Important aspects of your query are:

From your query it clear that you are a emotional person who become angry/irritable easily. You also have somatic symptoms (tiredness, Warm feeling in palms, feet, lips) of anxiety and depression.
In my opinion you may have some personality issue like borderline or impulsive personality. But to diagnose detail personality disorder psychological assessment is needed from psychologist. Person with personality disorder frequently have irritability, emotional lability and anxiety/depression.
Cipralex relieve anxiety and depressive symptoms. It can be used for 9-12 months in first episode of anxiety/depression. It also reduces anxiety/depression induced irritability and somatic symptoms. As it is prescription drug, you can start it after written prescription from psychiatrist.
I would I also prefer long term counseling (CBT, anger management and coping skill training) from psychologist in your case to manage personality and interpersonal issues in family.
