People with cluster B disorders can face extreme mood swings that they may struggle to control. You can help by speaking calmly and putting on a calm face (even if you're stressed). Take a few deep breaths, ask for a timeout, or postpone the discussion for a later time. Keep in mind that if you remain grounded and calm, it's easier to de-escalate the situation. However, if you both lose your head, it'll be challenging to resolve the problem. People with cluster B disorders can experience strong mood swings, and they may say things that they don't mean in the heat of the moment. They behave this way because they don't have the social skills to know any better. Even when they don't mean it, it can still be hurtful. You're allowed to say "That hurts my feelings" or "I'm not okay with you talking to me that way." It's okay to walk away or take some space if you feel upset. If the Cluster B person is already on edge, then criticism will only upset them even more. You might also avoid giving them suggestions or advice, which may "sound" like criticism to them. They need to feel understood, not ignored or controlled. Here are some examples of unhelpful things to say: "You're overreacting." "Calm down!" "It's not a big deal." "Just try _____." "Why are you so sensitive?" "Just get over it. Sometimes, a person with a cluster B disorder may say extreme things as a last-ditch attempt at getting their way. But other times, they really do feel suicidal, and they may be in danger of hurting themselves. Call a suicide hotline for assistance. Contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255 and let the person speak to a representative. This person can help "talk them down" and de-escalate the situation. If they use a suicide threat to try to get their way, say "I care about you and want you to be safe. That doesn't change my boundaries. If you really do feel suicidal, I can help you call a hotline or visit the emergency room." While you may want to help make things better, it's unlikely to succeed if you don't know how. Leave if you feel scared or at your breaking point. Both of you can take time to calm down. Say "I need to be alone right now so I can calm down." If the person threatens to harm themselves or someone else, call local emergency services for help.

One-sentence summary -- Keep your cool when things get heated. Try not to take hurtful words personally. Avoid criticizing their behavior or minimizing their feelings. Call for help if they threaten suicide. Walk away if you don't know how to handle things.

Maybe you want to know how mad your parents really are about your D in Chemistry, or what your son is saying to his friend on the phone, or what your roommate really thinks about you. Sneak quietly to the door and listen. If someone walks by and sees you, don't act suspicious. Instead of running off in a hurry, seem like you have a reason to be there, such as picking up something you just happened to drop outside of the door. If one of the people you are eavesdropping on comes out of the door, you could pretend you were about to knock and say something like, "Oh, I was just coming to find you. I needed to ask you a question." Then come up quickly with a question to ask! You may be able to hear more if you crouch down and put your ear to the door. It would be a good idea to drop something very obvious on the floor (such as a pile of papers) so that if anyone comes by they will just think you are kneeling on the floor to pick up what you have dropped. If you are trying to hear through a wall, you can use a thin drinking glass to amplify the sound. Place the rim of the glass to the wall and position your ear on the other end. It's best to use this method in a place where you won't be seen, such as your bedroom. You will have a harder time pretending not to be eavesdropping if someone sees you listening through a drinking glass! You can position yourself in a good location to eavesdrop after a conversation you want to hear has already begun. Just be quiet about it, and be sure to pretend to have a good reason to be there. For instance, maybe your competition at work has a meeting with the boss, and the boss's office is next to the supply closet. Pretend you desperately need some paperclips. In fact, you seem to be out of everything at the moment so you need to spend a while stocking uplong enough, at least, to eavesdrop just a tiny bit. If you're at home, your parents might be having a discussion in the kitchen that you want to overhear. Go into the living room (or whichever room is near the kitchen) and sit quietly, but have an excuse ready if they ask you what you are doing. Maybe you left something in the living room and you need to look under all the couch cushions repeatedly. You can catch a conversation going on outside your room by opening your window. Don't be too obvious, though. Instead of opening the window all the way, just slowly open it an inch or two. Sit down with your ear near the window so that the people you are eavesdropping on don't see you. You could also listen to a conversation happening inside your house from the outside via an open window, but you'll have to do some pre-planning. In this instance, you should crack the window prior to the conversation you want to overhear and position yourself outside. Crouch down by the window on the outside of the house so no one inside sees you. Wherever you are trying to eavesdrop, it's important to cancel out any noise other than the conversation you are trying to overhear. In addition to turning off the T.V. and stereo or MP3 player, be sure to turn off overhead fans and any devices, such as a computer or printer, that make less obvious noises. Even small sounds can interfere with your attempt to overhear!

One-sentence summary -- Hover around closed doors. Listen through the keyhole. Use a thin glass. Sit quietly in the next room. Crack the window. Eliminate other sounds.

Monthly cleaning is needed to prevent the build-up of dirt and grime on cubic zirconia. If you're consistent with monthly cleaning, this reduces the likelihood the jewelry will build up dirt to the point professional cleaning is required. If you wear cubic zirconia on your hands, avoid using lotion or things like essential oils. Cubic zirconia is sensitive to such substances and can easily be damaged. If you do use lotion or oils, keep it away from any cubic zirconia you're wearing. Bleach, chlorine, and ammonia should not be used on cubic zirconia. Do not use any chemical cleaners to remove harsh stains, as this can easily damage your jewelry. Cubic zirconia should be stored in an airtight container to prevent wear and tear. Any time you're not wearing cubic zirconia, store it promptly and in a safe container.
