Sometimes it's in a good way and sometimes bad. I'm not making excuses. I'm stating a fact when I say I'm mentally unstable.

Recognizing you might have gotten bad or one-sided information on a subject is a great thing. Nothing wrong with giving opposing views a real, honest shot. Glad to hear it!
And with anger issues, it's always a good idea to see a counselor if you're able. Getting at the root helps.
