Wales and Saracens rugby player Donna Rose discusses living with borderline personality disorder, which she says causes intense self-doubt, emotional reactions and fear of abandonment. Diagnosed at 21 after a mental health crisis, Rose manages her symptoms with medication, rugby and support from teammates and staff. She credits rugby with helping channel her emotions and believes the condition has strengthened her discipline as a player. Rose also speaks openly about motherhood and hopes her experience will show that people with mental health disorders can thrive.
