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

I seen that coming @Jynx ….. changing my relationship with my body and weight 😩 I don’t know how…. Don’t know if I can ever accept and be happy with how fat I am.

it’s so hard to talk to my supports when all I get from them is …. ‘You know what you need to do’. …. ‘ you know you need to eat, you know that if you keep going the way that your going your going to end up in hospital.’

yep I know all that. But can’t, don’t know how, don’t want to…. Do any of it.

that’s why I’m so tired. Exhausted. Want to give up. Don’t have anything left in me

@Bow it is hard to alter our thought processes and untangle ourselves from social constructs of shame and stigma. I used to have a lot of shame and anxiety about my body too, used to get teased a lot for my weight - a lot shifted for me when I moved focus away from how I looked, and focused on the feelings side of things instead (both the emotional experiences, and the physiological experiences of bodily sensations and pleasure). Perhaps looking into some somatic therapies could help you explore this aspect of yourself?

I'm about to hop off for the night so I will bid you a restful evening! I hope you get off to sleep okay hun, catch you next time. Hugs! 💜🫂

Little concerned about the 'one answer' - are you feeling unsafe at the moment hun?

Re: My Mosaic

Had a home visit with my SW today and just some things she said makes me believe that she’s starting to get sick of me. My CM obviously is. @Jynx @Ru-bee @Eve7

Re: My Mosaic

Hey @Bow ,

I'm sorry you feel your SW may be 'sick of you'. How often does she see you? I wonder if it's compassion fatigue? I hear how much she cares about you.

At the same time, she may not be sick of you, but just be having a bad day? Could that be a possibility?

Does the schema work you have been doing relate to any of these thoughts?

Hugs to you Bow. Here if you need a chat 🙂
