@wayne24536203 Hi! Yes, it's not specific. What do you care about? What's important to you? I I guess I would say: Relationships, the work I do, and being with my dogs while I have them are meaningful things to me. #BPDChat

@TracieJayne_ #BPDChat... @CarlDunnJr mentioned we're chatting about ruminating tonight. If "default mode network" comes up, listen closely.
Gemma Luescher-Verseckas @GemmaLuescher
I got my daily love newsletter from @mast in kip about Trauma and learned helplessness. It was getting me angry as it further stigmatize send dealing with Trauma. And dealing with other aspects of Mentalhealth issues. There is no learned helplessness in PTSD #bpdchat

It made me to angry to write though. I need time to cool down and get a clear head( really hard when I am triggered a lot this last couple weeks. But definitely will write a reaction to his Lat two email letters. #bpdchat
Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr
Time to switch to tonight's main topic. #BPDChat
Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr
Tonight's topic is... Worrying and Ruminating #BPDChat
Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr
Worrying is thinking a lot about real or imagined problems. Do you worry a lot? #BPDChat
♡ Amanda ♡ @Glass1ncision
Animal rescue. Meet my newest member of my fur-family. Cimba. He and his brothers were found thrown away in a dumpster, no mother in sight. My friend fostered them w/ her female and I adopted this little guy about 2 weeks ago. #bpdchat https://t.co/lac3P8w2Cv
Gemma Luescher-Verseckas @GemmaLuescher
@CarlDunnJr I love how my cat greets me when I come home from the studio, full purr, and loving her head being pet. #bpdchat or when she curls up on me at night, the vibrations from her purring is soooooo relaxing
Meandmymhmatters BA (Hons) @Meandmymhmatter
@CarlDunnJr I think I worry a lot. I tend to catastrophise #BPDChat

@ajcan36 @Phumlani_Kango @CarlDunnJr Glad you don't struggle with anxiety #BPDChat
Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr
@FieldingPolly Yes, as we'll mention, many people find noticing they are doing it (worrying, ruminating) is valuable in being able to possibly do something different. Do you have anything that helps? #BPDChat
♡ Amanda ♡ @Glass1ncision
And this is Chico with Cimba, he's a good big brother and my boy. I got him from an kill animal shelter. He's the light of my life. #Bpdchat https://t.co/hnLDUnRAHe

Ruminating -- my life with #bpd summed up quite well in this statement #bpdchat
Gemma Luescher-Verseckas @GemmaLuescher
@CarlDunnJr I am a mother I think worry and ruminating is part of it. But I do tend to worry more about my son's mental health. And his Gp's lack of understanding about the dynamics of his illness. #BPDChat
♡ Amanda ♡ @Glass1ncision
I hate when I get obsessively focused on a certain topic and it festers and festers and blows up to be a huge ordeal then it really is because I create the problems in my head. #bpdchat
Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr
Ruminating is repetitively going over & over things - it can lead to catastrophizing - thinking that things are much worse than they actually are. #BPDChat
Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr

Often when we start moving into black & white thinking (all or nothing thinking) we start catastrophizing.#BPDChat
NeverwillFall17 @Neverwillfall16
@CarlDunnJr My worse thing is when I quantify a mistake I made leading me to a fear of mine happening such as a close friend abandoning me or my freedoms being further restricted I convince myself that it's actually a realistic concern #BPDChat
Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr
@AeroDynamik88 That's good advice. If I'm able to notice I'm doing it then I sometimes am able to step back and slow down. Then I may be able to check the facts and see what's really going on. #BPDChat
Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr
Does anyone find that perfectionism is part of their ruminating or catastrophizing? #BPDChat
Gemma Luescher-Verseckas @GemmaLuescher
#bpdchat if triggered I ruminate and lose sleep ( even if I took my meds) I hate it when it happens but I just carry on and get to sleep earlier the next night from exhaustion. It's like your mind having a meltdown and no skills work except to try to have patiene -
NeverwillFall17 @Neverwillfall16
@CarlDunnJr Yes I'm always worried about something tonight it's if the hospital will write me up for not being independent enough because I needed help dressing #BPDChat
Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr
Does anyone find they spend hours thinking about a problem or situation? #BPDChat
Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr
@Luciek11K That's an interesting idea. I'm guessing that might be quite helpful. #BPDChat

Meandmymhmatters BA (Hons) @Meandmymhmatter
@CarlDunnJr Yes definitely. Especially at night. Or after an encounter with other people. I find myself replaying situations over and over again and how awful I must of sounded. #BPDChat
♡ Amanda ♡ @Glass1ncision
When I look back on my life I see the wasted hours, weeks, even months I spent pre-occupied with an obsessive thought.. Drug addiction can also be a ruminating thought and I spent over a decade addicted to a powerful drug. The triggers still haunt me like this. #bpdchat
Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr
What do you find helps you when you get in this state (worrying, ruminating, catastrophizing)? #BPDchat
♡ Amanda ♡ @Glass1ncision
Sometimes I have to verbally voice to myself "suck it up buttercup" & move on. Sometime I remind myself "can I do something about this" if the answer is "no" I know I have to move on. I have searched the world over for hobbies, I have gained skills over the years. #bpdchat
Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr
The 2 books by @blaisemd & @GillianPsyD - "Mindfulness for BPD" and "Coping with BPD" have excellent approaches (including exercises) to dealing with worrying & ruminating - drawing on DBT skills including mindfulness. #BPDChat
Meandmymhmatters BA (Hons) @Meandmymhmatter
@CarlDunnJr Planning ahead can help or checking the facts #BPDChat
♡ Amanda ♡ @Glass1ncision
A shower always helps, a change of clothes helps. Sitting on the porch and my new found love for nature helps. Certainly my animals. Meditation helps I have a nook in my bedroom just to get away from noise. Searching for skills & not giving up helps. #bpdchat
Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr
@BorderlineClown Yes, it does. Can you explain the acronym for others? Thanks. #BPDChat

@hannahblogsmh @CarlDunnJr The DBT Skills workbook was a lifesaver for me. #bpdchat

Mindfulness can help. If you can practice being in the moment and noticing what is going on, you can start to notice when you start thinking this way. Remember, thoughts are not facts! #BPDChat

If you can learn to notice when you are worrying or ruminating, you can then be mindful enough to realize these are only your thoughts (a creation of your mind). #BPDChat 1/2

If you can bring your emotion down enough to think clearly, it's then possible to check the facts and try to determine if your fears are justified. #BPDChat 2/2
♡ Amanda ♡ @Glass1ncision
There's not a "one fix fix all" skill for every situation. Sometimes you will need to use different skills to cope. A guy once told me "take what you can throw away the rest" in a meeting once. It helped when I got focused that I had to be perfect in every coping skill #bpdchat
Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr
When we use judgments rather than describing (staying grounded in facts) we amp up our emotions and our ruminating. #BPDChat 1/2

#bpdchat last Tues I got a pretty bad electric shock, no burns..my rt arm is so weak, fingertips hurt, pulse 188 later at ER, & they’re not sure if I had small heart attack then or recently. In last 3 months I’ve had 2 concussions & now electrocuted myself!
Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr
Practicing 'describing' things as they are - "I lost my keys." not "I'm a terrible person, I never do anything right!" (a judgment) can help bring down emotions and see things more clearly. #BPDChat 2/2
♡ Amanda ♡ @Glass1ncision
Not to mention the support of Twitter helps, I have zero emotional support other then therapy and I'm down to once a month, amazingly. This is my support system, it's my journal, I get out the thoughts just by tweets or tweet rants. It most def helps. #bpdchat

Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr
Practicing mentalizing & learning to mentalize more accurately can help see others's thinking and the situations we are in more clearly. (We often assume we know what another person is thinking & we may often be wrong). #BPDChat
♡ Amanda ♡ @Glass1ncision
Hypermentalizing's most difficult part is realizing that you are actually doing it. In a lot of situations we don't until a great deal of time has went by. #bpdchat

@_inthedirtyrain @CarlDunnJr Me too ..makes me feel instantly like a child & don’t know what the talk is gonna be but instantly scared, anxious #BPDChat
♡ Amanda ♡ @Glass1ncision
There are sometimes when I am completely besides myself with fret and anxiety, rage, anger, whatever it may be and I do not realize I'm hypermentalizing due to a negative habit of dissociating. #bpdchat
Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr
By the way, mentalizing is a capacity that we all have as human beings to understand what's in the mind of another person (feelings, thoughts, motivations, etc.) and also, importantly to understand what's in our own mind (& express it). #BPDChat 1/2
