Something’s not right

My Mosaic

My Mosaic

I like mosaic art, I’ve never actually done any, but it intrigued me. Made up of hundreds of tiny pieces of stone, glass and ceramic. If you look at it close up it doesn’t really look like anything special, if anything it looks like a mess. But if you take a step back and view the whole picture- it’s a master piece. I guess it’s kind of like life. So many tiny parts, some messy if we look just at the one part. Some day i guess I’d hope that the mess of my life will at some point look half decent.

So here is part of my mosaic, bits and pieces kept tidy together 🙂

tagging you @Emelia8 cause you asked 🙂

Re: My Mosaic

I'm trying @Emelia8 I am. I know I need to stay well and like you said now more than ever. I am afraid depression has taken grip even more the last week, I guess it's too be expected? It does make everything else far worse, easy things that I use to manage in order to take care of my myself have fallen to the way side. I lack a lot of motivation to do anything, even my morning walks are a real struggle. I sit ... or lay around a fair bit and do not a lot. Church tomorrow, I have managed to get my responsibilities covered by someone else and now very much feel like I won't go. Something that I use to enjoy is now something that I dread. Feel like such a fake. A fraud. A failure. I dread the questions being asked how I am, knowing that I can't tell people the truth. I hate the awkward conversation around the changes to how I appear, why do people always praise weight lose? Why do they ask how do you do it? My eating hasn't been great this week at all, that's why I was surprised when my gp said my potassium was great, she was even surprised and said I must be doing something right.
I am suppose to start with my new psychologist in just under 2 weeks. I am unsure what the focus needs to be in the beginning, I feel quiet overwhelmed with having to start again... feels like that's all I've been doing in recent months. New gp, my oldest psychologist, 2 psychiatrist.... and then 2 hospital visits where I had to tell my story and useless comm mh visits. I'm just rambling now, it's a distraction from the intense sh and si thoughts I have raging inside at the moment.
I'll go now though, get D moving ready for bed etc, hope you enjoyed your dinner. Thank you again @Emelia8 how are you doing really? Tomorrow is looming for you? I hope I remember the date correctly?
love to you

Re: My Mosaic

Thank you dear @Shaz51 you know you were the first person to say hi to me and have a conversation with when I found the forums last year.... I was thankful for your kindness and will remember that. I hope you are well.

Re: My Mosaic

Hey @Bow , just popping in to let you know we're here with you. It can be really hard to have to retell your story - you can get so tired from just revisiting the memories over and over and not have time or energy left to actually start processing the emotions. I really hope that your treatment process becomes more stable soon (sounds like you're on your way) so you can really focus on your healing. We'll be there with you every step.

I know the SI and SH thoughts can get super intense, but I also know you're really good at reaching out for support when you need. Sending you some extra strength to help you cope tonight

Re: My Mosaic

why does it make things feel better yet its so wrong?

In response to: Re: My Mosaic

Re: My Mosaic

Because its a release, a distraction @Bow ... but sadly, its not a healthy or safe one. You must find a safe way to achieve the same result of feeling better.

Have you tried the old rubber band trick? A loose rubber band around your wrist ... pull it back and snap it.
