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 🙂

Well you certainly had a lot of sleep to catch up on @Bow so glad you got some last night.

Never watched survivor but enjoy!! Hopefully you can have some down time for the rest of the day.

I am going ok. Heading to kmart soon. Not because I need anything, just because I can!!!

@Snowie Kmart trips just because are always the best kind! There are always bargains, new stuff and stuff you didn’t know you needed but you bought anyways. Enjoy!

I’ve got my psych appointment this morning, need to go to the pharmacy, bunnings and then my journaling group.

we have the real estate coming tomorrow. They want to put the rent up. Again. I sent them an email with the long list of things that need fixing… the same list I provided them the last 2 times they tried to put our rent up and haven’t done anything to fix any of it. So I guess maybe they are gonna attempt to fix some of it so they can increase our rent 😩

Re: My Mosaic

Hehe @Bow I am sure I will come home with a few things from kmart that I don't need!!

Sounds like you have a busy day ahead of you. I hope your psych appt. goes well and your journalling group does also. Bunnings is a bit like kmart. We go and get things we don't really need 😁

Thats not right with the real estate agent. The owners have a responsibility to make sure things are fixed. I hope they are able to at least tick some things of the list if they are going to put the rent up. Everything seems to just continue to get more and more expensive.

Re: My Mosaic

My psych appointment went ok. I was super tired though, and I think that showed. We talked a little about this vicious cycle. Meh

i then went to my journaling group. Which was alright until the end. My support worker and another client were talking…. The client wanted to mention something but didn’t cause she wasn’t sure she was allowed to but then my SW stepped in and knew what she was referring to so bought it up with everyone that they are going to move everyone around. That their new boss likes to move clients around cause we are ‘clients of the service’ and that we shouldn’t get use to the one person. I don’t like this. I don’t want this. It was actually something that I hated at my old job, moving kids around case managers just for the sake of it. People need consistency. They need to build rapport and for some that takes a heck of a long time. Trust takes time. And why fix something that ain’t broke??? The tears started to flow for me so I left.
I’ve had way too many changes in my supports over the years I do not need/want another one. It feels like my psychologist all over again. Someone that I finally like, that I can trust, that I feel is a good fit and they want to just rip them out from under me again. I will only work with females, there are 2 others, my old SW who I just don’t like working with. And the other female is ok, but I don’t see it working.
why do services have to do things like this??? My SW tried calling and texting me after I left but I didn’t want to talk. Why talk? Why bother? If a decision has been made what good is talking going to do? It’s not going to change a decision that has been made it will just make me upset all over again. 😩

Hey @Bow

I'm sorry to hear the news hon. It must be devastating for you. To put so much effort and energy into getting to know your supports, only for them to be taken away would be hard to deal with.

I can't imagine how you are feeling at the moment, but please know we are here for you.

Sending lots and lots of love your way 💕💕

Re: My Mosaic

Yeah I’m pretty devastated @Snowie my CM just called me and I mentioned it to her and she suggested that I maybe write a letter advocating for myself and why it would not be the best thing for me. So maybe I’ll do that.
But I just feel like these kind of things are totally out of my hands and I have no control over them.

In response to: Re: My Mosaic

Re: My Mosaic

Writing a letter might be the way to go @Bow At least they will have your opinion and might take your situation into account.

It is hard when we feel like we have no control over things. It makes us just want to control more and more things.

Re: My Mosaic

Not sure what the point will be though

pushing me closer and closer to the edge

Re: My Mosaic

I guess anything is worth a try @Bow

However I know how hard it is to be optimistic at times.
