(((Whatbeanbelieved))),
Ofcourse no one here can diagnose you (we are just not professionals here), but from what you are discribing of your struggle with anger, yes, it could be PTSD. I had problems with rage too and it is due to PTSD. I have, through therapy, gotten to the core issues that are behind the anger and rage that pops up in me. I can relate to getting upset when I am talking and my husband or someone else walks away in disrespect. I have good reasons to be angry, so it isn't that I get angry for no reason but I can have a hard time controlling it which is what happens when someone has PTSD.
So, you should, as others here suggest, find a therapist that specializes in PTSD if you can. I do recommend finding one that really understands PTSD or you CAN end up with a list of other disorders instead which can lead to a list of medications that may not be necessary. Often time spent with a therapist can help you understand "you" better so you can learn to control these outbursts.
