| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr RT @Juliebynight: |
 | ♡ Amanda ♡ @Glass1ncision Music, music soothes my soul but it's incredibly hard lately to switch from the emotional self pity to reach out to soothing techniques I usually sink because I've been in an incredible state of depression. #bpdchat |

| ♡ Amanda ♡ @Glass1ncision @CarlDunnJr I'm just now realizing how deeply I sank from where I used to be. It shocks me how hidden the depression was, usually you feel it right? Not so this time, it's like I sank into the lifestyle and was blinded to it. #bpdchat |

 | Lizzi @lizzispeaks @CarlDunnJr My weighted blanket, Harry Potter films, in my pj's! #BPDChat |
| ♡ Amanda ♡ @Glass1ncision @CarlDunnJr @KellyannNavarre How many dogs do you have Carl? #bpdchat |
| Jo @Jo_eupdrecovery @Glass1ncision Music is a good one at soothing for me too - but has to be the right sort at the right time! #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @Glass1ncision @KellyannNavarre 3 dogs. A 16 year old wheaten terrier, a 17 pound King Charles Cavalier - chihuahua mix, and a 10 pound chihuahua-Jack Russell mix. #BPDChat |
| ♡ Amanda ♡ @Glass1ncision Long walks sound incredible everyone, puppy and kitten pictures you can't go wrong there, having a soothing buddy, hobby, and reading also are wonderful techniques to use, and our fur babies are always key. #bpdchat |
| Lizzi @lizzispeaks @CarlDunnJr Oh and @LushLtd products! To self soothe! #BPDChat |
| ♡ Amanda ♡ @Glass1ncision @Jo_eupdrecovery I completely agree, it has to be the right genera at the right time. I have access to thousands of songs so I have that covered on my external hard drive plus there is always YouTube right? #bpdchat |
 | Queen of Something @law_lori I’m struggling rn I just got out of inpatient and finding it difficult to use my #dbt skills #BPDChat |

| Jo @Jo_eupdrecovery @lizzispeaks @CarlDunnJr Ooh yes, my weighted blanket soothes me too, even when I’ve tried everything else with no success it can have the desired effect! #BPDChat |
| Lizzi @lizzispeaks @Jo_eupdrecovery @CarlDunnJr It changed my life, it helps more than I ever imagined it would! Was definitely worth saving up for! #BPDChat |
| ♡ Amanda ♡ @Glass1ncision @law_lori Sorry to hear that you are struggling, skills can be overwhelming at times because of so many being available. Take it slow, one by one, find out what works for you and take what you need at that time while leaving the rest on the table for later. #bpdchat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr I guess it's time to move on to tonight's main topic. Thanks for all your responses. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr Tonight's topic is... I Avoid. Do You Avoid? - Overcoming Avoidance #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr I avoid at times. Do you avoid emotions or situations? #BPDChat |
| . @shireensbpdlife @CarlDunnJr I’m always avoiding, especially when I feel an emotion I don’t want I just suppress it until I explode. #BPDChat |
 | Gemma Luescher-Verseckas @GemmaLuescher @CarlDunnJr I was avoiding leaving the area of the Rehab center out of fear of having another mini stroke #bpdchat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr RT @shireensbpdlife: @CarlDunnJr I’m always avoiding, especially when I feel an emotion I don’t want I just suppress it until I explode. #BPDChat |
| Lizzi @lizzispeaks @CarlDunnJr I think I just learnt more and more to avoid difficult or triggering things without noticing and my life just got smaller and smaller #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr RT @Juliebynight: |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @GemmaLuescher I hear you. I think that's understandable. #BPDChat |
| Gemma Luescher-Verseckas @GemmaLuescher @CarlDunnJr Food, music and art #BPDChat |
| Jo @Jo_eupdrecovery @CarlDunnJr I avoid ALL the time! My therapist says I’m very skilled at it, haha! Seriously though, I avoid things that I fear I have no control over - sometimes that’s situations, sometimes it’s my emotions if I’m scared I won’t be able to deal with them. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @fadedgypsy1 I think it makes a lot of sense to be active and distract from worrying or ruminating about things. #BPDChat |
| Queen of Something @law_lori I need to get out of my head #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr RT @Juliebynight: |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @Juliebynight Yes. Usually when we try to avoid or suppress an emotion it just gets stronger. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @xmdmazingx I hear you. Does that work as a coping mechanism? Or no? #BPDChat |
| Queen of Something @law_lori I avoid self care and taking care of important issues like budgeting, making phone calls, dealing with insurance... #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @royalservile I hear you. How does that work for you? #BPDChat |
| Gemma Luescher-Verseckas @GemmaLuescher @CarlDunnJr Just trying to get back on track and back to life but need to pace myself. #bpdchat at least now I don’t have a heavy snoring roommate. Tears are still hitting at night. |

| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @spotsofme Hi! Welcome to the chat. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr Many times we avoid unpleasant or negative emotions. At times we are sensitive to criticism or worried about rejection, so we avoid situations. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr The action urge for the emotion of fear is to run away, to avoid anything that threatens our life or well-being. Often, we may avoid things that are uncomfortable or distressing, even though it's not life-threatening. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr Sometimes we avoid because of Black & White thinking: "If I can't do it perfectly, I don't want to do it at all." #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr Avoidance can prevent you from addressing your problems. Sometimes avoidance provides temporary relief, but causes longer term problems. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr If you avoid your emotions, try noticing your emotion & practice describing your emotion. #BPDChat |
| Meandmymhmatters BA (Hons) @Meandmymhmatter @CarlDunnJr I try to avoid things that scare me but may also help me. I also kind of avoid things like compliments as I don't feel I deserve them and I feel uncomfortable with them. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr Many people try to avoid emotion by suppressing their emotion or numbing out. This usually doesn't work well. #BPDChat 1/3 |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr If you have a habit of suppressing or avoiding emotions you may find a lot of your energy is taken up with that. #BPDChat 3/3 |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr Suppressing thoughts or emotions usually leads to increasing frequency and intensity of that thought or emotion. #BPDChat 2/3 |
| Meandmymhmatters BA (Hons) @Meandmymhmatter @CarlDunnJr Very much so. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @xmdmazingx This is great to hear. #BPDChat |

| E McQ @spotsofme #bpdchat #triggerwarning also actually I suppose a lot of self harm is a form of avoidance. Without detail some of my poorliest moments in this area have been avoidance related. |
