| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr RT @Meandmymhmatter: @CarlDunnJr Hi. My favourite time of year is usually spring or autumn. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr I think when I grew up in Illinois my favorite season was summer. Now that I live in Houston my favorite seasons are spring and fall - summer here is too hot. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr RT @msophie113: |
 | The frozen borderline @wistful_willow RT @CarlDunnJr: Before #BPDChat : Before #BPDChat : "Now Matters Now" is a great website with videos explaining DBT skills that can be helpful to anyone with suicidal thoughts (and/or emotional distress). #SPSM https://t.co/g6zls5Hele |

| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @MindBrill Hi! Welcome to the chat. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @JeamesSailor Hi! I like spring and fall best, too, but because the weather is the mildest and nicest where I live (Houston). #BPDChat |

| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @ltniita Hi! Welcome to the chat. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr I'm glad to see everybody here for the chat. Going onto the tonight's main topic. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr Tonight's topic is... What Masks Do You Wear?' (Do You Feel You Can Be Yourself?) #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr Do you feel you have to wear a mask with other people (or no)? #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr RT @msophie113: |
 | ᴮᴱ jaqui ⁷ 🌙 @_lacrim0sa yes, sometimes is better like that #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr RT @_lacrim0sa: yes, sometimes is better like that #BPDChat |
| BPD365 @bpd365 @CarlDunnJr Yes, I’m struggling with morbid obsessive thoughts which means I have to switch medications. I’m hoping to keep my Ok mask on straight at work while I do that. #bpdchat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @hom3rjfong Hi! Thanks for sharing this... welcome to the chat. #BPDChat |
 | The OAKS Initial Teacher Training @InitialOaks RT @CarlDunnJr: "A Family Guide to BPD" videos (5-video series) show how people w/ BPD & their families recover from BPD. @bpdvideo #BPDChat #SPSM https://t.co/3zliK0hTqR |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @_lacrim0sa Hi! Welcome to the chat. Why is it better? #BPDChat |
| The OAKS Initial Teacher Training @InitialOaks RT @CarlDunnJr: If you're in the UK, check out Crisis Text Line's new UK affiliate. #BPDChat https://t.co/KFyE2qxyVG |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @ThatBWord1 Why would you say you have to? #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @MSophiaBPDfight That sounds exhausting... #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @LLLChick Hi! Thanks for sharing this... and welcome to the chat. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr RT @BPDFamily: |
| Meandmymhmatters BA (Hons) @Meandmymhmatter @CarlDunnJr Yep. I feel I have to show people I'm OK #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @BPDFamily That sounds wise. What do you think needs to be done to "unmask"? Have you learned anything you would tell other people? #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr RT @ShoutyShyGirl: @CarlDunnJr Yes, I’m struggling with morbid obsessive thoughts which means I have to switch medications. I’m hoping to keep my Ok mask on straight at work while I do that. #bpdchat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr RT @SamiaOnTheNet: |
| ᴮᴱ jaqui ⁷ 🌙 @_lacrim0sa @CarlDunnJr Hello because not everyone understand, and sometimes they just laugh at you or make some jokes so you end up feeling worse. also we all want validation, so im afraid to show myself and feel like an clown #BPDChat |

| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @_lacrim0sa That makes sense - I think we all are afraid to show our true selves at times. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr RT @HoppyPelican: |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @HoppyPelican Hi! Do you have a sense as to why it goes unnoticed? Is the other person dense or is it something else? #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr RT @Meandmymhmatter: @CarlDunnJr Yep. I feel I have to show people I'm OK #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @MSophiaBPDfight I hear you. Do you have one mask you wear, or is it different depending on who's around you? #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @shelle7842 Hi! Thanks for sharing this. So, are you saying that part of the problem is your "self" and your preferences (likes & dislikes, for instance) change often? #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @psicalgiae Hi! Thanks for sharing this. Welcome to the chat. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr RT @BPDFamily: |
| Meandmymhmatters BA (Hons) @Meandmymhmatter @MindBrill @CarlDunnJr Oh yes me too #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @BPDFamily These seem like great skills to be practicing & learning. I think they can make a difference. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @KellyannNavarre Hi! Welcome back to the chat. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr RT @BPDFamily: |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @bazookalullaby Hi! Welcome to the chat. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr Do you wear a mask to be acceptable to other people? What causes you to feel the need to wear a mask? #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr Do you think everybody, whether they have a BPD label or not, wears a mask at some point? #BPDChat |
 | bpdvideo @bpdvideo @CarlDunnJr I believe we do... More often when interacting with people you are less familiar with. Less so when you are with people you feel most comfortable with. #BPDChat |
 | SheBrew (Jacaranda) @Jacaranga73 I almost never drop the mask in public. I never cry in public .. |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr Apparent competence is a term Marsha Linehan (DBT) came up with. #BPDChat 1/4 |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr Shari Manning says, "Apparent competence takes a number of different forms, but essentially it describes a pattern in which the person looks totally capable of solving the problems life presents but really is not." #BPDChat 2/4 |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr One facet of "apparent competence" is that one may appear fine & not in distress to others when they're really in distress & feel they're falling apart. This sometimes causes people's therapist or professional to not notice their distress. Have you experience this? #BPDChat 4/4 |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr Apparent competence is the idea that people with BPD label may sometimes appear able to cope with certain things, but at other times or in other situations they are not able to cope (their skills break down, for instance). #BPDChat 3/4 |
 | Sanford Jeames; DHA, FASCO(He, Him) @JeamesSailor @CarlDunnJr I've been told that I wear a mask. I guess it's due to necessity or expectation that I feel I have to reach. #BPDchat #disparities |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr Do you drop the mask with certain people? Do you wish you could drop the mask? #BPDChat |
 | Britty Wicked @wickedlittlesin Part of it is acceptance, and the other part is just survival. |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @jemmabrown Good point. #BPDChat |
 | Becky, just Becky. @ThatBWord1 RT @CarlDunnJr: Shari Manning says, "Apparent competence takes a number of different forms, but essentially it describes a pattern in which the person looks totally capable of solving the problems life presents but really is not." #BPDChat 2/4 |

| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @_rebelwitch Do you think we lose something when we don't show our true selves to others? #BPDChat |

| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr RT @bpdvideo: @CarlDunnJr I believe we do... More often when interacting with people you are less familiar with. Less so when you are with people you feel most comfortable with. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr RT @HoppyPelican: |
| Meandmymhmatters BA (Hons) @Meandmymhmatter @CarlDunnJr There have been people I've dropped the mask with sometimes but I don't think I ever drop it entirely. It just doesn't feel a safe thing to do or I worry that I'm hurting others #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @JaideeSucks @BPDFamily Hi! Thanks for sharing this. Welcome to the chat. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr This lack of a sense of self can lead to scanning the external environment for cues as to how to behave, what to think & feel. #BPDChat |
| ᴮᴱ jaqui ⁷ 🌙 @_lacrim0sa @CarlDunnJr 50/50 #BPDChat |
 | Maeve @Gremlinertia1 I didn't even realise this was recognised, though i know for sure it exists |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr Wearing a mask could have to do with not knowing who you are, or it could have to do with not wanting others to know who you actually are... #BPDChat 1/2 |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr What do you find most challenging about identity and knowing oneself? #BPDChat 2/2 |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr Someone mentioned to me that when they were working on recovery they felt like two different people at times. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr One person previously mentioned that journaling was helpful for them in knowing themselves. #BPDChat |
 | Queen of Something @law_lori I feel like if someone talks to me for any period of time, it will become apparent that I’m mentally ill #BPDChat |
| Meandmymhmatters BA (Hons) @Meandmymhmatter @CarlDunnJr I guess I'm scared people aren't going to like me and will leave me #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr "Accurate reflection" refers to telling other people what you're (accurately) thinking and feeling. It's hard for others to understand or validate you if they don't know how you're actually thinking and feeling. #BPDChat 1/2 |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr Do you think it would be helpful to be able to communicate how you're actually thinking and feeling to others? #BPDChat 2/2 |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr RT @unstablemabelx: |

| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr RT @BPDFamily: |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @MindBrill Yes... This can be very difficult for many people. The good news is that this is something we can practice and strengthen. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @MindBrill Yes, that makes sense. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr RT @HoppyPelican: |

| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr RT @HoppyPelican: |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @HoppyPelican I'm sorry it didn't go well. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @bonestobreak Hi! I'm sorry this happened to you. I hope you find #BPDChat a safer place. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr RT @HoppyPelican: |
| BPD365 @bpd365 @CarlDunnJr I can drop the mask with my husband. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @alwayspencil This sounds like a really good thing to do. Some people find that writing down and identifying their preferences (likes/dislikes) and values can help with strengthen their sense of self. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @MindBrill This is a really good point. It is okay to say how we think & feel, but as you say, it can be scary because it can make you feel vulnerable. #BPDChat |
| BPD365 @bpd365 @CarlDunnJr No, I don’t think they would feel good about me if they knew how I think. #BPDChat |
 | Alyse ✨ she/they @alyseruriani @CarlDunnJr I find that now I am a therapist-in-training, I become almost embarrassed or ashamed of the feelings and thoughts I have if my BPD flares up. (Which is usually once a month, because of #PME/#PMDD) #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @hom3rjfong I think this is understandable. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @smell12_bpd I hear you. This makes sense. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @hom3rjfong Yes, not being able to trust must make it very hard. #BPDChat |
| Alyse ✨ she/they @alyseruriani @CarlDunnJr And not because theres anything to be embarrassed about—it’s internalized stigma that has been amplified by this fear of being seen as incompetent for having lived experience. Which is an issue in its own right. #BPDChat |
