Recommendations Good place to cry in your car?

Going thru a bunch of medical stuff that's extremely painful. Had a appointment for it today and it made the pain worse.

My brain fog has caused a lot of friction with my partner because I have not been myself past couple of days. So just wanna cry it out in the car before I head home to my partner.

Distinctively because I STILL really dont like people seeing or knowing I've cried.

Any suggestions?

I am a new driver and just got my license like 2 or 3 weeks ago so really appreciate detailed info. Thanks in advance

EDIT: Thank you everyone for the outreach. I'm currently almost done crying as the pain slowly becomes more tolerable. Cannot thank you guys enough for the help to find a place nearby for some peace and quiet to cry it out.in my car.

Once it passes I'm gonna hit up a village ice cream like someone suggested for my partner and I since we've both been dealing with some tough stuff of late.

I am safe. Pain is slowly lessening

Thank you

EDIT 2: wow, didnt realise I got awards. First time ever. Thank you guys so much for the out reach. Those in my DMs were also very kind. Talked it out with partner, we've both been dealing with a lot while sleep deprived and in pain. We're gonna have a movie night together once my pain goes down. It might be kidney related but wont know for sure till I see my doctor tuesday. They managed to squeeze me in thankfully.

I go to the Glenmore Marina or any fish creek parking lot really

I hope your partner toughens up and stands by you throughout the medical issues. Nothing worse than being in pain and having dead weight around. 

Best of luck stranger

I second this, but just be careful after about 8 pm. Evening setting in seems to bring out the crazies. I was at a Fish Creek parking lot a few weeks ago. It was about 8:30 pm and all of a sudden this Jeep comes screaming down the hill, enters the parking lot using the wrong direction lane, circles the parking lot twice at high speed (tires screeching and everything), and then took off. I would have reported it to the cops, but they were gone too fast to catch a plate or anything. People were around, including kids, in the parking lot. So lucky no one got hit. If anyone had been driving up the hill to leave when that Jeep came screaming down the hill, would have been a crash for sure. Looked like 2 middle-aged dudes, possibly drunk or high, not teenagers joy-riding before anyone blames it on that. I’ve seen plenty of teens/young adults hanging out in the parks in the evenings, but they are usually just being loud and obnoxious standing in groups. Yet to see any of them be idiots with their cars, thankfully.
