I have trouble dealing with my anger, can someone explain some things?

I have anger problems, no doubt. I've been angry since I was a kid (should be pretty common) but it has continued through adolescence and even now I get angry and only want to break the things around me and burn bridges (friends and social). I spend a lot of time on  my computer mostly due to the fact that I would like to spend time with women, and have grown tired of hanging around with my guy friends. I've been stuck with sexual frustration and I have nothing but people flake on me every time I get close.

That aside, I have a job and I attend school, but the problem resides within my brain. I work in the afternoon until closing so I don't have time to go out during the day. However I get days off where I spend time exercising or hanging out with friends. It is beyond me why I am still so angry.

I have no choice when it comes to antidepressants or any other drug, mostly due to the fact that my father has the absurd idea that they A) dont work and B) are the equivalent of alcohol and the devil (not that we're christian). I have the money to pay for the medication myself, and my health insurance can cover most of the cost, but if I do start taking prescription medication, my father will take the car he has lent me back. I've tried reasoning, but nothing gets through.

I personally hate this feeling, and the absence of intimacy due to my borderline psychopathic anger. What can I do?

I know you don't want to take anti-depressants because of the car, but is a car more important than your mental health.  Think about it.  Wouldn't you rather feel well and function normally?

I had done counseling before. It worked out at first, but got too expensive due to the fact that it wasn't under my health insurance. Perhaps it would make sense to find something my insurance can cover. Thanks
