    Don't beat yourself up anymore over it. You're clearly dealing with enough other things right now. You over-reacted, you regret it, you apologized with sincerity, and you learned something in the process.

    For now just focus on the other things you are dealing with. It sounds like this sort of escalation is rare for you. I've seen plenty of people who otherwise have a very even temperament react when just enough piles on. If this is indeed rare, move on. If you find that you feel close to this again in the future or the other things keep piling up, speak to a friend, a counselor, your HR department, or a supporter here who understands tough triggers.

    Lastly, I'd suspect he did it. Regardless, a gesture of good will may go a long way for both of you. A note, a non-chocolate treat for him, etc. Or I'm just cheesy enough to break the ice and bring in some York peppermint patties and make a joke about giving away your cool rather than losing it, lol.
