Hopefully I can get some input on what's been going on. For the past year or so I have been experiencing some bad mood swings; these mood swings are never physically violent, but I yell and scream and blame others for things that have nothing to do with them.
Thinking about it, it seems like these mood swings occur for no reason; for example I'll get really upset for someone yawning to loudly or the weather outside. Things I can't really control.
While these bouts of anger come I am aware that I shouldn't be angry and sometimes I can control my anger by clenching and reclenching my fists, especially in public. My public persona a is entirely different- I'm extremely friendly and personable, but when I'm with close family it happens.
I don't want to continue to put my family through these mood swings, so hopefully I can get some advice on what to do next.
Thanks guys.

are there some external stressors or major changes going on in your life?

No major changes, I recently have been working a tad bit more, but nothing I shouldn't be able to handle.
The anger usually comes when I can't control the situation. Is that normal?

We are humans and generally resistant to change. Do you not think that your moods are linked to the frustration of not being able to control a situation? Not being willing or able to change and adapt?
Are you getting enough rest now that you're working a bit more?
Try track your moods daily, and make a note of any external stressors that can be to blame. If you cannot find stressors, highlight this, it could be a sign of BP.
And then make an appointment with your general doctor for him to offer some advice and see how you're doing. He may advise you to see a pdoc for a diagnosis of something

I agree...
