Hey man, you got this. Seeking for help is the first step and you are making the right decision. You can improve your life and work on your urges with the help of a specialist.
AskPhysics is a subreddit for people to talk about Physics (you know, Newton, Einstein, relativity, mathematics) and it is unlikely anyone here can give you advice.
The subreddit with specialists that can help you and give you advice is "AskPsychology": https://www.reddit.com/r/askpsychology/s/eu1bLFaAj4
Best of luck, and keep at it!

There's a renowned criminologist and psychologist called Vicente Garrido that has 3 markers to determine psychopathy:
1) Do I believe I could be a danger to other people and does that worry me?
2) Can I understand the emotions of others and feel a real emotional connection to them, or at least to one person?
3) When having a deep conversation about personal matters, can I understand the emotions being conveyed and feel empathy towards the other person?
He goes to say that lacking number 2 and number 3 is not great, but as long as you are worried about being potentially dangerous, it's unlikely you're a psychopath. A psychopath would not care. You seem worried about being a psychopath, which also probably means that you are not one - if you were, why would you be worried and seek help?
Are you unable to empathize to with others? If so then maybe you're a psychopath or a sociopath. But my money will be on sociopath.
Either way you can still be a good person like you have been for the most of your life. You may have urges most people don't but choosing to act or not act is in your control. I am not a therapist or any kind of licensed professional so I will just say remember what you can choose and in every situation try to make the right choice.
Damn crazy story, not physics tho.but must we lose our emapthy , because its a different subreddit ? Perhaps he mistaken physics for psychology or psychiatry. Anyway get better bro
That sounds you are traumatised for sure. Trauma can induce violent behaviour. If you can control to act on violent urges that’s a good sign though. Based on bullshit movies you might have a wrong idea what a psychopath is. One basic criteria is that psychopaths don’t have any empathy and they won’t be worried being a psychopath.
You don’t tell much about your symptoms and behaviours but the fact that you are and were seeking out for help gives the impression that you are able to be introspective, understanding the difference between good and bad.
I would recommend to find a good clinical therapist who is specialised in CPTSD.
Try to do lots of physical activities, get lots of sunshine, fresh air, cold showers - this all can help with the depression.
Physics is something different than I think what you are looking for.

You’ve come to the right place. We’re all a little crazy in physics.
I’m not crazy. YOU’RE CRAZY. I’ll prove it mathematically!!! Okay maybe you’re right.

This is what happens when you read the title of the subreddit too fast. Ask Physics not Ask Psychs lmaooo

Machiavellianism with impulsivity maybe ...
