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'm sorry to hear @Bow

You're possibly back now, I hope it went ok 🙏

I'm the same, feel like I'm just a body, numb really. No tears today so far at least.

Dad not good just dropped of some helpful meds for him.

Re: My Mosaic

Thanks @Anastasia my dietitian appointment was really difficult. She could see through my recovery record app that I have been really struggling with my restrictive eating and excessive exercise and that I am significantly under nourished- she is concerned. She has basically taken the reigns, with a little input from me and put together a meal plan. She has not done this before. She is also going to get in contact with my psychologist and figure out a way to get on top of the exercise issue.

Ive come home and am doing only what I know to do and exercise.... or physically exert myself by mowing the lawns. Just having a drink break.

I feel overwhelmed by the plan that my dietitian has put in place. Taken control.... I told her that, that she is taking that control away from me and she said that she understood and could appreciate how difficult that is, but says that it's what I need. She explained it that by doing trauma work while being under nourished is basically putting trauma on top of trauma.

I feel defeat. Why does everything have to be so bloody hard.

back to it!

Re: My Mosaic

@Jynx I did not expect my dietitian to take the approach that she did today. Honestly thought she would just give up on me today. I just don't know if I can do what she wants me to do. Maybe I just need to stop. Stop waisting her time.

Re: My Mosaic

Sounds like it was a challenging appointment - perhaps because you expected to be given up on. That's not a nice feeling at all, and yet when she didn't give up on you, maybe that hurt too because it doesn't match your internal view of yourself.

I can really hear that part of you wants to give up on yourself right now. But you are so far from being a waste of time, for any that are supporting you. Being there for others is its own reward.

Is there one simple, nice thing you can do for yourself tonight @Bow?
