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 🙂

Haha @Bow if you need me to swear on a bible I will!

I'm glad to hear your SW is doing so much to try to understand you. That makes a difference hey!! Helps us feel like we're actually cared for.

Sounds like it was a big conversation! How you feeling about it all now?

Re: My Mosaic

It sure does @Jynx i really appreciate it when people take the time to ask questions and want to delve a bit deeper, especially when they know things aren’t ok and talking might be a bit harder. Feels like they care, want to know, want to understand and aren’t just ticking boxes. Feels like I kinda matter. That I’m actually a person and not a number.

it was a pretty big conversation. And wasn’t really expecting it. Was really vulnerable with her @Jynx specially with the trauma stuff. Walked her through how it all spirals with flashbacks and how it can go one of two ways.

its hard now to take a step back after everything I said and be like oh crap I told her that…. and that…. and that secret Urgh and I’ll probably see her tomorrow

Re: My Mosaic

@Bow Yeah 100% - and we can usually 'feel' when they're being genuine hey. And it gives you a yard stick to measure by!! You know the quality of relationship that you find to be supportive, and anyone who doesn't measure up isn't the right fit for you!

Honestly sometimes the spontaneous ones are better anyway! For me, it's cos I haven't really thought ahead so stuff that maybe I didn't even realise I wanted to get off my chest will come pouring out. I hope the discussion left you feeling heard and perhaps a little lighter too 😉

Aye it can feel really hectic hey, like you're all exposed... I reckon that will ease off when you next see her, or hopefully it will.

100% agree @Jynx real genuine relationship with people that actually do give a rats. And them spontaneous convos.
It’s always hard having to start again with a support worker but when ya have convos like I did today, it really helps. Even though I sent her a text to start with today to let her know how bad the last 24hrs has been, I was then able to verbalize and talk about so much other meaningful stuff .

just been having a play with the kitties. They race around so much, diving off stuff and doing somersaults. I gave them a heap of fluffy sparkly pompoms tonight and little Boq picked on and was running around everywhere with it in his mouth.

Re: My Mosaic

I’m so tired of feeling so dam awful all the time not a life I wanna live anymore

In response to: Re: My Mosaic

Re: My Mosaic

I hear that it's exhausting @Bow and it's so understandable that you're wanting a reprieve from feeling this way.

Have there been any times recently when things have felt even a bit less awful?

Re: My Mosaic
