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 struggling today, but trying hard to keep myself busy so I don’t do anything I shouldn’t

Re: My Mosaic

I’ve nearly got through another horrible day living in the darkness of my head. I will watch some tv, take my meds and hopefully just go to bed.
i sure hope my psychologist doesn’t cancel on me tomorrow.

thank you @creative_writer

Re: My Mosaic

Thanks @creative_writer @Shaz51 @NatureLover

my psychologist was in today, such a relief to see her, yet a really hard and overwhelming session. I’ve lost count of the amount of health professionals who have told me that they are glad I’m still here and that I was really lucky cause what I did was pretty serious and close. That conversation was really confronting and overwhelming. To feel that and talk through it.

We talked about ways to avoid this happening again…. But how???? She asked me how I felt about the fact that I survived it and whether it feels like a turning point for me. I’m a bit numb to it to be honest. Yeah I was terrified at the time… and thinking about it makes me cry… I feel traumatised by it all… but I feel numb also. It’s like there are so many parts of me that come into play, that my body is just numb…. I don’t know how to explain it.

I have DBT tomorrow, kind of looking forward to it?

Re: My Mosaic

@Bow. It’s a very sensitive subject, it’s okay to feel uncomfortable talking about it. Its okay to feel overwhelming feelings thinking about it, it sounds like a very scary experience. Sitting with you here. I hope your DBT session goes well tom.
