13 Ways to Manage Borderline Rage in a Healthier Way

Some people with borderline personality disorder have such extreme indignation that it’s dubbed “borderline rage.” This rage can be caused by a perceived interpersonal insult, such as being insulted by a loved one.

It’s not clear why people with BPD experience such high levels of rage and violence, but evidence shows that:

  • It can happen as a result of a sense of rejection.
  • It’s possible that it’s due to tension

Here are few ideas for coping with your frustration in a safe manner if you have BPD.
