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 🙂

I know you’d do the same for us @Bow and we can truly relate to mh.

You’re very important to us and very much a part of our forum family. 💙

Re: My Mosaic

Of course! That is so understandable, and that is why we are here. I am more than happy to help with a simple structure, so you don't have to do it alone? In your own time of course, no pressure at all. 🥰 @Bow

Losing interest in things that bring you joy makes a lot of sense here, you have been through so much, so be gentle with yourself as you slowly explore what makes you feel good again.

I am curious, what makes you feel like you can't talk about your therapy?

I can see there are many contributing factors, like inaccessibility, that are making it hard for you to feel like you can reach out. That must be so, so tough. 😔

With all of this going on, could we look at slow, simple acts of self-care this week? Maybe this will be a good place to start?

Re: My Mosaic

@AuntGlow I bought it up with my CM that my psychologist was on leave and that she told me she was pregnant and will go on maternity leave in September. She obviously already knew and said that I needed to wait until my psychologist got back from her holiday to talk with her about what will happen therapy wise when she goes on maternity leave. It’s a whole heap of BS. They all work in the same office, in the same team and there is absolutely no reason why my CM couldn’t speak to their team leader about it instead of leaving me hanging for 6 weeks in the unknown.

I don’t know what else sorry. Can’t think of any self care things. I’m not good with that stuff sorry

Re: My Mosaic

I completely understand your frustration - 6 weeks is a long time to wait, especially when you really need support... 😔 @Bow

And that is so fine, you don't need to think too much right now. Let's make it simple - what is one thing you can do before bed that might be soothing?

Re: My Mosaic

I’m feeling heaps fragile I think it is @AuntGlow @like I’m gonna fall to pieces and break.

I made the effort to get up and go to my group this morning. I really didn’t wanna, but I needed some normalcy. And maybe I would see my SW there. Felt heaps overwhelmed as soon as I walked in the door. It was loud. Lots of people doing different things. I sat down near some other girls. I lasted 30mins and I had to leave.
As I walked to my car I seen my SW sitting in her car out the front.

went home and curled up in bed. Haven’t done much since
