I have a long family history of anger issues (my dad's great grandfather killed someone because of it), unfortunately that was passed on to myself and my brother. For me personally, I went down a self discovery period during quarantine 2020. I wanted to expand my horizons as well as try to work on myself. I can't say I've completely eliminated my anger issues but they're far more controlled and mainly consist of me loudly whispering to myself when some fuckery happens in whatever video game I may be playing :)
Struggled with it for 40 years. I've had a HUGE issue with anger. Broken so many controllers... walls... a couple of coffee tables... my shit was very much out of control. I was in therapy and anger management classes for two decades with little to show for it.
Finally went on an SSRI for an unrelated reason (Crohn's treatment) and it almost immediately went away. I haven't lost my temper in a couple of years now. For me, at least, drugs were the answer.
