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

Thank you @NatureLover @Captain24 @Eve7 @FloatingFeather

todays has been the same. Doing what I can to survive the moments…. Keeping myself as busy as possible… mostly exercising.

I emailed my psychologist last night, just needed to get stuff out of my head. She called me today. Felt cared for. My case manager is coming to do a home visit tomorrow- anxious about that one.

Re: My Mosaic

Thanks @Eve7 @Captain24 @NatureLover

My visit with my case manager went ok. I’m still having a lot of SI and she asked if I wanted an admission. I think it’s the best place for me, but I can’t though, I have responsibilities over the weekend. We will review an admission again on Monday. She said she was furious that they didn’t keep me in last week. I was literally extubated and sent home 8hrs later. Even medically that lacks care??i guess that’s how mh patients get treated eh. Makes me sad. We are still people.

Re: My Mosaic

I'm sorry to hear about what has happened @Bow . It certainly doesn't sound humane... but I've also been in your situation.

What do you think they could have done differently, or what would you have liked them to do? If they offered an admission, would you have accepted?

From my experience, when I've been that acute, an inpatient stay would not have helped - if anything, it would make it worse....but of course, that's my experience - a human one 🙂

Re: My Mosaic

Oh they offered me an admission but I said no, but Surely they have some kind of ‘duty of care’….. I tried to off myself and ended up in ICU and they just sent me home?

i don’t know. Just vented @tyme

Re: My Mosaic

I understand @Bow and often feel that way.

What was your favourite ride at Disneyland?
