Through the years of therapy or other treatment for anger, have you ever been told that it is a learned behavior? I have seen little boys turn out to be just as hot-tempered and angry as they had seen displayed in their own fathers. They learn from the role model before them every day. They learn how Daddy reacts when things don't go to please him.
I've also seen men who have some physical problem hit them later in life that changes their temperament so much! Sometimes it could be for the worse, and sometimes for the better....or just sad and depressed. So, I agree with the thoughts of chemical reaction in the brain.
You did the right thing by sharing this problem with us, and I think everyone here will understand some of your struggles better, now that we know how you've truly tried to get help. So many people use the excuse that they couldn't help themselves, but when a person is trying to find it....then that says a lot for them.

It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
