Taking baby steps is possibly the hardest process for me. It, sadly, makes me angry.
I guess I'm too used to instant gratification when it came to working on things.

That's also how I feel. Sometimes I can't blame myself fully for things, but I can blame myself partially. I can't hold anger at someone for long since I could hurt them. I hate hurting people, whether it is emotionally or physically. (I doubt I have the guts to physically hurt someone though...)

You understand that you do it and that it is no good. That is one step to closer to getting better
Just trying to not let it happen isn't going to prevent it. Triggers will be triggers. I guess we have to learn to work with our triggers and understand why they make us tick.

Let's make a wish
Easy one
That you are not the only one
And someone's there next to you holding your hand
Make a wish
You'll be fine
Nothing's gonna let you down
Someone's there next to you holding you
Along the paths you walk
