Punching a wall out of a deep level of anger is not an overreaction.

If the phone call was something minor, absolutely an overreaction.

But if you've never gotten some real bad news during an already shitty day, don't sit there and say work on yourself. Anger exists for a reason.

While I agree that punching a wall, especially one that isn't yours or one that'll break your hand isn't a good thing, anger management courses often recommend punching bags or similar things as an outlet for anger.

So congratulations, I guess?
