>> Narrator: RACHAEL KAVANAGH IS PREPARING FOR AN EVENT SHE NEVER DREAMED WOULD HAPPEN. ON SATURDAY SHE’S GETTING MARRIED. IT’S BEEN A DIFFICULT ADJUSTMENT BECAUSE SHE HAD SOMETHING ELSE IN MIND.
>> THE PLAN WAS TO BE DEAD BY THIRTY. I GAVE MYSELF NO MORE TIME THAN THAT. I WAS ENTIRELY SICK OF DISAPPOINTMENT, I WAS SICK OF LETTING MYSELF DOWN AND I WAS TIRED OF TRYING TO IMPRESS OTHER PEOPLE, UNDERSTAND THESE EMOTIONS. I WAS JUST TIRED AND IT’S SO, IT’S LONELY HAVING THIS DISORDER. IT’S JUST INCREDIBLY LONELY.
>> Narrator: SINCE HER TEENS, RACHAEL HAS BEEN BATTLING WITH BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER, AN EMOTIONAL BEHAVIOR OR PROBLEM THAT CAN BE SO DIFFICULT TO LIVE WITH LIFE CAN SEEM LIKE IT SIMPLY ISN’T WORTH LIVING. WHILE RACHAEL’S PLANS TO BE DEAD BY THIRTY DIDN’T COME OFF, FOR ANOTHER WOMAN THE PAIN OF LIVING WITH THE SAME CONDITION PROVED TOO MUCH. ON A COLD, MID-WINTER NIGHT, JULY 2003, 53 YEAR OLD MARIA DE SILVA TOOK HER LIFE IN A DRAMATIC AND SHOCKING WAY IN AOTEA SQUARE.
>> (DISPATCHER): WAITING FOR A REPORT TO COME OF A PERSON ON FIRE.
>> Narrator: EMERGENCY SERVICES RACED TO SAVE THE WOMAN WHO SET FIRE TO HERSELF, BUT IT WAS TOO LATE. THIS IS THE STORY OF TWO WOMEN’S STRUGGLE WITH A TERRIBLE CHOICE. MARIA DE SILVA WAS A GIFTED OPERA SINGER, FORMER ATHLETE, AND TIRELESS CAMPAIGNER FOR GOOD CAUSES. ONE OF THOSE CAMPAIGNS WAS TO HIGHLIGHT THE SUFFERING OF THOSE WITH BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER, THE CONDITION THAT LED HER TO TAKE HER OWN LIFE. THAT’S HOW RACHAEL KAVANAGH FIRST CAME TO HEAR OF HER.
>> I WAS READING A WOMAN’S WEEKLY AND SAW IN THE HIDDEN BORD-LINE, AND THAT WAS SHORTLY AFTER I THINK I’D BEEN DIAGNOSED, AND IT WAS REALLY QUITE LOVELY TO SEE SOMEBODY TALKING OPENLY ABOUT THE DISORDER BECAUSE UP UNTIL THEN I’D REALLY SAID NOTHING ABOUT IT. SO I CONTACTED HER, AND SHE WAS PRETTY MUCH RIGHT FROM THE START A WEALTH OF INFORMATION, BUT SHE MADE ME FEEL QUITE NORMAL FOR A TIME BEING.
>> Narrator: SHARING THEIR EXPERIENCES OF THE ILLNESS BROUGHT RACHAEL AND MARIA TOGETHER. THROUGH MARIA, RACHAEL BECAME AWARE OF JUST HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAD THE DISORDER. IT’S ESTIMATED THAT AROUND THIRTY THOUSAND PEOPLE IN NEW ZEALAND HAVE BORDERLINE PERSONALITIES.
>> HELLO, DAVID SPEAKING. OK, OK, SLOW IT DOWN A LITTLE BIT. SO IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU’RE FEELING REALLY UPSET AT THE MOMENT. TELL ME WHAT’S HAPPENED. OK, OK.
>> Narrator: DAVID SEMP IS A PSYCHOLOGIST AT SAINT LUKES MENTAL HEALTH CENTER IN AUCKLAND. HE SPECIALIZES IN TREATING PEOPLE WITH THIS DIAGNOSIS.
>> THE KEY THING WITH BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER IS A PROBLEM WITH EMOTIONS, WITH EXTREME EMOTIONS, AND MUCH MORE EXTREME THAN THE AVERAGE PERSON AND WITHIN ANY GIVEN DAY SOMEONE WITH THIS DISORDER CAN GO FROM FEELING OK TO SUDDENLY SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN AND THEY’LL FEEL TERRIBLE, THEY’LL FELL REALLY ANGRY, OR THEY’LL FEEL REALLY ABANDONED, OR THEY’LL FEEL REALLY SAD OR LONELY OR HOPELESS, ANY NUMBER OF THINGS. AND IT CAN BE TRIGGERED BY MANY, MANY DIFFERENT AREAS OF THEIR LIVES. BECAUSE THEY RESPOND SO STRONGLY TO IT, THAT OFTEN MAKES WHATEVER HAPPENED IN THE FIRST PLACE MUCH WORSE. SO IF IT WAS IN THE CONTEXT OF A RELATIONSHIP, IS THAT GOING TO FEEL LIKE THEY’RE ABOUT TO BE ABANDONED, OR THAT SOMEBODY HATES THEM, WHEN IT FACT THEY’RE JUST A LITTLE BIT ANNOYED WITH THEM.
>> I SABOTAGED RELATIONSHIPS, FRIENDSHIPS. I WOULD FIND BOUNDARIES WITHIN RELATIONSHIPS, TO SAY THAT WERE UNBEARABLY PAINFUL, OF COURSE WE GET KIND OF SICK OF THAT AND END UP GOING AWAY FROM YOU, WHICH IS THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT YOU WANT.
>> Narrator: RACHAEL HAS BEEN WITH SY FOR OVER TWO YEARS NOW. AS IT IS FOR OTHERS IN THIS POSITION, COPING WITH THE DISORDER HAS BEEN A CHALLENGE FOR THEM BOTH.
>> WE’LL HAVE AN ARGUMENT AND I WOULD JUST COMPLETELY GO OFF THE DEEP END, AND HE’LL BE THINKING, WELL, HELL, I JUST CHANGED THE CHANNEL AT THE WRONG TIME, YOU KNOW, WHERE AS I’M THINKING HE DOESN’T CARE WHAT I’M LOOKING AT AND JUST GO THROUGH ALL THOSE, DEALING WITH IT. YOU’VE GOT TO BE SO AWARE, AWARE YOUR EMOTIONS ARE SOMERSAULTING TOO.
>> IT’S VERY DISTRESSING TO LIVE LIKE THIS, AND SO TO DEAL WITH THE DISTRESS OF THESE EXTREMES OF EMOTION PEOPLE WITH BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER OFTER SELF HARM AS A WAY OF COPING WITH THAT, SO THEY MIGHT BURN OR THEY MIGHT CUT.
