Well, now, you want advice, but not to tell you to go see a counselor? How did you plan to challenge this problem?
Let's talk seriously about your problem here. You know what the problem is, your know what course of action to take to start making headway with it, why are you standing in your own way?
Counseling helps because it is a conversation with someone who not only hears what you are saying, but how you are saying it, what your face does when you say it, what your body language is. It's a whole picture, and you need to be there for the best results.
It's obvious you aren't doing this on your own, so you need some help from an expert. Look for someone who you relate to, not every counselor is right for every person. But take this seriously, it will only get worse if left alone. If you act out in public, or with some other person, you could go to jail, earning you a record that could make it very hard to get jobs in the future.
That's the down side of this. There is a good side. Decide to go to a therapist and work with him or her to solve your problem. Then you will have learned something great that will last your whole lifetime: how to deal with frustration. You don't want to hurt someone you care about, and you don't want to destroy things that may be hard to replace. Take this seriously and you can create a healthy future.

At some point in your life, when you were younger - probably around the age of 8, you discovered that anger was an effective way to communicate or get your way. You've been using it ever since because you've become very good at it. Now, whenever you do not get your way, when you feel frustrated or hurt, you use anger as a way of dealing. Other people become funny, or nice, or indifferent but you become violent and angry.
This may sound simple, but just try being something other then angry. Pick something that you'd like to be instead of angry, something you can be proud of and work on it. It's really just a choice.

I think you need medication. If you really are dead-set against seeing a psychiatrist, perhaps your family doctor can help you. Anger management classes will only help so much. I used to have the same problem, you could see the results of my "temper tantrums" all over my apartment. I even broke my hand once because the screwdriver kept slipping out of the screw. In response to this I punched a concrete floor and broke my knuckles.
A few years ago, I became very depressed and started taking anti-depressants. The side effect that I was not expecting is that the medication also eliminated my temper tantrums. Completely eliminated!!! Now, I have to try to get myself "worked up" to let people know that I am angry. I have to put effort into showing my anger, not controlling it. Believe me, I have a much easier time "trying" to show my anger than control it. I never get out of control any more.
If you continue to refuse to seek the appropriate help, you will have this problem for the rest of your life and it will never get any better. And if you have kids, they will suffer for it. Trust me on that. My father also had terrible anger issues. My sister's and I ended up with the bruises as evidence of his anger.

well, a friend of mine has a problem and it is called anxiety.
he saw a therapist for awhile, talk therapist, didn't really help he says; now he's going to group sessions to treat anxiety ('cognitive behavioral therapy') at a local university.
it sounds to me as though your anger has simply been there from very early in your life. if you don't have a major trauma somewhere in your early childhood that needs to be uncovered (?), it is possible that what may help is some sort of cognitive behavioral therapy - that is, a way of picking up the tools to help you deal & live with the anger, to channel it in a productive way.
good luck! take good care.

What is your question? ill assume your trying to become less angry all the time
tho im kinda afaird to suggest anything...maybe try reading some Anger Management books? Talking to someone about it probably would be better but you don't want to see a therapist...maybe a parent, teacher, friend?, start a journal of feelings, etc

please dont you ever marry a woman who has a very quiet mood and peaceful mind because you're only going to traumatize her, trust me you do need to get help (anger managment) but first you need to admit that you have a problem of anger otherwise you're not gonna get all the support that you may need to go through this in a better way.

Interesting that the one thing that could help you (therapy) is the thing you won't try.
This doesn't get better on its own, you know.
You need some tools to deal with your anger, to help you redirect it and manage it.
That's what a therapist will give you.
Either get the help now, or have a JUDGE order you to get it later, its up to you.
But that's the way you're heading if you don't get help now.
