You have good tools to manage that, including ignore.

If you can't do colors and can't do all black, you might use ignore or make sure you're feeling well enough to be in chat in the moment.

Sometimes, when highly anxious or not feeling well, chat might be more a hindrance than a help and only we can know that for ourselves.

Maybe before entering chat, you should ask yourself if you feel like being there. See if there are several in the room you're going to. Ask yourself if you'll be able to deal with the colors that might be there, or all black, or in a place that you can use ignore. If the answer is no, you might want to consider visiting chat when you can better manage your experience, knowing that others will be using their options as well more than likely.

For instance, I do that for myself. I check to see how many are in chat, if I can deal with the fast past and the PM's, if I can deal with all the reading and colors, etc. If it's making me anxious or I don't feel well, I don't go.

Thanks,
