Tantrum. An outburst
Responding to overwhelm.
Times up. Let it go.
I find that sometimes it is healthy to “have a fit and fall in it”. Really feeling your emotions and expressing what is going on. A strategy I have used with myself and others, (and this is not original to me) is to set a timer, for say, 10 minutes. During that 10 minutes, yell, scream, complain, kick, punch, move, do what you need to do. Obviously, a little care as to timing and setting is a good thing.
When times up, stop, take a deep breath, exhale, and shake off the remains of your tantrum. Have a good drink of water and back into your regularly scheduled programming.

Not a bad plan at all. Sometimes you need to let off the steam. Doing it with some parameters is a very good idea.
Have a fabulous day. ♥

Reminds me of a star trek episode where the folks on a planet give over to their id one night a year. I don’t do this enough.

We, life, are so tight. Finding ways to loosen the screws is good.

Yes! I try to never direct my anger at anyone else, but when I’m completely overwhelmed I do find it helpful to have a little tantrum, all on my own. Afterwards, I feel better and then can deal with others so much more effectively and kindly!

Exactly. We’re sort of trained to think of such things as self-indulgent, but I consider it a public service!
