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 get that. It can shift so quickly and come of nowhere, can't it? 😣 @Bow

What do you feel you need most right now? And could redirecting your attention to building Lego be helpful at all? 💛

@Bow

Hello dark monster inside Bow. I see you're having a Time today. It's rough.

I know you think that telling Bow to do those things will help her feel better, but then she is the one who has to deal with the fallout, the shame, and the icky feelings afterwards. Do you think you could let her choose a less scary option?

Like lego, or chatting about markets and art, or some rubber bands and chewy ice?

Re: My Mosaic

Yay, yes good stuff @Bow - our breath is one of the best ways to bring ourselves back to centre.

Like all of us Bow, you can only do it by putting one foot in front of the other, focusing on what is within your control, and taking it an hour, a minute at a time. No matter what, no feeling ever lasts forever.

You got this, and we got you 💜

Feeling bit more settled @Jynx but still very noisy inside

In response to: Re: My Mosaic

Re: My Mosaic

@Bow glad your system is settling hun. I know it gets awful loud n crowded in there hey?

Sometimes that's when I put on very loud music haha, it 'overtakes' the thoughts. What are you up to atm?

In response to: Re: My Mosaic

Re: My Mosaic

Be tot amazing if there was a magic pill to turn the volume down inside ya head yeah. Like you think of something different but then ya constantly get interrupted by these loud annoying thoughts. The amount of times I can’t remember whether I’ve said something to someone cause I get Interrupted.

im just on the couch @Jynx watching tv. Nothing interesting though. I got annoying heart palpitations tonight.

Re: My Mosaic

@Bow that would be amazing, for sure. And that's SUCH a mood. My brain is always skipping off on random tangents, I can imagine if it's a dissociation thing it's even more disruptive!!

Oh noooo too many thudthuds? You still doing your breathing? It may help 💜

In response to: Re: My Mosaic

Re: My Mosaic

Oh yep for sure it is @Jynx

nothing really helping tonight. Just gotta put up with it I think. But yes am doing my breathing still.

do you have any plans for the coming week?
