That can get to be pretty exhausting after a while and might be part of it

This can be exhausting. I’m in the same situation from both sides of my family and wife’s family, on top of that I’m in the process of taking over a family business after the 1st of the year. I’m same age as you with teenagers, wife that works and a live in a house that constantly needs something done to it.

I'll be 42 in a few months and have certainly felt more mortal lately and worry about my family and health more than I ever have before. I suppose this is a normal part of aging?

Low T is over prescribed and comes with its own set of issues. I’d be hesitant about that one.
Like Fight Club, you likely need sleep (get a sleep monitor to see how well you are sleeping)...I bet not as well as you think.
Clean up your diet...I mean really clean it up.
To get sleep, you need to exercise...hard, strenuous exercise. Join a CrossFit gym or Jiu Jitsu gym...something with group accountability.

It's the constant feeling of needing to serve others and the feeling of needing to protect the family, essentially you are holding on too tight.
I don't really get emotional, but have been getting anxiety more lately. Best advice I can give is make time to clear your head, almost a meditation, and to realize how blessed you are and appreciate those things you have been blessed with.

Have you been through anything traumatic and any chance these videos/songs are a trigger?
I will use myself as an example.
My house flooded partially in Hurricane Katrina. By partial I mean I only had to gut 4 feet and below. My wife was 3rd trimester pregnant and we had a 2 year old.
I was able to get back in and get to work with the gutting. Rest of my family was elsewhere. I was alone for the most part except when I drove to get Ice and MREs from the National Guard. I was close to the 17th street canal where the cadavers were sometime brought and I witnessed that and all of the other devastation before the clean up really started.
Anyway, I had my game face on, nothing fazed me, just do what had to be done.
Then one day, I saw an american red cross little truck drive by. The size of a small mail truck. I went up to the window and inside were 2 elderly people, the man very overweight, not appearing to be in great health, sitting on a stool. They were serving free hot meals, it was angel hair pasta with some thin beef stew over the top. They handed me one and I walked back inside. I got into the kitchen, opened the box to eat and just broke down crying I was so touched that these people would be so selfless to come and help like that. And of course, it was also cathartic for the entire Katrina experience. So even today, if I see an example of selfless acts, I have to catch myself from breaking down, because it takes me back to how I felt in the kitchen that day. It is my own version of PTSD I suppose, not to belittle what veterans or others have because it is not debilitating for me, but it is there. Not depression, not anxiety, not low T, not lack of faith.
So, just wondering if you can see any sort of connection and if these emotional times can be from triggers to something significant, maybe not traumatic, that happened in your life. I would suspect that there are a ton of folks who come to this board that have been impacted by some natural disaster, but it doesn't have to be that extreme.
If this is a troll, congrats you got me.
If not, I hope you get your answers.

Na I feel I have a calling to serve, sometimes I let it overwhelm me.
And the diet had you an emotional wreck? Which one? I usually just tell people to count macros and don't deprive yourself.

Man up. Drink a beers, smoke a cigarette and enjoy the cool fall air. 
I try not to worry about a god damned thing. And I’m getting good at it.

Check out low testosterone symptoms. Easy to treat.

I only had one emotion for a lot of years, anger lol. But, had kids, they’re almost both grown and I’ve noticed now in my 40s that nostalgia is a powerful thing. I’m a shite load softer emotionally and like you said, even sports videos will get to me... I feel like that Seinfeld episode when Jerry opens up emotionally and says “what is this salty discharge coming out of my eyes?”
