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 🙂

There is so much wrong with our MH system.

It does sound like you did everything you could @Bow

Makes it really hard when they don't follow through on what they said they would do.

Re: My Mosaic

I’m so sorry @Bow and it started off so well. All I can say is you made a massive effort to get support and should be proud of yourself.

Is there any way you can afford private health?

Sending lots of love ❤️

Re: My Mosaic

Private health really isn’t an option for me @Eve7 unfortunately

I’ll just have to keep pushing for outpatient ECT with the community team otherwise I just have to deal with it. Put up with feeling crap.

Re: My Mosaic

Oh gosh @Bow you are home?

Oh the dismay, disappointment, and frustration would be so real.

You are not a failure. You did everything you could, you followed the guidance and direction of your support team, and it sounds like the experience just became not worth it for all the distress you were encountering. I'm glad to hear you're making a complaint hun, you deserve to feel heard, and it is a mark of great bravery and strength to be willing to advocate for yourself.

Sending hugs (づ ᴗ _ᴗ)づ💜

Yeah I’m home @Jynx tucked up in my own comfy bed.

yeah all the distress and lack of basic decency,zero follow through with dietary support and straight out refusal to give me leave- I was voluntary?! was all too much. No one batted an eyelid though when i said I was leaving. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Sobbing in bed. Have let so many people down

Re: My Mosaic

@Bow sounds to me like you were protecting yourself. That's not letting anyone down, that's putting yourself first. I think the fact you tried is always worth something too! Plus, it doesn't mean you can't try again or seek outpatient treatment.

Let the tears flow as needed hun, you deserve a big cathartic cry! 💜
