@CarlDunnJr It sort of cycles. It depends who or what the focus of my splitting is, or what has triggered an emotional flare up in me. If I disappoint myself, I rip myself to shreds. But it's always silent brooding. I try not to bother others by my judgements. #BPDChat

@BPDFFS Look up business self-help books about hiring. There's a famous quote from a business tycoon that the person you WANT to hire is the lazy person. They find the most efficient way to complete the job, so they can go back to being lazy. #BPDchat #DontJudgeYourself

@valeriewalsh19 Hi, Valerie! #BPDChat
Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr
Judging, for instance, saying "You are stupid" or "I am stupid" escalates emotions. If you instead accurately describe the situation, for instance, "I can't find my keys." emotions don't escalate to the same extent. #BPDChat

@Nontheborder Hi! Thanks for checking in. Take care of yourself. Hope you feel better soon. Reach out for support if you need it. #BPDChat
Dresden / ドレスデン 🕯🩸 @Effloress
@CarlDunnJr This is super helpful advice! Separating an initial emotional thought from the action that triggered it leaves room for self reflection and a moment to perhaps de-escalate. #BPDChat
Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr
Judging (or criticizing) ourselves or others can cause us not to see reality accurately. If you instead "Describe" things without judgments, then you tend to see reality more accurately. #BPDChat
scary jerry @AwkwardHandle
I like that a lot. Describe, rather than judge to keep emotions out of the equation. Since emotions are the issue with #BPD, this helps the math work out better. #BPDchat
Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr
@evrythinggbagel That's an interesting reason. Thanks for sharing. #BPDChat

@mellomeup Yes. I like to ask people: How would you treat a best friend in this situation? (They would usually be very caring & forgiving). Now, try treating yourself with the same kindness. #BPDChat

Example: (Judgment) Ralph is the worst person I've ever met, he's a terrible human being (and he stinks). - (Description) Ralph didn't pay me back the money he owes me and I'm upset with him. #BPDChat 1/2
Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr
In previous example, it would also be a judgment to say: Ralph is the nicest person I've ever met. He's perfect! - This "positive" judgment also escalates your emotions (and potentially could lead you to making a bad decision based on the intensity of your emotion. #BPDChat 2/2
Aurelia Cotta @AureliaCotta
@Borderline_OK Some things should be judged, like bigotry, cruelty, racism. Because reality exists and not everything is just a point of view. my couch is real, I'm real, using the N-word is racist. And it's a-ok to judge Nazis. non-extremists we let them clarify comments first #bpdchat
Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr
This is not telling you have to eliminate every single judgment, or else. This is saying that judgments offer cause us problems and reducing judging substantially can pay big dividends. #BPDChat
Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr
It helps not to assume you know what the other person is thinking & feeling. If someone cuts you off in traffic, you can be judgmental & think the worst of that person (they're a bad person, etc.). What else could be going on? #BPDChat
scary jerry @AwkwardHandle
@ragazzamygdala I swear sometimes I can smell a fresh diagnosis. My last girlfriend got a message from me about hanging out and getting coffee the INSTANT she sat down on her couch at home after getting released from a psych facility with a #BPD diagnosis. #bpdchat I have the shining.
Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr
Judgments can keep us stuck in being emotionally dysregulated, our emotions may not come down when we're judging. #BPDChat
scary jerry @AwkwardHandle
What's worse is that, after you step into the Total Perspective Vortex, you realize that, on a cosmic level, our worth is truly nothing. #BPDchat
Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr
Using descriptions instead of judgments can help us to see the world more accurately & to stay emotionally regulated. #BPDChat
Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr
How do you stop judging? One way: First of all, be mindful & notice when you use judgments. #BPDChat
Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr
Replacing judgments with descriptive words helps us bring emotions down and see things more accurately. #BPDChat
Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr
Saying "I lost my keys" rather than saying "I'm stupid!" is an example of describing factually rather than judging. #BPDChat
Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr
Saying "that painting is dreadful" is a judgment. Saying "that painting is blue & has thick brush strokes" is more descriptive. #BPDChat
Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr
An alternative to judgments is describing: "That painting is mostly blue, with heavy brush strokes" is a description. #BPDChat
Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr
@Your_raeofsun Hi! Thanks for sharing this! #BPDchat
Aurelia Cotta @AureliaCotta
@CarlDunnJr Yes....and descriptions can help and it's also important to know that when we say that every point of view is valid, we may be endorsing someone who is being harmful. A victim of sexual assault does not simply have a "point of view" and we need to validate that reality #bpdchat
Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr
@Your_raeofsun Ha! #BPDChat
Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr
Conversations with others go better when you can let go of judgments & speak non-judgmentally. #BPDChat
Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr
One way to notice how much you use judgments is to count them - spend a little time counting judgments when you notice them. #BPDChat
Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr
Judgments are not factual, they are an emotional way of looking at things in the world as either good or bad. #BPDChat
Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr
Preferences are fine to use & are different than judgments. "I prefer vanilla ice cream" is stating your preference. #BPDChat
scary jerry @AwkwardHandle
Easily, that's how. You and I are cut from the same cloth. We try to find people to "love" us, who loathe us to the same degree we loathe what we can piece together about our "selves." #BPDchat #whyistayed

@karinahagelin great idea #bpdchat

Noticing judgments, then re-stating judgments, and lessening judgments is a gradual project. It takes time and much practice - but it can be extremely beneficial. #BPDChat

Compassion and self-compassion can help lessen judgments. Here's a link to Kristin Neff's website on "self-compassion". #BPDChat https://t.co/04PKYIQ8ey

@CarlDunnJr I have seen therapists do this to patients when they assume all of the past events the patient is describing are "Exaggerated" and they validate the patients feelings, but quite clearly don't believe the event happened #bpdchat
