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 🙂

Hello @Bow

and other members visiting the "My Mosaic" thread

I, for a reason I do not recall, was looking at your page from the 18 Nov '20. The sentiments that you expressed about the complexity and, sometimes, apparent disorder of life struck me in a way with which I could connect. Hoping that you will not mind my quoting a part of your comments:

"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.

I like the way that you described the comparison and similarity between life and a piece of mosaic art work.

With Best Wishes

Re: My Mosaic

I hope you and your daughter have your well-deserved holiday @Bow. I read your thoughts in another thread, and you seem to be a sweet and lovable person, kind and supportive. You're aware of your current limitations and your current circumstances yet you are organising yours and your daughter's routines in a way that will help you both despite your need for medical treatment and psychological support. You seem like a good mother and I hope you never forget that. Your daughter probably realises how much you love her, I'm sure she does, and I'm sure she and most other people, realise that you're getting the help you need too.

Re: My Mosaic

@Jynx I happen to be someone who speaks my mind anyway. I already have "undesirable consequences" without hearing about the mental health system. The system won't give me anything worse, trust me. I've even made public challenges in my local community and so far I've been treated with kindness and support from both support people and strangers while also being protected from danger. I've found the more I complain and nag, the more I get help from people I don't even know could help me.

Thanks @Eve7 @Jynx @Former-Member @HenryX

I have managed to get through another day away. Thankfully no one came banging on my hotel room door. I still haven’t managed to take any of these meds though. Have decided to go home tomorrow. All over the place tonight. My heads just in such a mess. Trying to manage my ED while away is a real struggle. Trauma stuff is intense. I don’t even know what to do. Wishing I hadn’t gone away, a stupid decision so close to an anniversary. Just want all the pictures inside my head to go away. All the pains in my body to stop.

Re: My Mosaic

My head just doesn’t make sense @Eve7 its such a mess. Wanting…. Needing to keep punishing myself. Just letting my ED win. Let it reach its end goal. I have no power over it anymore.

Re: My Mosaic

Hello @Bow , @Eve7 , @Former-Member , @Jynx , @Shaz51

@Bow, are you able to tell us a little about how your daughter is going with your break away together? You have succeeded in dealing with your time away, so far, it seems.

I can think of so many questions that I would like to ask you. When I write something, I question in my own mind, how appropriate the question is and then delete it. There is certainly no way that I would want any thing that I write to cause you more distress. But, I would like someone here to be able to talk with you, if that 's what you would like.

It is probably about 10.30 pm where you are. I hope that you can connect with someone on the forum. I would be pleased to be able to talk with you, but only if you felt comfortable with doing so.

For Now, Best Wishes to You Both

@HenryX

Can you stay in the moment and not think too far ahead?

I hope you’ve had good holiday weather ☀️🙏
