I overheard co-workers saying negative things about me, should I tell on them?
I don't want to talk to them about it. I hate them now, and can't stand to even look at them. I want them to know that I heard what they said because they didn't realize that I did but, if I say something it will just come out as yelling or angry. I feel horrible now and hate going to work. I try to forget about it but, it keeps creeping back into my thoughts, even when I'm at home. Should I tell my boss? We have a zero tolerance policy when it comes to that stuff, and since they didn't realize I was there, they would probably just get a warning but, wouldn't that make them hate me even more? Would it create drama? I have to do something.
I want everyone to know that this isn't about making anyone like me or making it so that no one can say anything about me, or anyone else. What I want them to know is that I heard them, I want them to know that they're comments have effected someone. I want to tell my boss so that she can tell them and then maybe they'll understand why I'm acting the way I am and will probably avoid them completely from now on. They just need to be more careful in the future of where and when they say things.

I'm not sure "telling in them" would achieve anything
You said your place of works has a "zero tolerance policy"
on what? disliking someone?
Not everyone will like you or only say positive things about you
This is adult life, not the school playground
If you cannot address the issue with them like a grown up, tattling wont make the situation any better.
The boss cannot make this person like you
IF the negative things are about your work performance, it may only highlight a deficiency on your part if what they are saying is true. If its simply a personality clash, the boss wont want involved

What you need to do is to go to a professional counselor and get some help for yourself in order to "fix" whatever it was they were talking about. You may not see a problem, but obviously they do and they might be afraid to talk to you about it because they know you react with yelling and anger. Work on yourself to overcome the trait they were talking about, without saying anything, and they will realize you have changed whatever it was. Them there won't be any more gossip.

If you say anything to them or your boss it will only make things worse for you, If you can't forget it then you may want to look for another job. Or you may just work to better yourself here, to show them up.

Hmm! If he said bad things, I'd meet him in the parking lot!

succeed. If you just focus on being the best in your work place you will get promoted then tell them what to do.
