On Monday, May 13, 2024, Channel 4 will air “Me and the Voice in My Head,” a documentary that follows Joe Tracini, a former Hollyoaks actor who has become a viral sensation. Ten years ago, Joe was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), a mental health condition that affects approximately 2% of the population. BPD significantly impacts an individual’s thoughts, emotions, and relationships, often resulting in intense and unstable feelings, chronic insecurity, and intrusive thoughts.
In this honest and revealing documentary, Joe introduces viewers to Mick, the voice inside his head that constantly seeks to cause him harm. Over the past decade, Joe has struggled with drug and alcohol addiction, attempted suicide six times, and experienced a staggering twelve panic attacks on stage, bringing his comedy career to a standstill. Now, Joe hopes to confront his past, understand his BPD, and restart his career by performing a stand-up comedy show. However, the question remains: will Mick derail his efforts?
The documentary offers a raw and intimate look into Joe’s life as he grapples with the challenges posed by BPD. By exploring his childhood and the origins of Mick, Joe aims to gain a deeper understanding of his condition and find a path toward recovery and a brighter future.
Don’t miss “Me and the Voice in My Head” on Channel 4 at 10.00 p.m. on Monday, May 13, 2024.
