WTF!!! I need help!!

I am always angry! For as long as I can remember I have been a very angry person; almost any little annoyance will upset me, and I will not let it go until I can do something about it - be it negative or positive. In high school I decided that I would join the Marines and channel my anger through by becoming a drill instructor. That never happened.

After that I never dealt with my anger and it's been building up inside of me ever since, and it also has led to depression that gets worse with time.

Recently it was brought to my attention that I've been directing my anger and frustration at my girlfriend and daughter. To be honest, I never noticed it. But as I've had time to think it over, I see that I was. Now what I am seeking is advice on how to deal with all this pent-up anger and aggression, without directing it at the ones I love most!
