Me And The Voice In My Head

Ten years ago, Joe Tracini, former Hollyoaks actor turned viral sensation, was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder, a condition that around 2% of the country will live with at some point in their lives. BPD severely effects how a person thinks and feels about themselves and other people, leading to intense, unstable emotions, chronic insecurity and intrusive thoughts; and Joe has become known for his very honest sketches about the subject on social media.

Bravely allowing cameras into his life, Joe introduces us to Mick - the constant voice inside his head. The programme will show how Mick feeds Joe negative thoughts and often encourages him to hurt himself - through scenes in which Joe himself plays Mick, appearing on screen alongside his 'real' self.

In other parts of the documentary, Joe speaks to his family, loved ones and experts in BPD, in order to gain more understanding into his condition, and try to make his life more liveable - though Mick is never far away.

The documentary offers insight into Joe's battles with addiction and past traumas, and his dreams of pulling off a stand-up comedy show that will reignite his career on stage.
