Look up dysphoric mania and see if that relates to you at all. I have it and was always angry and would lash out growing up. However if you had my upbringing you'd probably be a bit pissed too. So was it my mental health or my environment? I'd say my environment played into my illness. Did you suffer any trauma growing up? I have PTSD too.

More importantly, how are you doing now? Are you seeking treatment for your anger issues at least? I would advise against bringing a gun to the tdoc though lol.
