@jaklumen #BPDChat @jaklumen my identity seems to change on a day-to-day basis - but I long to have a fixed identity so I can find My People.
RJ Wood @RJ_in_the_Wood
3/3 When it comes to values though... I seem to have trouble identifying where I stand (as opposed to where I was raised to stand) #BPDChat https://t.co/0mxcMEs5rg
Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr
Self-identity involves having a stable sense of self, a sense of your preferences, your values, and your world view. #BPDchat
Rebecca #youarenotalone @cujokillerpug
@jaklumen It it always pushing one idea or another and it does not fit most people. BPD makes it hard enough with out it.#BPDChat

#BPDChat it can lead you into identities you never really wanted. I find myself child-free, single and seemingly unable to not be that.
Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr
Without a solid sense of self, one's identity can be about who you're with or what you're doing in the moment. #BPDChat

@Alice_DBT So true - AND when ppl act like you "changed" due to dx, treatment or whatever, end up doubting yrself? #BPDChat

Has having a changing identity caused you problems with relationships or caused you to change employment? #BPDChat

One person previously mentioned that journaling was helpful for them in knowing themselves. #BPDChat

Do you wear different masks depending on the situation or the person you're with? #BPDChat
RJ Wood @RJ_in_the_Wood
Sometimes. I was taught, omissions a form of lying; so I feel like in order to be the real me, I need to be all of me @ once.. 1/2 #BPDchat https://t.co/T35d6fr9bK
downtrodden 👣 @annecremin
RT @iamfinenoreally: #BPDChat there is a lot of pressure to identify very specifically. As a Borderline the sense of identity is relentlessly fluid.
Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr
@jaklumen I think that could be. Integration seems to be a good goal, I would think. #BPDChat

2/2 ...but I dont know how to be all of me @ once, 'cause there is so much thats me, that I dont know how to make it work together. #BPDChat https://t.co/5gDoetF1Hi
Borderline OK @Borderline_OK
That… that's not a values list, it's a dictionary! Also (ignoring corporate terms) seems VERY general/universal, could apply to all #BPDChat https://t.co/O5OVdLr4PJ

@CarlDunnJr There are situations where you don't need people to know you battle with a form of MI - when you are advertising about your art. #BPDchat

@OfficialBPDChat #BPDchat Hi!

@CarlDunnJr Due to horrid trust issues with men, I tend to until I get to know them well. #BPDChat
Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr
references, or knowing what you like or don't like, is important for a sense of self & identity. #BPDChat
Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr
To help develop a sense of self, notice and assert your preferences: notice and develop your "likes & dislikes". #BPDChat
Gemma Luescher-Verseckas @GemmaLuescher
@CarlDunnJr Or there are just times you don't need the whole cafe staring at you when someone tells you to pray away your illness. #BPDChat
Floyd @iamfinenoreally
@CarlDunnJr #BPDChat isn't it human to do that to a degree? I find I do opposite and just try and disappear in plain sight.
RJ Wood @RJ_in_the_Wood
This is good advice @CarlDunnJr. I tend to practice humility too much and always give way to almost everyone else's preference. #BPDChat https://t.co/pCEc1yMZSZ

downtrodden 👣 @annecremin
'diff masks' - was terrible @ this in first yr of uni. Trying to stop but still sometimes realise have diff voices for diff groups #BPDChat
Borderline OK @Borderline_OK
@TracieJayne_ Precisely - and I can see some (eg devout) that aren't 1-size-fits-all but I could scrub half the list & put "being nice" instead! #BPDChat
Floyd @iamfinenoreally
nighty night y'all - it was great to be a part of #BPDChat
Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr
It can be helpful to practice self-acceptance - accepting the various "parts" of you - with compassion. #BPDChat

@CarlDunnJr vs. who I want people to think I am. It's been rough, but we're getting there. (2/2) #BPDchat
Gemma Luescher-Verseckas @GemmaLuescher
Because I am mostly in an environment where all of us have a mental illness of sorts there is nothing to hide. #bpdchat
Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr
@iamfinenoreally Good night. I'm glad you were part of tonight's chat. #BPDchat
downtrodden 👣 @annecremin
After a bit that's impossible to keep up & altogether diff masks leads to me feeling like imposter pretending to fit in; not nice #BPDChat

Agreed; I've noticed my "nope" moments more, tried to assert, at times ended up feeling like it got me nowhere but judged #BPDChat https://t.co/rhLhpHKQqe
