I think you'll be pleasantly refreshed when you do reach out for that help you need to control your unhealthy anger.
Here's a bit I found:

Quote:
What is an anger management class, and how does it work?
An anger management class is a way to teach people how to express their anger in a controlled, healthy way. We teach people about what anger is, how to recognize their anger triggers, how to become aware of their own feelings of anger, and how to keep their anger under control. We also discuss what other feelings they may have going on, such as depression. We can do this individually, with spouses or families, or in groups.

So, for the person who was in the military, for example, we would work with him on realizing that he doesn't need to yell and scream and get aggressive when he's angry. We'd also work with him on issues he may have with his upbringing, such as being in an abusive household.

How do you know if you might benefit from an anger management class?
Not everyone who gets angry needs an anger management class. You may get ticked that your television remote control doesn't work and throw it across the room. Do you have an anger management issue if you do that? Probably not.

But if you have run-ins with the police, you physically harm someone or you try to intimidate someone with your anger, you could probably benefit from an anger management class.

The Mayo Clinic is a great source of information. Look around the site for more info. I think it'll help.

Shalom!
