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 🙂
Hey @Bow this is such a difficult time, but we're here with you, we're sitting with you.

Re: My Mosaic
Well, silence from moderators? They don't like what people have to say if mods disagree with opinions and concerns? It's all about the community guidelines, not our opinions. Ok. I'm out. Don't email me, I won't respond to random strangers. I'll only respond to my doctors and people I know. See ya, guys.

Re: My Mosaic
@moxi I've been in contact with the community manager too. I will also write to them again. Some forum threads are ok for me. It's the more concerning ones which I go there to express my opinions and feelings, being that I'm just an annonymous user with "feelings" apparently, but anyway, it's hard to have an opinion when community rules say we can't have an opinion to share with others. When I read the guidelines, I don't have room to talk about mental illness and its consequences. When posts are taken down due to being a grapic nature or too "triggering" what other option do I have? My psychiatric problems trigger me and I can't escape from them. I don't need my problems to be taken on by everyone else. What I do expect, is that when I write a post, people can take responsibility for what they read. The guidelines when I read them, tells me that I'm irresponsible so I can't make choices about what I read and write here, especially in this thread, and another particular thread. It's up to the moderators and the community rules to decide what we can say and cannot say, what we can read and cannot read. O, well now I understand. And I wish the community guidelines could clearly state these facts so I don't have to take several weeks to figure this out on my own.

Re: My Mosaic
Good morning @Codex1,
I'm one of the peer support workers on shift in the forums today. I just wanted to stop by to reassure that a community manager will respond to your enquiry within the next 48hrs. Apologies for any delay you may have experienced due to the public holiday yesterday.
If there are any questions we can help you with specifically around community guidelines i.e. what they mean, how they're used etc please don't hesitate to send us an email and we can do our best to answer them.
All the best,
Rhye

Re: My Mosaic
I’m really confused and unsure what has happened here? Did I do something wrong?

Re: My Mosaic
I'm just back on shift today @Bow, but I don't think you or anyone has done anything wrong. How are you doing today?

Re: My Mosaic
No @Bow ... I dont think you did or said anything wrong. Just let it rest now I think.
Soooo ... how are you today? Are the body memories starting to ease now? Really hope you are now through the worst of this awful trauma anniversary.
Kindest thoughts and prayers coming your way. 💝🙏

K thanks @Emelia8@Former-Member
Still not really ok. I’m hoping that at least my case manager is back on today. Maybe she will call me? I don’t wanna keep calling… don’t wanna sound desperate, even though I kinda am.

Re: My Mosaic
My case manager called late this afternoon, I’ll go and see her tomorrow. Such a relief to have someone in person that I can go and touch base with who knows what is going on. Really hoping that she will have news that my psychologist will be back next week.
Next week I have an intake interview? For eclipse- a suicide support group ran by lifeline. Lifeline after care program has been calling me weekly.,. Some times more frequently for goodness knows how long- only suppose to be a 12 week program but it’s well and truly beyond that. They suggested I might want to look at this support group. I’m having second thoughts about it now though.
i was also suppose to go and have my bloods done again today, but to be honest I am just so over medical appointments. I’m tired of being poked and prodded and the invalidation. I’m just so exhausted. I was really hard on myself yesterday… last night … in many ways and have suffered the consequences of it today. I’m afraid that none of this is over and won’t be for some time and I desperately want and need a break.
