I've been wanting to say something like this here for a while. Most recommendations here are good for dealing with symptoms, while there remains the possibility of overlooking the deeper problem(s).
As someone who has spent too many years nailed down by undue feelings of guilt and self-loathing, I can tell you that no number of hours in the gym, no number of alcoholic drinks, no number of hits of marijuana can remedy what lies beneath.
One of the greatest challenges one can face is the realization of what causes our underlying misery. Do not be afraid to look truth in the face. Confront it with courage and work through it and you might one day find yourself looking at uncontrollable and overbearing anger as merely a memory.
