Never threw anything harder than a newspaper in anger or purposefully...especially consumer electronic items.

Caffeine withdrawals man I can empathize. Usually it’s a massive headache for me.
Work, gym, food, household stuff such as cleaning, cooking, watering the plants, shopping etc. When you live alone literally everything is on you to do so you’re not depending on others but at the same time it’s you who’s at the centre of everything in life.
Thanks. I'm just glad my iPhone is good.
And frankly couldn't this be considered somewhat of a drop test? lol
I can say that after slamming my personal iPhone X hard on hardwood backside down with the silicone case, my personal iPhone X did not break although your mileage may vary haha. YMMW.
And btw I'm back to my usual caffeine. I broke on day 7, in the evening, and stayed up all night after drinking a bunch caffeinated drink.
But yeah I'm back on it now, back on my caffeine habit. Maybe I'll be able to quit another time in the future. I hope so.
Man I’ve tried quitting. Thankfully cafeine doesn’t have the negative consequences as drugs or alcohol lol. Maybe that’s why it’s so hard to quit.
It’s just annoying when I don’t drink enough I feel the effects in the form of a headache. Usually the headaches come after two straight days of low caffeine drinking.

No one is really in a position to judge you over this OP. You slammed a phone—you didn’t hit a person.
There are certainly ways one can better handle stress, but it takes awhile and sometimes life experience. Some of those who haven’t reported extreme stress often are simply not in as stressful circumstances.

This is the internet. We are in the perfect position to judge anyone and anything!
Now the real question is: if your phone had been destroyed would you have used your AppleCare+ accidental damage protection?
As you get older you start to think before you act. Having a fifteen hundred dollar device in my hand that use for almost everything and slamming it over something is foolish.
Yes, ironically I slammed it yesterday. After the recent 12.1.4 update, my X is working horribly.
Looks around, thinking this thread should be in psychological issues sub forum. 
Sounds like you may need some anger management classes. I've been angry in my life, extremely angry but i realized that you need to keep control, and throwing something to the ground like that means you're losing control.
Ahhh.... one of those, a control freak.

Ok I play along. Prefer slamming android phone to ground in a fit of rage. Far more satisfying. The crunch is louder, the glass scatters and sprays farther. Definitely a far better phone to slam.
That's why you carry around two phones -- one iPhone and one $50 dumb phone. When something makes you really angry, you just toss or slam the cheaper phone. Also you look really cool when you do this, like someone who doesn't GAF. It's a great way to pick up girls.
I once through my iPhone down the garden after an argument with my wife. Found it the following day and it had had a soft landing. It’s not something I’d make a habit of doing though.
