  Express yourself. If anger has been inside you, bottled and unable to be expressed it may be impossible to be happy. Pick up a notebook, and start writing to aide in your self curing anger management sessions. If you feel silly expressing yourself writing to no one, then address the notebook as, "Dear Mr. Notebook." Sometimes having someone to express yourself too helps, it may be more comfortable writing thoughts and emotions in a place that no one will ever see. Words may not seem to make the difference you were hoping for. Perhaps word vomit has reared it's ugly face one to many times. Look for another outlet for your anger management. Painting, running, or other physical activities may help you to express the rage that is stored inside of you.
