If you broke a bone in your body, what hobby would you pick up while recovering?

Second lady has no idea how intelligent and pretty she is. I hope she is reading these compliments! You are brave :)

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 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

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’m crying with the second woman that must be so tough

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.

The second lady definitely needs to see someone more than a GP. Hope she’s doing better.

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.

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

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.

This lady is so incredibly brave. I hope she gets the help she needs and the peace she deserves one day.

The unstable personality disorder lady had me in tears! 😭 I couldn’t be a GP I’d just cry with all the patients 🥲

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.

That poster was absolutely beautiful!

The way she talks about her pets is beautiful :( They really are life saving

really hope the second lady is getting on better now

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

The Second Lady is so brave and should be so proud of herself!

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 ❤️

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

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.

The second woman would be a great public speaker.

My heart was so with the second lady, I just felt her every word 😞 She’s so beautiful, I just wish she knew It ...

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.

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'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/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.

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!

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

Thats quite possibly the best description of anxiety and depression I have ever heard

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.

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.

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

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 🥰

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 .

7:30 This bit really touched me. I'm amazed by the profound things this woman has said. Kinda left me speechless.

The woman with the red hair is incredibly brave and strong this world needs more people like you.!

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.

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.

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🥺♥️

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

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 ❤️❤️❤️

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!

The way that the 2nd woman talked about her children and her pets was so beautiful

Every country needs to be better dealing and knowing about mental health. We are so negligent about mental health.

Im diagnosed with this so I understand her but my heart goes out to her. She is such a beautiful strong sole

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.

Such brave people for seeking the help they need my heart goes out to them keep strong x

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 hope my Gp would listen to me that long🥺 all she keep saying ok ok ok than send me home to take vitamins ibuprofen

I have eupd too. It is a rollercoaster honestly.

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

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!

Wow... please know you are not alone in your feelings... you’re such an inspiration

brave lady for saying she dont bathe, im very image paranoid, she has balls well done

If only our GP’s were as supportive in real life as they are on camera.

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.

You are brave and wonderful for coming out in this way, I wish you well in your journey

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.

So many gps are atrocious with us with bpd, she’s v lucky

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

My heart broke for this lady. I am currently looking via g with EUPD and experiencing the exact symptoms😢

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..

"You can't be anxious in the present" *laughs in agoraphobia* Yes I can... 🙃

Both of these women are lovely and I wish them both the best! ❤️

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 ❤️🧡💜

Courageous, intelligent, wise, amazing and hundreds of other wonderful words Thankyou for sharing your honesty and your story of eupd with us

I have emotionally unstable personality disorder too her doctor seems very upstanding i know how you feel

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 have EUPD, this women is amazing , I’m glad this show touched upon our illness

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. ❤❤❤

Stay strong dear soul. I hear you 🙏

No I am crying. That second woman I feel her pain so much. I understood every word she said in my soul 🥺

She is very very similar to me, breaks my heart. Brave woman

One year later..I hope the second lady is better now ,living happily and calm.

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 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

I’m shocked that she wasn’t immediately hospitalized after admitting that she had a plan to unalive herself.

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). . ❤️

As a sufferer of eupd this video made me feel so not alone❣️

It was like listening to myself, every day is like she described and hard. My dogs really help.

this woman is very very intelligent and wise

I wish I’d met a gp so caring with appointments readily available.

Both brave and articulate ladies who have a lot to offer the world

Janet. You are wonderful. You have every right to be positive.

Weldone comeing forward the first steps forward you all are so brave You all need the help you deserve ❤

You are so brave both of you I am so sorry you are going thru this

I feel so sorry for the young lady who is suicidal,my prayers are with her to get better.I suffer from Bi Polar Disorder and I have gotten suicidal and I also get were I dont feel like bathing or changing clothes,but not as bad as she gets.I dont know her but I send her virtual hugs from the U.S.

I have EUPD too, it's such a cruel illness x Sending much love and strength to you xxx

What an amazing lady ❤️

Just watching now hope that second lady is doing better and the doctor was great

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 hope they are in a better place now xx I feel like wrapping my arms around second lady and hugging her
