People with borderline personality disorder tend to feel a lot of anger and intense emotions, that’s why it is known as borderline disorder. People with this condition get angry on same issues as normal people, but they stay angry for longer time. It is because they overthink the situation and keep playing a scenario in their head over and over again. Their anger is enhanced because they suffer from stress as well. They find it difficult to calm down. Some medications and psychotherapy might help in treating a person with borderline disorder.
