Hello Bruce, perhaps we should talk about the "second step" (as you put it) by considering all of the practical ways that we, as believers, can get past/overcome these dark emotions (when they rear their ugly heads and get in the way of our walk).
Before I get started with the rest however, I have a question for you. While there is a selfless/righteous kind of "anger", can that be said of "anxiety" too? IOW, is there a righteous/selfless kind of "anxiety" that both glorifies God benefits/blesses others
(I ask because I've never considered that "anxiety" might have a positive side, for the Christian anyway, though I do believe that "anxiety" and "despair" can play an important role in the lives of the unsaved, in helping lead them to Christ .. e.g. Galatians 3:24).
That said, quite a number of verses/passages come to mind about overcoming our dark (sinful) emotions, so I'll start by posting some of them for us (in no particular order, other than Biblical).
God bless you!!

Romans 8
28 We know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.
2 Corinthians 10
5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
Philippians 4
6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things.
1 Thessalonians 5
16 Rejoice always;
17 pray without ceasing;
18 in everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
God bless you!!

I looked it up... well, not the first person to be arrested for plagiarism, but just in general, and found this:
Former Vice President Joe Biden has fallen foul of plagiarism several times throughout the years.
He failed a course when he was in law school because he plagiarized a paper. According to the
New York Times, Biden stated that he had "used five pages from a published law review article
without quotation or attribution" in an article he wrote for the Fordham Law Review. In 1988,
Biden was forced to withdraw from the presidential race due to plagiarism allegations. Some of
his speeches were taken from speeches made by the Kennedys, Hubert Humphrey and Britain's
Neil Kinnock during his campaign against Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.
You can find more examples like that here (<= link .)
PS~ Do people get arrested for this, or just charged and convicted/fined? .

There are serious consequences:
Legal Repercussions
The legal repercussions of plagiarism can be quite serious. Copyright laws are absolute. One cannot use another person’s material without citation and reference. An author has the right to sue a plagiarist. Some plagiarism may also be deemed a criminal offense, possibly leading to a prison sentence. Those who write for a living, such as journalists or authors, are particularly susceptible to plagiarism issues. Those who write frequently must be ever-vigilant not to err. Writers are well-aware of copyright laws and ways to avoid plagiarism. As a professional writer, to plagiarize is a serious ethical and perhaps legal issue.

I still struggle with completely forgiving moderators who delete my posts, lock my threads, and/or ban me from their website.
I forgive them, don't get me wrong.
But I forgive them with guile.
I ask the Lord to "receive them as sons" (Hebrews 12:6) and to "seek out their wickedness till He finds none" (Psalms 10:15).

I have been rooted in sound biblical doctrine. And I am not a troll, either.
I have been banned and had posts deleted because what I wrote simply was not something that itched the ears of those who were in authority.
Jesus will receive them as sons (Hebrews 2:6); and will also "seek out their wickedness till He finds none" (Psalms 10:15).

I hope I don't get dunked in hot water for plagiarizing the KJV.
CC isn't a warm, cozy, family place of sharing anymore. The word police have come to town. Soon to follow: the chart police, then the cartoon police...
Coming soon to CC: The ways of the world.
Lawyer up, little dogies!

Two places. One is here: https://christianchat.com/help/terms/. I suppose plagiarism might fall under copyright infringement; but there's also Fair Use, so just because you post someone else's material it's not automatically copyright infringement. And here: https://christianchat.com/bible-discussion-forum/guidelines-for-reporting-posts.188234/.
