Cry your eyes out
Scream your head off
Shout the house down
Scream blue murder (ok, perhaps you can, if you said "Blue Murder!'" in a very loud high pitched voice)
Puke your guts up (sorry for lowering the tone)

Any others?

Break your heart
Walk your feet off
Swear black and blue
Talk until you are blue in the face
Work 24/7
Eat a horse
Drink like a fish

Smile 'till your face cracks.
Run your legs off.
Run yourself into the ground.

People have torn their hair out. It is possible but painful and disturbing.

Cough your heart up.
Talk the hind leg off a donkey.
Give someone a hand.
Lend an ear.
Be two faced.

Be afraid just because something is e.g. not in stock (or similar) grin

I always get the giggles when people say "I'm afraid that was the last one" ... I want to say "Don't be afraid, it will be fine".

Not quite on topic above, so here are a few more:

Have a fit (at will).
Suck it up.
Swear blind.

Laugh fit to bust
Turn the air blue
Cough up a lung
Run yourself ragged
Turn into a green-eyed monster
Make pie in the sky

After watching Mary Poppins, my very young daughter at the time asked "Can you really die laughing"

Eat for England
Hate with all your heart
Turn to stone
But can you
Love to death??

Split your head open (the description of every head injury when I was young)
Work your socks off, or your fingers to the bone.
Sneeze your head off.
