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 🙂

In a panic, anxious about the plans I made to go away @Ru-bee im in no real state to be away from home and responsible for someone else. So stupid.
so punished myself. Stupid girl. Should know better

Re: My Mosaic

I'm hearing some real frustration with yourself at the moment @Bow

Is there something that we can do to ease some of this panic? Can we try some grounding?

Re: My Mosaic

I am here for you too today @Bow 💛

Sometimes my mind can really take over as well... and it can feel so intense and hard to ignore the looping thoughts. I have noticed that familiar comforts can be very helpful when I feel this way. Does anything come to mind for you?

Re: My Mosaic

No not really @AuntGlow sometimes all I can do is curl up in a blanket and stay put. Just needing for my body to feel safe. Sometimes my mind is really not and doing my best to keep my body safe is all I can do

sorry not sure if that makes much sense

Re: My Mosaic

I think that is perfect for how you're feeling to be honest - it's signalling to your nervous system and subconscious mind, 'Hey, I have got you, you're safe'.

So yes, it does make sense. Could you do that now and let me know how you're feeling in 10/15 minutes? 💖 @Bow

Re: My Mosaic

Hey @Bow how are you feeling? Have you given yourself time to be safe and curled up in that blanket?

Re: My Mosaic

Kinda @Ru-bee it’s hard when family doesn’t understand. Had to get up for dinner and the agitation rose so quickly and sent me into a spiral again. It’s so hard to hide things when I’m feeling it so much physically

In response to: Re: My Mosaic

Re: My Mosaic

Having to mask those feelings would be really difficult @Bow Are you able to retreat after dinner and have some time to yourself to do what you need to self soothe, maybe wrapping yourself in the blanket again?

Re: My Mosaic
