A mum who has tried to take her life 18 times wants people to know they are "not alone" after turning her life around.
Claire Hale, 37, was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder in 2021 but said she has struggled with her mental health since the age of 13. Claire said after an abusive relationship in her teenage years she would deal with stressful situations through self-harm.
For Claire everyday activities like the school run could cause her to self-harm. Claire claims she was passed from "pillar to post" by different doctors who would just "put her on medication".
