>> 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.
Assignment Personality Disorder
>> 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.
Narrator: RACHAEL HAS BEEN CUTTING HERSELF FOR FIFTEEN YEARS. NOW SHE HAS OVER TWO HUNDRED SCARS ON HER BODY.

Welcome to class
Hello class and welcome to the class and I will be your instructor for this course. This is a -week course and requires a lot of time commitment, organization, and a high level of dedication. Please use the class syllabus to guide you through all the assignments required for the course. I have also attached the classroom policies to this announcement to know your expectations for this course. Please review this document carefully and ask me any questions if you do. You could email me at any time or send me a message via the “message” icon in halo if you need to contact me. I check my email regularly, so you should get a response within 24 hours. If you have not heard from me within 24 hours and need to contact me urgently, please send a follow up text to.
I strongly encourage that you do not wait until the very last minute to complete your assignments. Your assignments in weeks 4 and 5 require early planning as you would need to present a teaching plan and interview a community health provider. I advise you look at the requirements for these assignments at the beginning of the course and plan accordingly. I have posted the YouTube link that explains all the class assignments in detail. It is required that you watch this 32-minute video as the assignments from week 3 through 5 require that you follow the instructions to the letter to succeed. Failure to complete these assignments according to instructions might lead to a zero. After watching the video, please schedule a one-on-one with me to discuss your topic for your project by the second week of class. Use this link to schedule a 15-minute session. Please, call me at the time of your appointment on my number. Please note that I will NOT call you.
Please, be advised I do NOT accept any assignments by email. If you are having technical issues with uploading an assignment, contact the technical department and inform me of the issue. If you have any issues that would prevent you from getting your assignments to me by the deadline, please inform me to request a possible extension. Note that working fulltime or overtime is no excuse for late assignments. There is a 5%-point deduction for every day your assignment is late. This only applies to approved extensions. Late assignments will not be accepted.
If you think you would be needing accommodations due to any reasons, please contact the appropriate department to request accommodations.
Plagiarism is highly prohibited. Please ensure you are citing your sources correctly using APA 7th edition. All assignments including discussion posts should be formatted in APA with the appropriate spacing, font, margin, and indents. Any papers not well formatted would be returned back to you, hence, I advise you review APA formatting style. I have attached a sample paper in APA format and will also post sample discussion responses in subsequent announcements.
Your initial discussion post should be a minimum of 200 words and response posts should be a minimum of 150 words. Be advised that I grade based on quality and not necessarily the number of words you post. A minimum of TWO references should be used for your initial post. For your response post, you do not need references as personal experiences would count as response posts. If you however cite anything from the literature for your response post, it is required that you cite your reference. You should include a minimum of THREE references for papers in this course. Please note that references should be no more than 5 years old except recommended as a resource for the class. Furthermore, for each discussion board question, you need ONE initial substantive response and TWO substantive responses to either your classmates or your instructor for a total of THREE responses. There are TWO discussion questions each week, hence, you need a total minimum of SIX discussion posts for each week. I usually post a discussion question each week. You could also respond to these as it would count towards your required SIX discussion posts for the week.
I understand this is a lot of information to cover in 5 weeks, however, the Bible says in Philippians 4:13 that we can do all things through Christ that strengthens us. Even in times like this, we are encouraged by God’s word that we have that ability in us to succeed with His strength. I pray that each and every one of you receives strength for this course and life generally as we navigate through this pandemic that is shaking our world today. Relax and enjoy the course!
