Self-flagellation

No -- involves a kind of aggression directed at the world in general, not at oneself. I'm sure you'll end up being awarded "next question", for sheer persistence; at all events, I'm about to be out of computer-range for some hours.

Some way of venting frustration. Throwing things?

 

[Calthrop]

Not physical throwing of things...

 

[SuspectUsual]

Shouting and screaming?

You've hit the target: lalochezia -- medico-psychological term meaning (combining a couple of definitions per Net) emotional discharge / release re stress / pain / frustration, gained by uttering (aloud) vulgar or foul language.

@SuspectUsual: one might reckon that the (un)necessary-ness of whatever degree of swearing, is a matter of individual taste / opinion -- however: you "got" the involvement of profanity; please set the next question.

(@DaleCooper -- you appeared to be the "favourite", looking to be on the way to triumphing by dint of sheer sticking-at-it; but an "outsider" in the shape of @SuspectUsual showed up late in the event, and unexpectedly overhauled you.)

crying?

I'm afraid not -- see above.
