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 🙂

@Bow

I'm guessing you are meaning not going on Tuesday.

I don't want to push you either way, it is totally your decision, and I'll stand by you regardless

But whats the alternate hon?

Re: My Mosaic

I can't say anything that will probably help hon but yeah, I know that feeling @Bow

Those thoughts, thinking there is no other option, only thing to make the pain go away

Can you talk to your SW tomorrow? Write thoughts down, give them to her, send them to her

Re: My Mosaic

Re: My Mosaic

Yeah @Snowie shes doing a home visit tomorrow…. But will I be stupid like today and not ask her what I need to?

maybe I can try writing it down. Send a text. Sigh just get so cranky with myself over this stuff

@Jynx yeah so much panic and anxiety. Second guessing my need to even go. Other things be easier to do.
I really don’t know what I need tonight sorry. Maybe reassurance? I don’t know

Re: My Mosaic

I know your new psych suggests writing things down @Bow

Maybe it might help with your SW to do the same. You can ask her those questions that you don't think you can say out loud. Even send them tonight

Re: My Mosaic

@Bow of course, we all need reassurance from time to time.

I think that with everything being so overwhelming, nerve-wracking, and to a point where you can barely communicate how bad things are, it's no wonder you're also second-guessing everything. It does seem like things are pretty bad though, because the SI sounds like it is pretty loud - and isn't that the whole point, to get treatment that should help you feel more settled and stable...? It is always your decision, but perhaps it could help to reflect on why it was something that you and your supports were planning in the first place. And maybe think about what might be easier for you once you have finished the treatment - picture what could go right, instead of just what could go wrong.

You got this hun, I believe in you 💪😁

Sending you and @Snowie some hugs (づᴗ _ᴗ)づ💜
