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

No @Bow ... I dont know what any of that is like. 😔 But it sounds so hard, and such an isolating thing to live with. I'm so sorry that this is you right now. I want you to know that people do recover from EDs, and so can you. Hang onto hope.

Re: My Mosaic

Thank you @Emelia8 @Eve7 @NatureLover

Today has been really hard. My d was at her fathers and was having attempt #2 at a sleepover, but she has just come home and is in bed with me. I have literally spent the whole day exercising. Trauma is horrible. Flashbacks are horrible. They have been relentless today. Constant. I want them to stop. And now I have to somehow hold myself together cause my d is next to me. Even though I’ve never wanted, I needed tonight alone… just so I can be.

i missed a call from community mh and just don’t have it in me to return their call.

I am sorry I didn’t see this earlier sweetie @Bow

You are so right. Trauma and all it brings with it is awful, intolerable even. I hear your pain tonight.

I’m on the piano right now playing some comfort music for you.

Lots of love and prayers

Re: My Mosaic

Thanks @Eve7 trying to imagine the beautiful music

I can’t get off to sleep tonight. Everything feels so real and scary. I hate what these images do to my body. Is hard to make them stop when I physically feel the pain all over again. Disassociating a lot tonight. Just want it to stop. Just want it all to be over.

Try and listen to your d breathing @Bow

I was playing some tunes from The Sound of Music but now I’m just playing some chords.

Love you lots 💙🙏🤗

Do you know what it is like to be so thirsty you can feel the dryness but you can’t bring yourself to drink anything?


I didn't know that it involved drinking as well, @Bow 😞 Am so sorry to hear 😞

Also sad that the trauma and flashbacks were so bad yesterday...I hope today is a bit better.

Re: My Mosaic

Feel so alone as the images I keep seeing today and the pains that keep gripping me. Just wanna disappear. I can’t face another day like this
