Up to 60,000 people in Wales are thought to be living with BPD. Many have been waiting years for treatment. Donna Rose meets others with the condition.
Up to 60,000 people in Wales are believed to be living with borderline personality disorder .Wales rugby international Donna Rose was diagnosed with BPD 11 years ago, after a particularly dark period in her life.
"One week, I'll be seeing nurse A the next week I'd be seeing psychiatrist B. And I have abandonment issues. I didn't know that at the time. But that just triggered me. If you’re going to give someone a psychiatrist to talk to, keep that person, we trust that person because we opened up to them. She has never met anyone with BPD before so now Donna has come to Bridgend to visit Jess Matthews, who also lives with the condition.Jess was diagnosed in 2017. She said at this point she was "in crisis" and "had a suicidal plan".
A spokesperson from Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board said: “We are concerned to hear about these experiences. "And I cannot understand at what point any mental health professional decided that they weren't going to support survivors of trauma and abuse."Since her diagnosis, Jess has been using her lived experience to help to educate health care workers and has even delivered a training session on BPD.
Examples of good practice can be found in a number of hospitals across the country. At Aneurin Bevan Health Board, the head of adult psychology has shared how they support patients with BPD. Dr Liz Andrew said: "It's a multi-phase treatment where you're using intensive skills, training, and a good relationship with an individual therapist, in order to support the person to enhance their repertoire of coping.
