 | Meandmymhmatters BA (Hons) @Meandmymhmatter @CarlDunnJr Hey. My favourite way is to sit with one of my pets. #BPDChat |
| bpdvideo @bpdvideo 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 @madeleinesteel Hi! I think music is a great coping skill, to either help one soothe oneself (or change mood or emotion) and also helpful for distracting oneself. #BPDChat |

 | Gemma Luescher-Verseckas @GemmaLuescher @CarlDunnJr I tend to like quieter rooms, and if I am home, binge watch YouTube. I was having some tougher days when I was in the Reha center. If it's really bad I will take some meds and or just try to sleep it off. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @KellyannNavarre Self-soothing with the 5 senses is really a great way to cope with things. #BPDChat |

| Gemma Luescher-Verseckas @GemmaLuescher Well I asked my psych about reducing my meds- she is really wary of reducing the seroquel as the dosage of 300 seems to be the magic dosage- she found with other patients the reduction caused the return of bad symptoms like increased dissociative states. #BPDChat |

| Gemma Luescher-Verseckas @GemmaLuescher @CarlDunnJr Quieter rooms with lots of sunlight. I find the electrical lights bother me, and natural light reminds me of good people, or safer places. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr Thanks for sharing, everyone. Going on to the main topic. (Keep your ways of self-soothing or distracting coming...). #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr Tonight's topic is... How Do You Cope in a Crisis? #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr Do you have ways to cope when you're upset or in a crisis? Do you have ways to help your friends when they're in a crisis? #BPDChat #SPSM |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr A crisis could be anything from losing your keys to feeling in emotional distress or feeling suicidal. Is there a type of crisis that you deal with often? ...Or is very difficult for you? #BPDChat |
| 🏳️⚧️G Collerone (he-him) 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️⚾⚾️ @midnightdemon__ #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @midnightdemon2 Hi, G! #BPDChat |
| Gemma Luescher-Verseckas @GemmaLuescher @brain_bpd @CarlDunnJr Spanish is pretty cool language- I need to practice it with a neighbour. She would get a kick out of my r's and y's its been ages since I took Spanish. #BPDchat if I ever move from this suite it will need a bathtub. |

| Meandmymhmatters BA (Hons) @Meandmymhmatter @CarlDunnJr I struggle to get help in a crisis. I don't feel I deserve it and I don't want to take care of myself. I loathe myself normally so this is escalated in times of crisis #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr RT @mira113: |
| 🏳️⚧️G Collerone (he-him) 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️⚾⚾️ @midnightdemon__ @CarlDunnJr Crap i am rusty! Hi Carl #BPDChat |

| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @mira113 Thanks for sharing. It's good to have a crisis line # or # of a friend to call when you need support. Also, distress tolerance skills work. Is there a particular coping skill you recommend? #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr RT @shoutywhisper: |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr RT @mira113: |
| 🏳️⚧️G Collerone (he-him) 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️⚾⚾️ @midnightdemon__ @CarlDunnJr #BPDChat TW this might not be kosher, but often times planning my escape helps to contain my suicidal urges when I am in paralyzing pain (physical). Unfortunately, sending my psych an email about this lead to my current admission. Think this is no. 40 for me 🤷♂️ |
| Meandmymhmatters BA (Hons) @Meandmymhmatter @CarlDunnJr Feeling suicidal happens quite a lot for me. It is something that is on a scale though. And it depends on where I am on the scale what I can do. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @mira113 This sounds very helpful. Listening and validating is supportive and helpful to almost everyone. (We all have a deep human need to be heard and understood by others - validation). #BPDChat |
 | broken @BillGlennon2 @CarlDunnJr #bpdchat Meditation, isolating, smoking weed, going to the bar, spending too much on stuff - usually big-ticket stuff, and saving other people from the consequences of their own decisions. Yes, I know... |

| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @StopTXSuicides Hi! Thanks for the shoutout. We're trying to do a topic each week this month that is helpful to preventing suicide. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @Meandmymhmatter I think you're not the only person here who struggles with feeling like they don't deserve help. I wonder if anyone has suggestions about how to get over that? #BPDChat |
| Gemma Luescher-Verseckas @GemmaLuescher @StopTXSuicides @CarlDunnJr When my girlfriend is in a crisis, I offer tea, a talk and a bed to crash for a few hours. Or I go to visit if she is at a clinic. I have had a different type of crisis than previous years and I am trying so hard to rebuild, and cope with higher levels of anxiety #BPDChat |

| 🏳️⚧️G Collerone (he-him) 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️⚾⚾️ @midnightdemon__ @Meandmymhmatter @CarlDunnJr #BPDChat I do the same. Only person I will only reach out to is my psych. I don't even feel comfortable with the new therapist. Friends (except twitter) often don't get it. I get invalidated so often I just don't bother anymore |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @law_lori That should be helpful. #BPDChat |
 | Queen of Something @law_lori I need to vent when I’m in crisis bc when it’s outside my head I can make more sense of it #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr RT @mira113: |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @brain_bpd I think letting the person know you're available for them can be so helpful. #BPDChat |

| 🏳️⚧️G Collerone (he-him) 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️⚾⚾️ @midnightdemon__ @CarlDunnJr #BPDChat physical pain is a major trigger for me more than depression/ptsd/psychache. Even the turmoil I live with sometimes out ranks the pain but my family can trigger intense unwantedness |
| Gemma Luescher-Verseckas @GemmaLuescher My latest thing that is getting me anxious is my painting. Like I can't do some of the technical stuff like I used to and therefore avoiding things I normally would try or do. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @madeleinesteel Hi! I hear you. Some people find having distress tolerance skills sometimes averts a crisis. You might find that creating a safety plan (if you don't have one) could be very helpful. I'll tweet out a link to a website that helps with that in a minute. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr Here's a decent overview of various Distress Tolerance skills that you can use when in crisis. #BPDChat #SPSM #SPM19 https://t.co/gE29YQtVOk |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr It's good to have a plan as to what to do and where to turn when you're upset or in a crisis or need support. #BPDChat #SPSM |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr It's good to cope ahead & have phone numbers of friends or family you can call when you're upset or need support. #BPDChat #SPSM |
| 🏳️⚧️G Collerone (he-him) 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️⚾⚾️ @midnightdemon__ @mira113 @CarlDunnJr In hosp they gave me a DBT thingy with all the stuff in it. I've been picking & choosing those I like and what I don't. Don't know if I will practice this but it is there #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr Also, it's good to have the number of a crisis line in your phone so you can call when you need support. #BPDChat #SPSM |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr Search for numbers for "warm lines". These are support lines where you can talk to a peer - someone you can relate to... #peersupport #BPDChat #SPSM |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr Here's a link to 5 free transcripts of Marsha Linehan DBT skill videos. Select 'Distracting and Self-Soothing' or 'Improving the Moment and Pros & Cons' to read about good Distress Tolerance skills. #BPDChat #SPSM #SPM19 https://t.co/HZGFNiBVVj |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr What kind of crisis do you often face? If you find yourself in emotional distress, you might figure out Distress Tolerance skills you can use (see DBT Distress Tolerance skills). #BPDChat 1/3 |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr If you're sometimes suicidal then it's a good idea to have phone numbers of supportive friends or crisis lines that you can call. It can also be valuable to create a safety plan to keep yourself safe. #BPDChat 2/3 |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr This excellent website has videos & documents that show you how to create your own Safety Plan. @AlysColeKing #BPDChat #SPSM 3/3 https://t.co/iVIdU21KLS |
| 🏳️⚧️G Collerone (he-him) 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️⚾⚾️ @midnightdemon__ @mira113 @jongwoonscloudx @CarlDunnJr Find it easier to text someone #bpdchat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @IamCarrieagain This is really helpful (and hopeful). Thanks for sharing. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr RT @mira113: |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @mira113 @Meandmymhmatter I think this is really good advice! #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr Good advice #BPDChat #SPSM #SPM19 https://t.co/x70okXP60P |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @brain_bpd @madeleinesteel Wow. That's a neat idea. #BPDChat |
| 🏳️⚧️G Collerone (he-him) 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️⚾⚾️ @midnightdemon__ @mira113 @CarlDunnJr If there is a DBT counseling place they will have groups as it is part of the program #BPDChat not sure where you are but it can be difficult finding a DBT therapist but also as it is so broad now sometimes you don't need a group. |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @madeleinesteel It makes sense that it's difficult. Have you tried TIP skills? #BPDChat |
| Meandmymhmatters BA (Hons) @Meandmymhmatter @mira113 @CarlDunnJr I have a crisis plan drawn up I just fail at using it #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr NowMattersNow also has a Safety Plan Guide. @ursulawhiteside #BPDChat #SPSM 2/2 https://t.co/6JHlvdkmtj |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr NowMattersNow is an excellent website for dealing emotional distress or feeling suicidal. NowMattersNow has what they call their "Emotional Fire Safety Plan". Take a look... @ursulawhiteside #BPDChat #SPSM 1/2 https://t.co/F2NZ81KE0y |

 | jobu tupak¡ @helovampirehoe @CarlDunnJr TW I often think (whenever something goes wrong) that i don’t deserve the things i have or that they’re not mine at all. It gives me suicidal thoughts most of the times. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr ASK: Know where & how to refer the person for help & support. Get a professional (if possible). Have a crisis line number handy - they can help. #BPDChat 4/4 |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr ASK: Ask the question: "Are you thinking of killing yourself?". If 'yes', seek more info & keep the person safe. #BPDChat 3/4 |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr ASK: Asking about suicide doesn't put the thought in someone's head & it could make the difference. #BPDChat 2/4 |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr If someone you know is in emotional distress, it's okay to ask if they're suicidal. #BPDChat 1/4 |
| 🏳️⚧️G Collerone (he-him) 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️⚾⚾️ @midnightdemon__ @Meandmymhmatter @mira113 @CarlDunnJr Same #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @helovampirehoe Hi! I'm sorry to hear that. Is there anything you've found that helps with that? #BPDChat |
| jobu tupak¡ @helovampirehoe @CarlDunnJr I usually just wait it out, cry as much as i need to and turn to kind words from my girlfriend. #BPDChat |
| Gemma Luescher-Verseckas @GemmaLuescher @CarlDunnJr TW I got asked that earlier this month when I admitted to the urges of self harm- my answer could let my psych nurse rest a bit easier.- no I was not suicidal just craving self harm to help cope with the tension levels in my body. #bpdchat I ended up not harming at all. |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr If you're in the U.S., put the Natl. Suicide Prevention Lifeline number in your phone: 1-800-237-8255 https://t.co/uEeqs0J4Vy #BPDChat #SPSM 1/2 |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr We sometimes don't realize that if we're supporting someone else who's suicidal we can call the crisis line #, too. #BPDChat #SPSM 2/2 |
| bpdvideo @bpdvideo RT @CarlDunnJr: We sometimes don't realize that if we're supporting someone else who's suicidal we can call the crisis line #, too. #BPDChat #SPSM 2/2 |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @GemmaLuescher That's good to know. #BPDChat |
| Gemma Luescher-Verseckas @GemmaLuescher @CarlDunnJr I got asked by the neurologist when I had my 3rd mini stroke because I was in tears and truly frustrated, -I told her I am a fighter, frustrated, dizzy, light sensitive, they let me sleep off a couple days. I needed to mourn in a way. #bpdchat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr Does anyone have more thoughts about what has helped them in a crisis? I think a lot of what you've said is very helpful. #BPDChat |
| Gemma Luescher-Verseckas @GemmaLuescher @CarlDunnJr I was mad at myself that I was even contemplating self harm again after 6 years. #bpdchat but I allowed it to cross my mind. And consider it , but I asked myself the question of me forgiving myself, or needing others to forgive me. I couldn't forgive myself so I didn't. |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr Another look at using DBT Distress Tolerance skills with the "TIP" skill (Blog post). The TIP (or TIPP) skill can be very valuable when you're in distress. Check this out for something quick... #BPDChat https://t.co/YIgpKoMdVH |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr DBT Distress Tolerance skills help to get through a crisis without making it worse with a problematic behavior. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr There are a variety of DBT Distress Tolerance skills that you can use to get through a crisis including STOP skill, TIPP skill, etc #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @IamCarrieagain This sounds helpful. I think it's good to remember you're connected with other people. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr "Urge surfing" has you 'surf' your urge or emotion (notice without acting). Wait until urge or emotion diminishes (usually 45 mins) #BPDChat 2/2 |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr "Urge surfing" can be effective when in distress. "Sit on your hands" (do nothing), surf the urge or emotion until it diminishes. #BPDChat 1/2 |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr You could make a list and carry it with you of ways you can self-soothe or distract. You could list 100's of ways to do both. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr A suggestion about how you might use the DBT 'STOP' skill in a crisis. #BPDChat https://t.co/8lR8SLdnPy |
| Gemma Luescher-Verseckas @GemmaLuescher @IamCarrieagain @CarlDunnJr Exactly, ( and I had some big pieces of glass kicking around in my recycle bin at the time) I learned that the feelings could come and that I had every reason to feel the way I did. But I let people know I was really struggling and that was what helped me through. #bpdchat |
| bpdvideo @bpdvideo RT @CarlDunnJr: "Urge surfing" can be effective when in distress. "Sit on your hands" (do nothing), surf the urge or emotion until it diminishes. #BPDChat 1/2 |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @S0ulfulG0ddess Thanks for sharing what works for you. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @law_lori Yes, I agree with that. #BPDChat |
