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

Hey @Snowie ive missed you the last few days, you’ve been quiet. Are you doing ok?

im sitting outside the hospital where my schema group is this afternoon. I’m early. Always am. But it’s taking everything in me not to get up and leave today. Anxiety is stupidly high. Feel sick.

Missed you too @Bow

Loved the lego bird!

I think my next one will be the Flower Bouquet. I like that one.

I hope you are able to make it into your group this afternoon. Hopefully once you are in, it goes ok.

Just taken some prn. Had to take my mum to an appt. this morning.

Re: My Mosaic

I made it into my group, but I was the only one that showed up 😩 so they cancelled it. @Snowie @PizzaMondo

@PizzaMondo I have a piece of really fluffy extra soft wool. I play with it in my fingers, wrapping it around, twirling it. Really helps I think.

while it was just me and the facilitator there I mentioned to them that I was possibly starting ECT. My old psych who is one of the facilitator said that she’s really hesitant in me continuing the group if I do do ECT cause i possibly won’t retain much of the info. I was willing to keep going, see how I go etc….. but if she says I have to make a choice….

Re: My Mosaic

Ahh, I am sorry to hear that it got cancelled today @Bow .. but you know what, I think this is super important to acknowledge that you are dedicated and showing up - consistently! Even though you were filled with anxiety - that says a lot .. to me anyway 🙂

I love that, I am imagining a fluffy soft wool intertwined between my fingers, I can imagine that is so so so helpful and soft and lovely! Especially if it's a nice colour too.. what colour is yours? (Great idea btw, might borrow it! :P)

Do you have a suggested date for when you might start ECT? And when does this group end? I wonder if the ECT aligns with when this group ends so you could do both - if the timing works out..

Where's your head at, regarding IF you have to make a choice?

Warmest,
PizzaMondo 🙂

Re: My Mosaic

I really want to do this group @PizzaMondo its the first of its kind… around here anyways and goodness knows if it will be offered again. It goes for 25 weeks, so it’s a huge commitment and today should have been week 4, so only fresh.
im feeling really disappointed..,, and disheartened now. I think a combination of today being cancelled (there will be no group next week cause of a public holiday and then the following week it won’t be on cause the main facilitator is away) and also that I have to make a choice between group or ECT.

They were looking at ECT starting next week if they could sort it out. I’m waiting to hear back from my pdoc or case manager or whoever organizes that stuff.

my piece of wool is just a light brown colour. They didn’t really have many options. I strolled the isles of spotlight touching all the wool to find something that was just right.

Re: My Mosaic

I'm sorry your group was cancelled @Bow and that it won't be on for the next few weeks.

I know that decision about ECT is a big one.
