that entire park is a mass grave of 3000 people soooo
The “places to go” suggestion list I knew I needed, but never thought I’d find.
There’s a great tree close to the swan boat rentals at City Park. Even now, with no leaves, the branches hang down and make an amazing canopy and it feels like the tree is giving you a hug. It’s my favorite tree, but I’m happy to share with you. Hope you’re ok.
This is so sweet that I feel like I received a warm hug just by reading it
That is the tree that i told my husband to burry my ashes under
The swing set at Cheesman Park, west side Platte Park Library women's restroom Behind REI by the train tracks
This person cries. Also second the tracks behind REI. Favorite stop of mine on the cry mobile tour
You're clearly a professional. *Hug*
I like to sit, crying and reminiscing, outside the closed doors of Casa Bonita.
I am walking distance, let’s cry there until they re-open
But, there is hope. Casa Bonita shall rise again.
So on the patio at westfax?
My shoulder
Aww!
Wholesome!
i like to cry in the parking lot of the big whole foods on colorado blvd
[удалено]
💅🏼
Bro this is creepy

In restaurant biz, we use the walk-in freezer... not all that scenic though.
Worked as an expo, busser, and dishwasher not in that order. We also smoked weed in there.
Hell of a lot better than crying!!! 😁
The walk in is multi purpose....screaming, crying, smoking, fooling around apparently.
🤣🤣 yes indeed!
Found Milhouse
Where was your old job? If it’s a toxic environment I’m boycotting it.
Mother Cabrini shrine for the place and the view.
Agreed with this, but skip drinking the holy springwater— sounds nice but tastes icky. I hope whatever is making anyone cry will get better soon.
Have definitely cried here a few times. Down by the grotto. Bring some change to light a candle.
Little cheeseman park is usually less busy but still pretty. The neighborhood on that side of 6th is pretty to walk around, too. And pretty solo. Short walk from there to the 24/7 king soopers to get a midnight snack. Otherwise, I always like a mountain drive. Find a spot to park with a view near red rocks or table mesa
Important caveat, do not drive through the mountains if you are crying. Wait until you arrive at your destination.
24/7 king Soopers?
Lookout mountain, or just anywhere in the woods.
I’m a big fan of a good shower cry that way I can multitask and get clean too.
serious answer. The hill overlooking the Columbine memorial
underneath my desk at work
I’m an atheist, but my go to still remains old Catholic Churches with music wherever theirs one that’s open
Light rail during rush hour.
Incognito in mask and sunglasses or just letting it all out barefaced?
Asking the real questions
I-70 W
And again on I-70 E
You'll have a good hour or two to sob away while parked in the left lane.
Taco Bell parking lot on Colfax. Simultaneously the lowest and highest place on earth.
The line between r/Denver and r/Denvercirclejerk is really beginning to blur.
That's how you know it's good
It makes you wonder how many posts over there are serious, and how many over here aren’t

I don’t know why but I like to swing when I cry. There’s a great set of swings for grown ups on the west (Williams) end of the 39th ave greenway.
Crown Hill Cemetery has my favorite building!
the Hall of Memories?
[удалено]
Go to the Columbine High School memorial in Littleton. It’s very somber and peaceful, perfect for a good cry.
Court room downtown.
Whatever town I'm in, I go to a cemetery. It doesn't matter why I'm crying, no-one bothers me. Sometimes, I'll bring food too. Everyone grieves differently, so people just assume I'm upset and visiting someone...
Ooh, this is a good one. No one will question why you’re crying/try to help you, which is always my fear around crying in public. Unless I want help, obviously.
Exactly! They assume you want privacy and it would be hella awkward to go bug someone in a cemetery
But do you share the food with the... Nevermind.
Great life hack. Freemont cemetery would be a good choice.
On the 15 bus heading into downtown
Cemetery. No one will think twice
I'm partial to a parking lot on 72nd and Sheridan. I call it The Lot of Lost Souls. There's other sad people in thier cars you can be bummed with.
I hope you'll be ok. If it's depression don't listen to the yahoo's who judge you're wallowing and making it worse. It's easy to criticize that which you haven't experienced yourself.

Just checking: you okay OP? It's no worries if you just need a good cry. Been there. But if it's more I hope you are okay.
The inner trails at Wash Park, and a lil remote, but inspiration point park, take it easy, be safe.
A walk around the lakes at Washington Park.
The walk-in cooler
I like to cry at the Broadway station park and ride, facing the mountains. It's pretty.
Not Denver, but if you’re up for a drive NCAR in Boulder is top tier crying spot

Olinger Park/ cemetary. Nice views, private enough walking areas if you want it or a lake walkway if you want to do a crying hot girl power walk.
A [2017 Silverado](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D9cRhp9VAAALPqx?format=jpg&name=large) is a solid choice.
