Something’s not right

My Mosaic

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

@Bow aye, feels pretty crappy. Glad your GP validated your frustrations with her confusion!

Random curiosity - how far away is the next-nearest hospital? Just wondering if it'd be too much effort to go get a second opinion somewhere else!

I know this might be completely irrelevant, considering our differing situations - but I have been using powdered gatorade/staminade to help me keep hydrated! I always forget to, but if it's a delicious sweet flavour, it's way easier to be motivated to have a big drink. Would that help you reckon? Also keeps your electrolytes up too!

How you feeling about three weeks without your psych? Glad she put in the effort to have the extra session beforehand!

Hope that your journalling group goes well hun! 💜

Re: My Mosaic

next nearest hospital is like 30mins away maybe @Jynx ive done that before… gone there when I was having stomach issues and my local was really dismissive. I’m too tired to bother with that today though and will see how I go over the coming days. But shall keep it in mind.

I’ve got powerade in the fridge and cupboard and know that I should drink it. They would all love it if I drank it! It’s that nagging voice inside me that tells me not to though. Too much goodness in that bottle. But I gotta break this stupid bloody cycle and this can’t keep being my life.

think I’m ok with my psych being away. I’ve got a lot of other support in place. So I’ll survive.

how are you doing @Jynx recovering ok?

Re: My Mosaic

Random thought @Bow - have you ever practiced saying 'no' or otherwise standing up to that voice? What if you looked for some conflict resolution tips or videos, or how to implement boundaries, stuff like that, and then used those skills internally? Tell that little voice off and refuse to let it control you! I might be barking up the wrong tree, or barking up a tree that you've already barked up (this metaphor is getting away from me lol), but I know how much you hate it when others try to take control/remove your agency. Maybe you could tell the little voice that it has no power over you either!

I'm doing alright! Sleep schedule is still a bit wonky but I'll settle back into routine soon. Very glad that we got a cool change coming through, I'm so sick of hiding away in my house from the heat - wanna be able to get out for a walk without having to bathe in sunscreen first 😂

I’m all for cooler weather @Jynx ! I’ve been watching the forecast and there are no more days over 30 (atm) so I’m happy. It’s all just gonna get cooler! I guess then I’ll be complaining about the cold.
