Borderline

In this episode, we talked with Samb and his wife, Mary. Samb struggled with an undiagnosed case of Borderline Personality disorder until his 40's. To his friends and those who knew him, Samb was intelligent, funny, a skilled craftsman, and an all around superb guy. But there was a dark side. Most people never saw this side of him that included intense shifts in mood and affect, usually toward anger and rage. When these intense shifts in mood set in, Samb said it was like driving down a highway and hitting a wall of torrential rain. There is little to no warning of what's coming and he was completely captive to it. Samb did his best to hold it all in and never became violent, but the guilt and depression that followed an outburst became too much to bear. Mary noticed Samb's habits of reclusiveness and inner turmoil. This story is about how they journeyed through this confusion, found clarity, and got help.
