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

@Eve7 It was ok. We worked on a wellness plan. It was hard. Asking me what things I am good at, signs that I am starting to become unwell etc.

I didn’t really get to talk about the things that I wanted to though.

Re: My Mosaic

Re: My Mosaic

Usually that’s the case @NatureLover but at the moment daytime is an effort to get through too. I can just take my meds and go to bed early if things are really difficult. Can’t do that during the day…. I wish I could though, especially today; it’s not been a good start to the day.

How are you today @NatureLover @Eve7 @Snowie ???

Re: My Mosaic

Oh I wish I was still in bed! I didn’t want to get up this morning,,,, same with yesterday. It’s not usually much of a struggle, have to get up to get daughter off to school, but the last couple of days have been really hard.
I’ve already done a 2hr round trip to pick something up for my mum. It frustrates me that I am the only one in this house that drives now. Everyone relies on me to be their taxi. Also went to the chemist to get some of my meds.

At midday I am participating in an 3hr Eating disorder focus group via zoom for the area that I live in. Found out about it via the butterfly foundation. Feeling really anxious about it, I’ve scrolled through the list of people attending and there are heaps of health professionals…including my ED psychiatrist and then a couple of people with a lived experience. I’d love to be able to share a little of my experience of gaining support in my area… and how difficult it was, with the hope to make things easier and better for others in the future.

Re: My Mosaic

Sorry to hear it hasn't been a good start to the day @Bow

Hopefully it improves a bit as the day goes on.

Sending lots of love your way 💗💗
