Jamie Mcsporran can recall the moment something inside him 'snapped'
Jamie Mcsporran watched on helplessly as his brother Lee lay unconscious in a hospital bed, tubes and wires hooked up to every part of his body.
“My partner at the time said I made this scream, a scream she’d never heard in her life. It wasn’t even me who was poorly but they had to monitor me in hospital. “From then on, I just started taking drugs drown it all out. That’s when I think something clicked; something snapped inside me. Three years later, when his symptoms still hadn’t improved, Jamie returned to his GP and discovered he actually had borderline personality disorder, known as BPD.
The causes of BPD are unclear, usually appearing to result from a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Most will have experienced some kind of trauma or neglect as children.
