First I owe you an apology. I misunderstood what you were trying to say.

Please, please, please be honest and open this time when you go for help and make sure they understand that your anger issues are chemical. My fear for you is that the next time you lash out, you will do worse than slapping someone and you could end up in jail.

The question about your age was rhetorical, but I was sincere about your intelligence and ability to articulate. It takes courage to ask for help, but once you do, things will slowly get better.

I am 52, and I still remember well when I thought there was no hope for me and that I would always be broken. Now with the help of a good therapist, psychiatrist, and medications I am happy and healthy. I still have the occasional bad day, but I now have the tools to deal with them better.

Let us know how it goes with the therapist.
