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

Would they even understand? Even care? Cause they’ve basically dismissed and invalidated me with their response.

im super anxious about seeing my SW tomorrow. I know I gotta eat, but my ED is far louder at the moment

Re: My Mosaic

Hey @Bow, really hearing how much you're feeling dissuaded from chatting to your supports about this feeling. And like... maybe they won't quite understand, or maybe not in the way that someone with lived experience can understand. But that doesn't mean they won't care. Especially if you highlight just how invalidated you're feeling. Like tryna picture their perspective, maybe they have no idea how crappy this has left you feeling. And if you don't speak up about it, they might assume you found their words reassuring, rather than upsetting, ya know?

You don't necessarily have to broach the topic right away, especially if it's got you feeling pretty shaken. Like @Ru-bee pointed out, you do have the words to describe what you're going through. Maybe this is another situation where screenshotting your forums posts could be a useful way to get the point across?

Anyway, here for ya hun, and depositing some hugs here for ya too 😊

Re: My Mosaic

I don’t know @Jynx feeling heaps emotional tonight now. Itching for D to go to bed so that I can just go crawl into bed.

I wish things weren’t so complicated….

Re: My Mosaic

@Bow yeah for sure darlin, juggling the complexity is in itself such a huge drain on our inner resources, not to mention everything else. Heck, maybe that's something you could chat to your SW or CM about sometime, simplifying stuff? I mean I'm not sure what that would look like, but I'm just sorta contemplating whether you're perhaps burnt out from it all...

Not long now hun, bedtime is coming for you whether you like it or not! You all wrapped up in blankies yet?

Struggling so much to make healthy decisions.

Re: My Mosaic

Hey @Bow I hear you, making healthy decisions when we're not in a healthy place mentally or physically is tough stuff.

How did things go seeing your SW today?

Re: My Mosaic

Hi dear @Bow

Haven't spoken for awhile but have been following along in the background hon.

Just so you know 💕

Re: My Mosaic

Thanks @Ru-bee @Snowie

yeah it’s harder to make good decisions when I am unwell like this. Brain needs fuel.

SW visit was ok. We just chatted about all sorts.

Re: My Mosaic

So disgustingly fat and ugly nothing I do will ever change it. I’m so repulsed I ate dinner. They keep nagging I want them to shut up. Just shut up and leave me alone

I know there's no magic words to make it all better @Bow but pls know I'm here with you hun 💜
