Anger

Anger is one of the most damaging parts of BPD due to the consequences/ repercussions. It can lead to domestic violence, criminal damage, broken relationships and in the worst cases, prison or hospitalization.

Learn about your triggers and ways that you could avoid them

When you feel yourself getting angry try and focus on slowing down your responses, don't speak straight away, allow your self time to think about not only your reaction but also the consequences...often we can say things we later regret because words were said in haste.

If you can't forgive, then forget and move on...grudges can fester and make anger worse.

Make time for you..do something that you enjoy or that helps relax you...other people can seem a lot more annoying when you are already stressed!

If you are able to let people know how they can avoid angering you then it may help...sometimes they might not even be aware they are doing it.

If you need a physical outlet then try to do an activity that will help tire you out - housework or running are examples of positive options.
