Have you ever totally lost it? You’re having a bad day, a bad week…a bad everything… You reach a boiling point. Something triggers you and you finally just flip out. Maybe you kick and scream. Yell at the top of your lungs. Punch things. Throw stuff. You’re hot and flushed. Your ears are ringing. You see red. And while this behavior may be frowned upon in polite society, as long as nobody gets hurt, you may find that once it’s over, you secretly feel relieved. Maybe even a sense of liberated invigoration.

tan·trum
ˈtantrəm/

Described in various dictionaries as uncontrollable, an outburst, angry behavior, disobedience, violence, rage, frustration, etc…
