When I'm experiencing intrusive, repetitive thoughts, anxiety, and my the low end of my bpd symptoms, I sometimes do different characters with different names and accents to cope. It helps me separate myself from those symptoms and distract me from what's going on in my head. It's also generally more entertaining to the people around me who would probably rather hear a crooning grandma from Biloxi than me in the throes of a panic attack. Idk if it's relevant but I have a pretty good repertoire of voices/accents/characters so I don't think it's too cringy. So just sending a note out here to see if anyone else does this as a conscious choice in rough times?

This is my first post, because I could seriously not find this on the internet elsewhere, so please let me know if a thread on this already exists and I'll bugger off.

Thanks!
