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 🙂

Hello @Bow

Just looked at ABC news today and daw article by Shona Hendley entitled "Things I have learned about my eating disorder 20 years later." I thought of you when i read it. Just want you to keep out of hospital and get built up in physical and mental health and to enjoy life more. IT CAN HAPPEN!!! Take care with lots of love, melly xxoo

Hahaha @Adge it'll happen. They say when you least expect it...at a bus stop something like that?!?

Met my bf in that sort of way, at the time I didn't even want one.

You're a good egg Adge. Covid makes it trickier but not impossible. Just gotta sift through the "bad eggs".

Hugs and hugs

Thanks @Anastasia I like Eggs, good eggs (not bad eggs)....

Except that I don't catch the Bus (not recently)....

I would be Very Happy to Be Swept Off my feet, when not expecting that.

It's been a Very Long Wait (or search) though - 10 years, since my marriage ended.

No relationships since then, not even one....

No don't worry, I won't start a pity party.

@Adge I am asking the Universe for someone special for you. Now we wait. Don't overthink it. In fact just go about your business....keep me posted xox

Re: My Mosaic

Thanks @Anastasia The Universe does not seem to have been Listening to me (very well).

At least I've not heard any Response (from Universe/ Providence).

So some Powerful Backup (Prayer, Plees, or Good Vibes) is Much appreciated....

Re: My Mosaic

it just all feels too hard.
i crashed hard after our lovely day at the beach yesterday. as soon as i knew we were going to the beach, a few days before, i started stressing about and thinking about the food that i would eat while out. we always have fish and chips when we go to the beach. i was already feeling anxious about it, the fried food, the ice cream that we would eat on the way home. a tiny part of me wanting to enjoy these treats with my daughter, but a big part of me was fighting it. but i ate it. and felt horrible afterwards. i am glad that my daughter fell asleep on the way home and i didnt have to entertain her with conversation cause my mind was totally else where, wanting to punish myself for it. i so badly want to really restrict because of it. last night did not end well and today has been a massive struggle.
today i went to a friends house for a swim and had lunch. a meal in front of people. and i knew that because mum is onto my eating habits, she will still make me eat dinner. havent been in a good head space all afternoon cause of it. i dont want to eat. i asked her what she wanted to do for dinner, offering to cook as she was busy outside and she said she'd grab something later as i had had lunch and wouldnt be eating. i was shocked. but happy. shocked that she wasnt making me eat dinner. yet a part of me feels disappointed. disappointed that she is not caring about my food intake again? i feel so incredible alone again. so alone.
i have been waiting all day for my gp to call with my blood results, they have stayed the same, so wants to repeat them again on friday ready for my appointment on monday. she asked how i was- i said not great. she asked how my eating was going, i said its a struggle. she asked if im eating my banana, i lied. she asked if i was able to keep myself safe, i lied. i feel terrible. i feel so guilt. this is all too hard. i dont wanna do it anymore. i cant get out of this stupid situation that i have put myself in. i feel so lethargic today. i cant do it. im too tired to fight. too tired to care.

Hey there @Bow,

I hope getting your thoughts out here is helpful. I can see you're feeling stuck and overwhelmed. I encourage you to reach out to your own supports or a helpline as it's really important you also get qualified help, beyond a peer support service when things get hard.
