Hi.
There are a whole bunch of things that might be responsible for your bouts of anxiety and anger. It would really take a good diagnostician to sit down with you and attempt to reconstruct some of your history to tease out the markers of specific conditions.
To me, it sounds like your illness might be somewhere along the bipolar spectrum. A mood stabilizer might be indicated. Tegretol or Trileptal are particularly good to treat anger. The anger and and racing thoughts might be an expression of a mixed state that is now drifting more towards depression.
I am not a professional diagnostician, and I would not be able to rule out an Axis II disorder. However, I think it makes sense to take a good look at the possibility that you suffer from bipolar disorder (BP) and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) together.
