Having some serious issues with anger. Not sure what to do.
Post Body

It's been building for 8 months now. Things are setting me off that I used to just be able to deal with. The tipping point (sorry to be political here) was the election. The results of which directly affect me and my Wife and the candidate who won, is very much a roadblock to our end goal. My family (Dad and Step-Mom) voted for the candidate. They love me and my Wife but still voted that way.

I've raged on Facebook at them and others all day yesterday and so far today. I'm exhausted at how angry I am but I still keep doing it. And it's not just this. My wife will do something that shouldn't even upset me in the slightest but I get so angry. I've broken a floor fan after smashing it against a bedroom wall.

I've snapped at her an untold amount of times. I could say it's stress but it's not an excuse as it's getting worse. The stress hasn't been as bad lately and still my anger issue is getting FAR worse.

I'm upset at myself now. My wife and I are in a good spot right now. We just had a little rough patch but a lot of that has to do with my anger too. I hold a grudge far too long. I get angry when I should only be very upset. I get angry when I should be mildly upset. I get angry when I shouldn't be upset at all. I feel like I'm just a ball of anger.

I've just started being more physical with exercise. Yoga and just going out and throwing the football with the Mrs. It seemed to help us a little but, I'm still so very very angry. I'm sorry for the length of this and it's turned into a rant.

I just don't know what to do or where to turn. I'm looking now for an English speaking therapist covered by our insurance. I need one in the worse way I think.
