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

Yeah @Jynx still really feeling it. I know it’s stupid, it was just a bad day. But it’s really derailed me. Still feels really yucky.

Was reading over that page… remembering things you have shared and your adhd and it was making sense and then read that they often come together. You gonna go see someone about it?

Re: My Mosaic

Nah nothin stupid about it @Bow I'm the same when it comes to particularly heavy days. I am pretty sure that's normal, like our bodies get FLOODED with soooo many chemicals, so they all gotta be worked through, and all our muscles are coiled like a spring getting ready for anything, so they're chock full of fatigue, and our digestive system gets shut down n has to wake back up again, it's heaps of stuff. It literally puts our bodies through the ringer - so needing a few days to come back down from it is totally normal. Become one with the couch.... Hehehe

Yeah that's it, the co-modbidity, the overlap w ADHD - just so many boxes getting ticked. I think I will have to get a formal diagnosis yeah, cos I wanna apply for NDIS and like, this is a physical disability so it will help me sooooo much with applying. But ohhh boy it is exhausting re-analysing ya whole life! lol. Be nice if this means I can stop shaming myself about my clumsiness tho.

Anything on for you tomorrow?

Re: My Mosaic

Oh that actually makes a whole lot of sense eh @Jynx I ached so much yesterday, still do. Had to take meds. Like really tight muscles, stomach pains and I had zero appetite. Now lack of sleep can look like that with my fibromyalgia… but yeah a combination of the two and it all makes sense.

My SW is suppose to be on tomorrow and she will usually call. I’m really hoping that she has the time to chat for a bit.

It must be like a sigh of relief to have some answers yeah? My best friends daughter who lives in the UK has recently been diagnosed with adhd and autism. And she said it’s a relief to have answers for so much of her childhood and adult years. And that she can now get some supports for the things that she particularly struggles with.
Thata good that you can apply for ndis. Is that for both your adhd and now this? What kind of things could you apply for funding with?

my tomorrow?… no idea yet. We went to the shops this morning. Got my nails done, daughter a new fan (been hot here the last few days yuck) oh and I got the kittens on clearance a sunflower scratching post! It’s so cute. I spent the afternoon on my bed putting together a photo album from our trip. Sleep…. Sleep 💤 is what I need though.

what’s your Sunday looking like?

Re: My Mosaic

@Bow maybe let her know beforehand that you would appreciate as much time as she can give you? That way even if you 'sound okay' she'll still know that you might like her sticking about a bit longer.

Oh totally, and yeah happy for your friend who is doing the same!! My psych called it 're-lensing' i.e. looking at your life from a whole new lens. But yeah mainly I wanted support with cleaning and staying organised with the ADHD, maybe some ongoing coaching or something to help with the adulting bizz. Now I'm also thinking I would REALLY benefit from an OT and regular physiotherapy, and massages too if I can get em. Honestly, reading about dyspraxia it sounds like it will make a world of difference.

Aww a sunflower!! CUUUUTE!! Kitties been keeping you busy I bet?

Honestly tomorrow is just laundry day 🤣 sooooo exciting I know!

In response to: Re: My Mosaic

Re: My Mosaic

Oh yep I could send her a text in the morning so she gets in when she starts work @Jynx

oh they are great things that you can apply for ndis funding. They would certainly make life a lot easier for you. More organised and tidy! Is it daunting applying for ndis? I guess you’d have to wait until you get a diagnosis though.

kitties are keeping me a little bit busy. They are needing more and more time out of their playpen and they get up to mischief! But I love the sound of them running from one end of the room to the other. One of them is very close to cracking the 1kilo mark! He has such a round little belly!

Laundry… it’s gotta be done. Probably need to do a load too. Wash D’s school shirt. I need to go down to the school and grab a couple of new ones.

crunching on a zooper dooper. I like em when oral intake is hard. You like them?

Re: My Mosaic

@Bow yeah I'm pretty nervous about applying, but like yeah diagnosis first and I also wanna see if I can get ASD diagnosis too, so I'm hoping that with the trifecta of ND I won't get knocked back lol.

omg the PAP PAP PAP of tiny paws is the BEST!

EEEEHEHEHE milk drunk!!

Ooh yes, cept they always make the corners of my mouth sore!!

Re: My Mosaic

Hey @Bow ,

How are you? Have you been going to the markets lately?

In response to: Re: My Mosaic

Re: My Mosaic

Hi @tyme I’ve spent another day in bed 😩

no we haven’t gone back to markets yet. I thought we were going to go back last Sunday to our Sunday markets, but mum couldn’t be bothered. And she didn’t mention it this week.
