Alright, flood. I've had anger issues my entire life, so I know this isn't just a phase kind of thing.

I've managed to keep it mostly out of my social life, to the point where people actually find it hard to see me as an angry person. Even when I get angry I do my best to just keep silent and hold the anger inside. I feel like this has a negative effect at home though, I'm EXTREMELY irritable at home, all my family has to do is walk by my room and I'm annoyed and snappy at them.

Now, even at home I still hold my anger mostly inside, however, if no ones at home and I get angry then it all comes out. I have multiply holes in my room as well as heaps of broken items. My parents have suggested I seek therapy many times but I always refuse. I'm beginning to think that it might be a good idea though, I know bottling all the anger inside is a bad idea, and as much as I try to tell myself to not get angry and be happy and pleasant I still get angry and my parents get the brunt of the force.

My mom has come to me in tears and all I can think about is how much I wish she would -blam!- off a die, those are literal thoughts too.

Flood, do you think it would be wise to seek therapy for this? I've always blew it off and told myself I didn't have a problem, but today my parents get to come home to more holes in the walls and broken items.

So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

Avoid Anger Management classes. They don't help at all.

Answered you own question there.

Just to idiot-proof this post: YES.

I agree that all presidents should serve 2 terms. 1 in office and 1 in prison

I use the stop and think measure. I also can get very angry, sometimes at the stupidest crap. I just isolate myself from what it is that is causing me to be so angry and try to relax. Usually taking a walk or drinking a beer or something. Then I take a new more relaxed approach to the problem. Just the other day I was so mad at my GF, I don't honestly know why, so I just walked out of the house and unloaded this stupid desk I have had in the back of my Mountaineer for the last week. Came back in and felt fine.

Don't stick yourself on drugs because you'll become dependent on them, but the best advice really would be NOT here.
