only way to find out is to open up the phone and try to re-connect the screen. if not I would try a new battery and a new screen.

You need anger management badly!

Before you fix your phone you should see someone to help you with the stress or other issues thats eating at you.

@danj, you can't fix everything. Bi-Polarism is one such problem. I've worked with several with BP, autism, cerebral palsy, mental depression, and other issues. You just need to learn to work around the issues and accommodate.

You are using the phone the wrong way.

If you do plan to throw it at people and things, you need a very good case, like an Otter case or a Spigen case.

In any event, you will have to have to open up your phone to see what damage you have done to it.

Since it is an iPhone 5, the retail price USD is around $200. If it is a screen, it is worth repairing. Anything else, forget about it, and get a new phone.

Woot.com is selling pre-scratched and pre-dented phones for cheap if you are into a replacement.

It says its for Verizon, but it is unlocked for all GSM carriers (not for Sprint).
