If you broke a bone in your body, what hobby would you pick up while recovering?
Meditation.
Sleeping
Skydiving
If I broke my foot I would go to a trampoline park and jump on it
Habitual laziness, overeating & graffiti on plaster....
Second lady has no idea how intelligent and pretty she is. I hope she is reading these compliments! You are brave :)
I thought the same. She seems so intelligent
@J j haha, isn't it our looks driven society that puts folk in these positions to begin with?
@@greentorm5467 no
@J j 🤣
There’s so much stigma around eupd and a lot of patients are written off as attention seeking and not really suicidal, so to see a gp being so understanding and also reading lots of positive comments makes me so happy! Thank you for being kind, we need more kindness in this world☺️❤️
The way she spoke about being in the present with her animals. Not in the past, not in the future, just in the present. Beautiful. Beautiful soul.
I agree
This is the best way to describe the situation
I feel bad for gps, they aren’t properly trained to be dealing with patients suffering like this, dealing with ten minutes appointment times which just aren’t enough, we need a reform of primary care somehow, I don’t know how, but we do
On site therapists that remain in the GP
How do you know GPs aren't properly trained? The UK health system is amazing
@@joewilson2175 they are properly trained, just not as psychologists ? Dude I’ve sat in on hours of gp surgeries I’ve spoken to many, they are amazing health care professionals with years of training, just not in dealing with complicated mental illness every day
@@joewilson2175 I promise you the uk health system isn’t amazing. Speaking from personal experience
@@tzuyuwu786 especially when it comes to mental health!
The seocnd girl is so, so brave to speak out like this. I lied when I was asked if I had a plan for suicide. I said no. I didn't tell them that I didn't just have A plan, I had MULTIPLE plans. Literally one for each hour of the day. At nights, I'd plan to go out a do it, on the way home form school I had a different plan, during school another, on holidays another. It was such a tiring thing having plans that I couldn't stop thinking about and that were all the same for different situations, unless I found a better option for that time of day. I'm so, so glad she spoke out, it's amazing.
I hope you’re feeling better now and understand that these feelings pass and are temporary. Life will always bring highs and lows. We’re prepared for the highs, not for the lows! Keep going - you are stronger than you think. I never knew I had the strength until life throws different things at you. We are allowed to fall, and fall hard but we must always find the strength to get up and keep going, keep fighting. Don’t ever give up x
When asked if I had a plan, before I could answer I was told they will have to take action to prevent it and there is a risk I will be sectioned, so I said no and always deny it now as I can’t risk it
I hope you are staying strong throughout this pandemic. Please always remember that tommorow is a new day, the past cannot be changed and the future determined. So stay strong and take it day by day and try to fill your life with love and positivity as tough as it may be.
I wish you the best and stay strong!
(Also as a person who's experienced multiple people take their life, it is one of the most unbearable pains). Take care.
I understand as I suffer with an emotionally unstable personality disorder and have also at times had multiple plans for suicide I am now getting the proper help but it took me taking an very serious overdose and waking up in the intensive care unit 4 weeks later hope you are getting help and support especially at this difficult time with the covid situation
You were genuinely unwell, Lakon. On the contrary, it would have been extremely difficult in your situation to speak up, as people who are genuinely suicidal often find it extremely challenging to do so. Great you sought help. Stick with it.
i’m crying with the second woman that must be so tough
the second woman was so open and vulnerable it made me cry! so brave of her to speak out and raise awareness of this illness
This lady is so incredibly brave. I hope she gets the help she needs and the peace she deserves one day.
The second lady definitely needs to see someone more than a GP. Hope she’s doing better.
she does she sees a psychiatrist, but her gp is first contact.
@@cartersimpson1532 Yeah but she needs to be in therapy. Not just a psychiatrist and gp.
As someone with EUPD/BPD, I wish I’d had a doctor who cares for me like this. I had to go through so many doctors just to get the right referral. People don’t understand us, even GPs and the stigma is horrible. Nobody realises we can’t even get therapy, it’s so hard to find a therapist who doesn’t judge, the NHS don’t offer it and we’re turned away constantly. I just wish more people understood, that’s all I want.
How did you get a diagnosis can i ask?
I tried the stepps programme and honestly it has changed my entire life. It was a 2 year waiting list though, well worth the wait. If you can access it please give it a go, or find a therapist who offers specifically DBT. The problem is the help is there, but accessing it and finding the correct people is hard. Have you joined any Facebook help groups etc? They are full of people who understand and can offer help and advice, there is a light at the end of the tunnel I promise!
Totally agree, there should be more help
As a sufferer of eupd I couldn’t agree more with your comment
@@smellyellie4256 I had my diagnosis via a psychiatrist
The second lady, she shouldn’t be seeing her GP she needs to see a therapist or a specialist who can help her long term.
you can go to your gp to get a therapist/specialist
Not everyone can afford to go private for therapy
@@dovestone_ yeah I’m based in the UK also, I know the waiting times for specialist mental health care are bad but this video made it seem as if she has no access to that and only her gp
I have EUPD too, it took me over 2.5 years to actually get the therapy, which is cuerently I process. She said in the video she has a psychiatrist, but usually the mental health teams are unbelievably slow so for some people a GP is all they have. It's better than going to A&E in a mental health crisis after a suicide attempt (been there done that, too many times)
To have any specialised care you need to see your GP to refer you
I was 2 years on the waiting list for my BPD so I had to see a GP for the time I was waiting to see a psychiatrist. When I did get on the list, my appointments were every 4-5 months which was never enough.
That poster was absolutely beautiful!
I feel really hopeless when a doctor asks me what do we need to do? In that state of mind I want someone to know what I need and know what’s best for me because in that frame of mind I don’t.
same, I feel really confused when they ask me questions like that but working on just being honest and saying I don't know instead of coming up with an answer on the spot
exactly, thank you
They ask me that too, what do you need, how can I help you,
When a doctor asks you this they want to know your plan not give you their ideas. You have to think about your actions not necessarily act upon these thoughts.
Wish I had a dr like this that cares. Thank the universe for animals also. You are a very strong lady for doing this video. Stay strong.
I have eupd and I wish so desperately I had had a doctor like that. He seems so kind and listened to her so well. All we want is to be understood and supported in that understanding. I admire that woman so much! It’s such a scary and different world we live in, I relate to everything she said and I just want to give her a hug. She is so strong
I believe I have EUPD, in fact I’m certain. Whenever I’ve tried to express this to a proffesional though they have acted like they know more than me and that because I know what it is I must be making it up.
@@j.c7719 I’m so sorry to hear this. I understand what you u mean by this. I’ve felt I had it a long time before I was diagnosed, and I think if you believe you have it, you probably do. I was almost 100% certain. The way I got my diagnosis was through a psychiatric assessment, which can be done by the nhs or privately. I suggest you maybe try going to your gp about this and if you do not get referred on the nhs ( this unfortunately is extremely difficult as there is long waiting lists) maybe try privately? It’s so frustrating trying to get a diagnosis but know that just because you don’t have one, doesn’t mean your feelings are invalid. Whatever you are going through, wheather is it eupd or not, you deserve help, so keep pushing for it! X
@@elinalannah0022 Thank-you very much for your advice, I will try again through my GP Cos it’s getting a bit too much right now with everything x
I’m realising everyone in the uk calls it eupd but it’s called borderline personality disorder in my county
The unstable personality disorder lady had me in tears! 😭 I couldn’t be a GP I’d just cry with all the patients 🥲
The way she talks about her pets is beautiful :( They really are life saving
I have EUPD and my cats are my world. Many times they have saved my life. They love me unconditionally, and sometimes that is the only thing that gives me hope.
I also work for the NHS and i have conversations daily that are similar to the 2nd girl. It's taught me that everyone is fighting a battle and to never judge until i know their story.
You should never judge even when you do know their story.
@@Coco-ny5wh stop trying to twist my words - I mean a clinical judgement - it's my job!
The Second Lady is so brave and should be so proud of herself!
As someone with EUPD, living in the shadows the past few years and being demonised. I’m so grateful to see this disorder being spoken about more, and brought to light. And not just be pushed aside as someone who cries too much. Breaking the stigma is so important, we’re not evil people.
she is so beautifully articulate
The second woman would be a great public speaker.
From someone who was diagnosed with emotionally unstable personality disorder nearly 4 years ago; it’s interesting to see how our disorder can affect other people differently. But I can definitely relate with the second lady. The mood swings are exhausting. For me, I struggle the most in the evenings and when your mood is bad, it’s really bad and really scary. I often think I’m never going to get the better of my personality disorder, (as I’ve tried most things, 5 hospital admissions/sectioning, self medicating, trying different meds, therapy and following my care plan) but I’m trying a new med after I’m done weaning off of quetiapine (lamotrigine) anyone else ever tried this med?
I hope that anyone who sees my comment or this video feels like they’re not alone ❤️
Can I ask why you are coming off quetiapine? My son is just trying it and it is working so far.
I had that medication and I have bpd. I had an allergic reaction to that medication. It’s called Stephen John syndrome
I hope your proud of yourself Vicky x
Are you sure you don’t have pmdd or anything
i take quetiapine and lamotrigine and they work really well for me, along with venlafaxine which is the only antidepressant that’s ever worked for me ❤️
My heart was so with the second lady, I just felt her every word 😞 She’s so beautiful, I just wish she knew It ...
really hope the second lady is getting on better now
I'm amazed by the other lady, Janet. She's so strong and incredibly brave. I understand Janet's condition is extremely serious and that fact she can logically reflect on herself and her needs is incredible. Also, it's very evident that GP's are not equipped to be dealing with cases like this and more training needs to be put into these medical professionals.
I have EUPD too and I commend this woman talking about it so openly. It’s not easy, especially given she has kids, to talk about this disorder so openly. I have a lot of love for her and I hope she is doing well. Even if she isn’t, it’s ok, because we have your back - even if it is online. We got you!
Whenever I go to the doctors about my mental health I get subscribed beta blockers and anti histamines I wish doctors we’ve actually this supportive. They care more about physical health not mental.
The anti histamines will help you sleep, The beta blockers are ment to help with anxity, They made it worse for me!. They need to offer an anti depressant like sertraline,That saved my life,and diazepam. Demand that you get a referral to phycytry xx
Doctors originally for amputations, only for fixing physical injuries to preserve life. So yes they are less equipped to help with mental health.
@@beckymesterhazi4624 doctors shouldn’t be prescribing antidepressants unless they’re going to monitor you enough. And diazepam is a very addictive drug, so it’s not easily prescribed (same as all benzodiazepines)
I just got prescribed beta blockers for my anxiety 😭 i havent taken one yet what does it feel like
@@everebecca9868 Hi I’ve been prescribed with beta blockers. They’re to help with the physical effects of anxiety. I found that it did lower my heart rate and it did help me relax a bit bc when I get anxious my heart rate is quite high. I only take it when I’m going to places that will make my anxiety bad.
This is so wonderful to see awareness being brought to personality disorders. I have Borderline Personality Disorder and every day is a battle. This woman is amazing for telling her story so honestly 🥰
Its so hard isn't it 😫 xx
BPD is pretty miserable but it can and does get better overtime and you learn to live with it and it will make you stronger Have faith it doesn’t have to be a life sentence
I have complex ptsd and adhd but was also diagnosed with bpd at a younger age. I think there is a lot of overlap. I feel your pain.
Thats quite possibly the best description of anxiety and depression I have ever heard
My son who's 22 has emotionally unstable disorder and adhd , much love to the lady with it too and I hope she gets to see her children grow up xx
I hope the second woman sees this. I want you to know how brave you are. You're articulate, intelligent and interesting. You are an absolute warrior. Stay strong x
I had (still have) PTSD from being in the Military. I find watching animal rescues videos help me so much. I'm a huge dog (any animal) and seeing them rescued gives me comfort.
You're a huge dog? That made me laugh so hard, thank you 😁😁
Me too
😂😂💚
Did you sign up for military or were you drafted? Bc if you weren't drafted then it's kind of your own fault.. i mean
I've battled with an eating disorder since I was 15, and disordered eating since a young child. I did open up to my doctor once, I begged for help and was told I wasn't "underweight". I was 2lb from being underweight for my height at the time. I'm 29, in recovery and now I can only wonder what my life would have been like if I had gotten the help I needed when I asked for it
I'm nearly 30 too and I've had an Eating disorder for 16 years and food anxiety.. Ive been to the doctors and It never went anywhere I got to scared to go to the places they wanted me to go, then yesterday I watched something and I now have another appointment Monday to have my bloods and ecgs to be sent off to the eating clinic but I'm scared they won't think I'm ill enough.. I am I hate everything. I should be happy I have a husband and two children. I'm so selfish and I should be happy I have thhe idea of a perfect life but this iis stopping me from being happy I can't do another year of this. If I didn't have my kids I would of definitely killed myself.
@@kirstymeddings3440 I'm so sorry you've been experiencing this for so long. You are absolutely worthy of recovery - eating disorders are mental illnesses, and I desperately hope that the NHS system will change to recognise that rather than solely focusing on the potential physical side effects. I ended up seeking help from local and online charities, as well as personal online recovery coaches, because I found that the NHS system didn't suit me. I hope that you find your path to recovery and that someday you feel truly excited and happy about life. I wish you all the luck in the world with your journey.
Even worse the criteria for Ed is getting stricter for inpatient care and that’s my dissertation topic sorted
I was told this too, I wasn't thin enough even though I looked like a skeleton, lost my period and couldn't go a day without several naps, my bmi wasn't low enough apparently 🙄they want for people to become emaciated and by then anorexia is set in so far and even harder to treat , they should be treating people before they get so unwell that they need hospital stays.
Really grinds my gears.
I find if you don't fit their image of what an eating disorder looks like, the NHS can be atrocious. I've always been a chubbier kid even when I was incredibly active, and the years of relentless bullying drove me to binging and purging. When I spoke to my GP about it, he told me that whatever I was doing was "working for me". My hair was falling out, my legs were permenantly weak, I was so unwell and my GP was happy because I lost a bit of weight. I was about fourteen/fifteen. Still haunts me nearly a decade later. Eating disorders are more than one specific image. I don't purge anymore but binging is something I fight with to this day. If someone would have helped me when I asked for help, things would be easier now. Too many kids getting failed by the system.
As an EUPD sufferer, I can't explain how much my dog has saved me. She is a rescue staffy cross who is severely anxious and reactive. I HAVE to be present, and she rewards me by being the soppiest little thing who licks my tears and sits on me when I'm having an extreme low. The way she said it keeps you in the present really hit home.
My little doggie has saved me from my eupd. I think it’s because they can give us more unconditional love than a human ever could
Keep it away from kids
The woman with the red hair is incredibly brave and strong this world needs more people like you.!
Just as a hope for those out there suffering, I wanted to share. I was in the exact same position, I have EUPD and have been sectioned twice, I have suffered since my eldest was born 9 years ago and I also wasn't working like this lady.
Now down the line I still have my ups and downs and plenty of triggers but with medication and managing triggers I have now began a new career as a support work in a mental health hospital. I promise you it will get better. Hang in there and keep fighting. You are doing amazing!
Can we please applaud the GP for his commitment to his patient? Mental health services are so underfunded and so many people are at such a loss. Yet, this wonderful GP gives all he has to support this lovely lady and even books her weekly appointments. ❤❤❤
7:30 This bit really touched me. I'm amazed by the profound things this woman has said. Kinda left me speechless.
The way she talks about her children is beautiful
That pause, when she was asked about her plan. That pause. I felt that! That's exactly what I did. I paused because I didn't want to tell anyone and all the other thoughts that come with it. It took me some time on the ward for me to actually tell anymore my plan.
I don't have EUPD, I have Bipolar but that doesn't make it any harder or easier. I 100% understand what it's like to want to take your own life and I agree with what she said. Sometimes it makes you feel better just knowing that there's a way out.
The way that the 2nd woman talked about her children and her pets was so beautiful
Such brave people for seeking the help they need my heart goes out to them keep strong x
Im diagnosed with this so I understand her but my heart goes out to her. She is such a beautiful strong sole
I totally relate to her. EUPD is exactly what she says and she deserves a hug and deserves to be listened to and heard . Fellow EUPD sufferer to another x
Such a strong lady. Mental health issues are so hard to cope with, I’ve suffered for years. Sending you my love, I admire your strength ❤️❤️❤️
I have EUPD/BPD too, I wish so much that we could switch our brains off for a while, it’s just so exhausting living with EUPD, just so tiring.
Me too!!! Its exhausting just trying to ground myself constantly! X but I will fight on x Younare brave x we are brave! Xxxxx
And this is why GPs can’t stick rigidly to how much time is given to each patient. This type of patient needs time to be helped.
I hate when they ask you "What's your plan" it causes a huge internal battle. Part of you wants to be honest and tell them so you stay safe. Part of you is unsure if you should say, because you're terrified that you're going to be sectioned or something. And another part doesn't want to say because you don't want anyone to be able to stop you.
It has taken me about 13 years to finally have a diagnosis of phsycosis. I'm also now diagnosed with an eating disorder and have been diagnosed with anxiety and depression. This is all because I wasn't getting the help I needed sooner.
I can relate so painful to the second lady. You go to a doctor and you tell them I’m so unhappy. I want to die. And then they say “just try walking the dog”. It feels so invalidating. Like they’re not taking you seriously. If you were having a heart attack and about to die they wouldn’t tell you to go on a walk but when it’s your mental health that’s killing you that seems to be all they can offer
I think in this situation, the GP asked what helps and she said the dog helps her feel present and less at risk. He is encouraging her to use those helping mechanisms she has identified when she needs to. Here he is not trying to be invalidating, but suportive. I'm sorry you have felt invalidated in the past though.
I think you got it wrong, the GP asked what helped her when she was feeling bad? And she clearly said the dog helps her when she goes for a walk.
You would be surprised just how much pets help people. My dogs saved my life and they also help me get fot after life saving surgery..I would go for a walk then each day I would go that little bit further.
@@echo9970 I know how helpful pets can be. My dogs have saved me too. But when you’re really at the end of your rope and all your doctor can suggest is “walk your dog” it doesn’t feel very helpful. Pets are great but surely it’s a doctors job to offer something else
If only our GP’s were as supportive in real life as they are on camera.
Both of these women are lovely and I wish them both the best! ❤️
I wish my care system was like this. It’s so much harder when your first point of access don’t listen and try just pass you on from team to team. I miss my old GP, she was always kind, always willing to hear me out and ACTUALLY listened. I hope she’s doing well🥺♥️
Heartbreaking to watch.. My mother has EUPD. Growing up was a strange experience as we never knew what mum we were going to get... A loving one or a cruel one. Heartbreaking to think about..
Big hug. Same for me. Still feel the effects of it being in and around her. ❤
Sounds exactly like chronic anxiety. Severe anxiety can mimic other conditions like bipolar, and can definitely make people rageful and angry. More research needs to be done on this. There are hundreds of 'disorders' with one common feature - ANXIETY. There are only two primary emotions, love and fear. Most 'mental illnesses' are simply manifestations of the fear response in the brain. There is little difference between a schizophrenic and a bipolar sufferer, both have deviated from the natural state which is rationality, calm and love. All mental patients display this deviation from the true self, just in varying degrees, however they are one and the same.
@@opalfruits8596 are you saying her mum has chronic anxiety not EUPD?
Yes, because all mental health issues overlap.
@@opalfruits8596 I’m not sure, I find it very hard to maintain a relationship with my mum now. It was becoming too much for me and affecting my own mental health. And she has these ideas… or delusions that we all hate her and there’s no condoling her.
"You can't be anxious in the present"
*laughs in agoraphobia*
Yes I can... 🙃
I have eupd too. It is a rollercoaster honestly.
I have complex PTSD and adhd (formally diagnosed with BPD, bipolar & anorexia). I went through 3 intensive DBT programs and years of therapy. Seeing this amazing woman struggling has reignited my passion to resume my studies of counselling and psychotherapy to help these people. They are the most beautiful souls. I have been to rehab hospitals over 11 times in 10 years, and the best people I’ve met are those with mental health struggles. If anything comes from my struggle it’s to ensure nobody feels the way I’ve felt.
A week before Mental health awareness week my friend in crisis with EUPD was told by her GP there is no treatment and goodbye. This is the case in the UK .
Im supposed to have DBT. You cannot get it for love nor money its a disgrace. ( uk)
brave lady for saying she dont bathe, im very image paranoid, she has balls well done
Yes so brave, its more common than you think.. thats depression for you by Any name..
@ron donnis so brave my friend to admit that and its not just you that looses sight of hygiene. It is a classic symptom of depression so never ever get the guilt trips over it, its Not your fault when life's events overpower us... If you want to talk anytime.. Keep your chin up and your spirits will raise with it... 🙏👍💪
Doesn't matter how I'll i got i always washed myself at least once a day, you need to wash yourself.
Loss of self interest is due to depression, Brave is the most important step in management to know and face and solve challenges
@@jancril7505lucky you never got really unwell then
I was diagnosed with emotionally unstable personality disorder after years of poor mental health.
Almost 5 years later it was discovered that I actually have autism and also probably ADD/ADHD.
It’s interesting she’s scratching the back of her head at the base. I do the same as a stim and have created sores and scabs there. I also have poor executive function for simple daily tasks and rarely complete tasks.
Autism is misdiagnosed so often in women as conditions like this. Receiving my diagnosis completely changed my life and I no longer contemplate suicide because I no longer don’t understand why I don’t seem to tolerate this world. I’m just neuro divergent.
She should take some preliminary tests to see if she could actually be a masking autistic like I was.
Thank you for sharing your experience. Its very helpful
I just saw she is a massive aspie ... 100 percent the second woman is on the spectrum... and like most had this eupd label slapped on her .
So much love for this second lady and how brave she is for sharing such experiences. Showing her vulnerability certainly helps me not feel so alone in experiencing the same personality disorder. Wishing both patients all the best. Thank you to Channel 5 for covering this issue, even if just in part.
I hope with all my heart that the second lady is ok. I feel for her so unbelievably much. Lady, sorry I didn't catch your name, but if you're reading this I wish I could give you a great big hug and shower you with love and kindness. I can practically feel your pain. I can also relate to you more than you might imagine. Please, please hold on and never give up hope. And keep seeking help in different places if you feel that you currently aren't getting enough help / support.
I have EUPD, this women is amazing , I’m glad this show touched upon our illness
Oh my, the second lovely lady, you're worth more - stay strong! Sending tons of healing positivity to you & even more loving prayers! Cling on to the thought of your kids darling!
Every country needs to be better dealing and knowing about mental health. We are so negligent about mental health.
I hope my Gp would listen to me that long🥺 all she keep saying ok ok ok than send me home to take vitamins ibuprofen
You deserve a therapist. We all do ✨
Wow... please know you are not alone in your feelings... you’re such an inspiration
I have EUPD too, it's such a cruel illness x Sending much love and strength to you xxx
Really is isn't it? 😪😪
Look after yourself ♥
@@mrss2401 and you xxx 😍
It doesn’t have to be forever it can and does get better overtime as you learn to live with it and in many cases it makes you a person stronger
@@dylanthedyslexicvillain4294 it's accepting though that it's managing it. symptoms may improve or traits may even not be issues anymore but it feels a whole different world than depression. it affects so so much that it takes a lot of strength to choose recovery.
I cried my eyes out today at my GPs. Cost of living crisis snd rent increase- it was all too much. She was very understanding ❤️🧡💜
2 great ladies who should be proud of themselves. Disorder or not, the second lady actually has quite attractive personality for me. I think she’d be interesting to talk to and I think she’s pretty too.
So many gps are atrocious with us with bpd, she’s v lucky
The role of the GP is to offer primary care. They refer people to secondary care, such as therapists.
@@xkyleprivatex815 Yes of course we know that but gps often don’t refer us, ignore the mentally ill or tell us we aren’t sick enough.
@@ratqueen3809 i literally said they refer them to seconday care bruh
My gp referred me for a diagnoses thinking I had bipolar.... Was diagnosed with bpd... Went back to gp and she said 'at least it's nothing serious!!' 😳😳
Time of consultation is so short, only 10 min, other supportive groups, help lines and crisis numbers could help
Both brave and articulate ladies who have a lot to offer the world
You are brave and wonderful for coming out in this way, I wish you well in your journey
Stay strong dear soul. I hear you 🙏
I wish I’d met a gp so caring with appointments readily available.
this woman is very very intelligent and wise
As someone with BPD/EUPD. I just wanted to say to all the other people with the illness here suffering. You are doing so well, you have so much worth and so much love from so many people you don’t even know. You are normal we all are, we’re our own kind of normal and we will get through this one day at a time. I love each and every one of you and your future is bright. X
❤️
2nd lady, she’s also very brave! I could feel her pain. I know that pain. When I was going through my ordeal oh how I truly wished I could feel physical pain because the mental pain was just too hard to take. It’s a horrible thing to struggle with. I pray she is doing well.
I have emotionally unstable personality disorder too her doctor seems very upstanding i know how you feel
That second GP was amazing ❤
I have emotional unstable personality disorder and I hear voices and I have night mares and it is so very hard to live day to day and all I do sometimes is cry lie in my bed trying to block the voices out of my head but nothing works and what to end my life because it his to much for me luckily I have mental health services to help me when I’m like that
I’m sorry to hear your struggling Sharon and have this constant battle. It made me sad when you said you lay in bed and just cry. I hope you can find a way or some form of relief that calms you and brings you peace xxx
Hope you will be ok
Courageous, intelligent, wise, amazing and hundreds of other wonderful words
Thankyou for sharing your honesty and your story of eupd with us
Poor curly-haired lady. She is really struggling and I hope she is doing better. She has such a lovely voice. I have BPD and not this disorder but I understand how it feels to just want to give up. On a lighter note, I know that doctor was thinking “I hope you don't bring no fleas up in here!”
BPD is EUPD same thing
I hope they are in a better place now xx I feel like wrapping my arms around second lady and hugging her
One year later..I hope the second lady is better now ,living happily and calm.
I’m shocked that she wasn’t immediately hospitalized after admitting that she had a plan to unalive herself.
I understand as I suffer with an emotionally unstable personality disorder and have also at times had multiple plans for suicide I am now getting the proper help but it took me taking an very serious overdose and waking up in the intensive care unit 4 weeks later hope you are getting help and support especially at this difficult time with the covid situation
When is C-PTSD going to be spoken about though, I wonder. It all comes under complex trauma. If we start to address the root of CPTSD which can come out all in different ways in us, as we’re all so different, real change can start...unstable childhoods with unstable caregivers create adults with CPTSD (which will be diagnosed under a mirage of diagnoses...). We need a real real deep change and drastic measures to be taken in regards to parenting, who can have and raise children, .. if not, these cycles just go on and on as they have been for decades. It’s never our fault.. only the system’s. We all do the best we can giving what we know and have experienced. For many of us in the western world.. there hasn’t been Much unconditional love. It’s either smothering, narcissistic, emotionally unavailable, codependent..(all are which abusive to a child, the same as physical abuse) because our parents and the parents of theirs, were too sufferers of CPTSD, complex trauma, from their childhoods too. Cycle goes on..
To anyone reading who has been diagnosed with a personality “disorder” please know, your personality isn’t disordered or wrong.. and you CAN heal. (I’ve done so, and you can too).

I was wondering when someone in the comments was going to mention CPTSD - THANK YOU. It is so unseen, unrecognised and misdiagnosed yet can so easily be helped through trauma therapy, especially somatic trauma therapy, where deep and long-lasting healing and change can and does hapoen. Otherwise repeating cycles of trauma get played out from generation to generation.
Gabor Mate is definitely worth a look on RUclips - he's done some wonderful work in this area.
@@lizatkins2130 🙌👏👏 yessss! And of course I watch him and his talks he's great. The new documentary that just came out The Wisdom of Trauma is incredible... I think now it's on RUclips !!
I'm so glad the second lady shared her story, i can relate to her, so i don't feel alone.
She is very very similar to me, breaks my heart. Brave woman
That Second Lady is extremely intelligent. I hope she got the help she needed and found a way to manage her condition
I have BPD and 10 minutes is never enough it’s unfortunate really for everybody
this woman is so brave! Channel 5 can I have an update on Janes situation now? She is so lovely and interesting, I hope she is okay
I realised I’ve had an eating disorder since I was 14...always dieting, restricting my food...put on weight then lost weight...and losing it by binge eating and than purging I went to the dr a few years ago and admitted I had a problem...eating disorders arnt about how much you weigh...it’s how your mind thinks and how you deal with it x
This lady is me in a nutshell. Everything she said about the EUPD the kids etc
Just watching now hope that second lady is doing better and the doctor was great
My dad committed suicide, and I can’t imagine how many lives you could irrevocably damage from stepping in front on Bus/car/train. Please please don’t do it.
im very sorry for your loss, but telling suicidal people how much they are going to affect other peoples lives is disrespectful. dont make suicidal people feel guilty.
Selfish comment tbh. Why should someone feel pain constantly just so you don't have to for a moment?
My heart broke for this lady.
I am currently looking via g with EUPD and experiencing the exact symptoms😢
Wish my doctor had the time to give such lengthy and indepth consultations as they do on GPs behind closed doors. Most are rushing you out of the door as soon as you get in...
