Should i seek help?

I'm really starting to think I have an anger management problem. See, when I was a kid I kinda felt like I was sort of a scape goat of the family, like most of the blame and responsibility was put on me (I was the middle child). I was bullied alot in highschool and I'm over that, but I don't know if there's something from that that's eating at me at a subconcious level. My first major girlfriend cheated on me twice (with two different guys) and none of my relationships have worked after that. What happened was my brother was showing me the new rifle he bought and, jokingly, pretended to hit me in the head with the butt of his rifle, but he miscalculated and hit me right in the face full-on. When that happened I just snapped and lost it. I didn't black out because I remember it, but I just started flailing at him, biting him and punching him in the head as hard as I could. I feel terrible for it and I think I need to find some sort of counseling. Please, any advice would be appreciated.

    When people are in a lot of pain, they lash out. Very very normal. You sound like a nice good person.

    Its normal, just don't mix fighting with guns. Guns already have a bad enough name. Its ok to kick your brothers ass. I have! respect is respect. Family or friend or enemy

    It is very common. The anger is bottled up inside you for so long, then you explode. Take out your anger once in a while with some fitness exercises like mountain climbing.

    In dramas, I see people yell at the sea but I'm not sure if that's much help.

    i think we as humans natrually have anger issue, even if they rarely show.

    Whoa, you definitely need help with your anger. I'd just push the rifle down and yell WHA THE FRAK!

    Here's the lousy advice from me; forgive. Express your feelings somehow (not through fighting, dear).

    tbh, I would have been pretty pissed if someone had hit me over the face with a rifle too XD but seriously, you are right to seek help if something's weighing on your mind, you have nothing to lose if you try it out, and it could make you feel a lot better :)

    yup, you may also have some negativity suppressed regarding your brother.
