My Mosaic

My D is a bit of a drama queen @Snowie ! I try really hard, but sometimes she really frustrates me.

oh homemade sausage rolls sounds really nice. Lovely old couple at church use to make them all the time, they were delicious!

my SW is coming tomorrow. I didn’t respond to her today. Was in shut down mode. So not really giving me the option tomorrow. I shut down last week and hardly spoke- didn’t wanna do the same thing and waste her time again.

what about you?

Kids can be like that @Bow

How is she liking school? Got some friends in her class?

No doubt your support worker is worried about you hon. I am too. Hopefully you can talk a bit tomorrow. Can you write things down for her if you feel like you can't talk? Might be a way to let her know whats happening.

Nothing on tomorrow. Hoping mum doesn't call and what anything.

Amazing! @Eve7

That must feel like a huge relief. Did you enjoy this assessment/learn anything specific that you will take away?

Also, what is next on your life agenda? 💛

Gah, that must be very frustrating for you... have you ever looked into online portals like Someone Health? @Bow

I understand their desire to help you explore your ability to communicate, but on the other hand, I can also understand how hard that must be for you. Maybe this is something you can dicuss further with your next psychologist? Again, I think you are allowed to bring all of your concerns and needs to the table - it's so important that you feel heard.

I hope she is available and can come with you. I can imagine that would create a sense of safety for you. 💛

They all cost money though @AuntGlow @comm mh is free. I’m on dsp and have to pay out of pocket for my dietitian and gosh Medication is expensive still.

it will be something that I discuss. It’s not like I’m gonna sit there and communicate in writing for the whole session. Sometimes I just need to write briefly what has come up for me during the week and once it’s out there I feel more able to talk.

im going to bed.: to sleep. Don’t feel like I can be up and safe any longer. Have a nice evening

Good night @Snowie 💗

Good night hon @Bow

Talk tomorrow 💗💗

My understanding is that they have a financial hardship option @Bow. I encourage you to look into it - not for forever, just for now. https://someone.health/financial-hardship 💛

And yes, it is all SO expensive. I completely hear you.

Honestly, that makes a lot of sense and I think it's a perfectly understandable way to open up slowly and safely.

Okay, I am glad you have listened to what you need to stay safe. Sleep well and talk soon. ☺️

Hi @Bow

I hope today goes ok with your SW

💗

My SW messaged me yesterday and said ‘ I will be doing a home visit tomorrow at 1pm’. I missed her call this morning, and then she messaged me that she would like to do a home visit today. I replied ok, but don’t have many words, sorry’. Just before 1pm she messaged me ‘I strongly encourage you to go to ED hospital. I’ll email your CM and let her know you are struggling….’ Did that mean she wasn’t coming??? 1:15pm she messages me that she is running late and will be here in 15mins. And just now she has let me know she won’t make it at all.

sigh. What do I even do with that? I tried the best I could to mentally prepare for her visit when really a part of me didn’t even want her to come.

sigh I feel confused. Angry. Disappointed, relieved. Urgh
