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

It must be hard to find a dietitian who is well educated on ED's @Bow I hear how disappointing that is. Will you be able to drop back from once a fortnight so it's still manageable?

Re: My Mosaic

@Bow it’s a shame the dietician will be charging a gap fee. But I agree that having one education in ED helps. Do you know if she bulk bills certain clients? I know with my psych having a low income health care card means I am being charged less. Have you spoken to her about how you feel like you will struggle to pay the gap?

I really do hope the depression slump lifts. It’s hard to be in that mental headspace.

Re: My Mosaic

@creative_writer @Paperdaisy I may drop back to monthly and see how I manage that. She knows that I am on a pension, so doubt it will make any difference.

I have also enquired at another service that I seen pop up on Facebook recently.

Re: My Mosaic

Do you look at your life and realise what a complete waste it is? I have zero motivation. I have laid in bed all afternoon. There are so many things that I could be doing. I’m tired of living like this. I’m tired of being tired. I’m tired of being unwell. I wish the last attempt was successful. I wish I could fall asleep and not wake up. I wish to not be here

Re: My Mosaic

Hey @Bow, sounds like a rough time. Sounds like you're feeling a lot of guilt around resting today, which is a tough place to be. I know a lot of us have been in a similar place.

Do you think reaching out to someone for some support today could be useful?

I also thought I'd share this post about how to create safety when talking about suicide and thoughts of suicide which DaisyDreamer created a while ago,

@Bow I feel you ❤️. Depression can be horrible. Even though you feel worthless, you are worthy, you matter to us. What do you think will help you feel better right now?

Re: My Mosaic

😩

I’m so sorry I’m such a waste of space. I am repulsed by the person I have become.

Re: My Mosaic

hey @Bow, we're here to listen. Like @creative_writer said, sometimes our mental can make us think things about ourselves and feel worse about our selves.

I'm wondering what you need to feel a bit better or remind yourself that these feelings will pass?

For me, I try to spend time with other people to distract myself or just say 1 thing I'm proud of myself for (even if it seems small). Not sure if that might help?

Re: My Mosaic

@Bow you are not a waste of space. I totally get where you are coming from, because I've been struggling with the same thing today too. Sometimes life doesn't feel worth living, but it's depression talking. We can hold onto each other, we can make it through ❤️
