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 that might be helpful @Jynx i am already anticipating/ fearful of just shutting down and withdrawing. I’ve been doing it a little bit, but it’s hard with mum around cause she’ll check in on me. So with no mum, no accountability.

think cause I’m already in not a good place, it’s very easy to think about/ plan to do not helpful things… shutting down/withdrawing/low intake etc.

100% makes sense @Bow I get the same when I'm feeling really low - like there's this overwhelming voice of apathy in my head that's like 'Yeah do that risky thing who gives a crap', and trying to ignore it is ALSO harder when I'm feeling so low too.

Another thought, maybe chucking up some lil reminders around the house, lil post-it notes with stuff like 'The short-term relief is not worth the long-term shame' or 'Taking it hour by hour' - you could make em real pretty too!

We can touch base tomoz about it anyway. I shall bid you nighty night!! Hope your kitties settle soon and there's no more pot-plant-perils in the night! 😋💜

Hey @Snowie 👋

@Jynxi’d appreciate chatting more about it later today if you have the time

Re: My Mosaic

Hey @Bow

How is it going?

In response to: Re: My Mosaic

Re: My Mosaic

Keeping busy @Snowie i like days at home, no going out. But need to keep busy. Did the kittens this morning. Went on the treadmill. Started some craft then my SW came to visit, was hoping she would come today. So had a chat with her. Now I’m watching the kittens run wild. Just waited for their lunch to soften and then I’ll put them back in their playpen to eat and snooze.
then I’ll watch some tv and do some different craft cause I need to grab something from the shops to continue the one I started this morning.

I seen you went to the gp. Up to much more today?

Re: My Mosaic

Sounds like you have kept really busy @Bow I know that can be hard to do so well done.

I'm glad to hear that your SW came out to see you. Hopefully that helped a little just to be able to talk through things with them.

Not up to much more today. Have to pick S up from school and then take him to work later on. Besides that there might be a nap involved. Not much sleep last night.

Re: My Mosaic

Oh naps are good @Snowie and totally ok when you haven’t slept well.

In response to: Re: My Mosaic

Re: My Mosaic

I'm sure the dog will keep me company @Bow and have a nap too!

I can't imagine you napping with the kittens. They would probably be climbing all over you or getting up to some sort of mischief.

In response to: Re: My Mosaic

Re: My Mosaic

Does your dog snuggle up with you @Snowie ?

the kittens don’t actually keep me awake thankfully. I have them in my walk through robe. I can’t see them. Only really hear them playing or digging in the litter. I let them out a few times a day to play and run around.
