What Even Is a Crashout?

The Merriam-Webster definition of a crash out is described as a verb, an action. To crash out is “to become suddenly, uncontrollably angry or distressed.”

This happens because of the build-up. You bottle up annoyances, stress, anger, sadness, and irritation. All the funky stuff, because those are unpleasant things.

At least, that’s what they say. Here’s to testing theories.
