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 🙂

Hoping you feel stronger today, dear @Bow ...

Re: My Mosaic

I actually feel incredibly weak and lethargic today @NatureLover

Re: My Mosaic

I actually said a very similar thing to my nurse today @Bow.

She told me not to take it personally, especially after yesterday appointment. Apparently it’s the number 1 complaint in the mental health system at the moment.

Sitting with you

Re: My Mosaic

Take care of yourself @Bow. Are you able to focus on being healthy to be able to cope with everything that’s going on at home? Or doesn’t it work like that? Remembering that I don’t fully understand it.

Nah doesn’t really work like that @Captain24

Sorry said things in my last post that I shouldn’t of and it got deleted 😩

my ED is really loud and relentless at the moment. Giving in to all its demands. My psych knows, she wants me to stop hurling verbal abuse at myself in front of the mirror and body checking and wants me to eat by the clock, but I can’t. Can’t do any of it.

Re: My Mosaic

I’m so sorry @Bow

You did sound like you had a little bit of control over it. Has something changed?

In response to: Re: My Mosaic

Re: My Mosaic

I did have some control…. Things were going good at the end of last year @Captain24 but the whole pressure for ‘new year new me’… and all the social media crap that I scroll past, was pretty easy to give into when I already had so much self hatred towards myself and my body. I seen it coming. I even spoke with my dietitian at the beginning of December before she went on leave about it.

Re: My Mosaic

I’m so sorry. @Bow. I’m sorry if I was one of them.

Sorry for my ignorance but if you gained some control before are you able to try again?

Re: My Mosaic

No not you at all @Captain24 !

That makes me sad, @Bow 😞 Even though I know it's an illness and the self abuse is part of the illness. 😞

You are a precious person and much valued by your family and us here. 💜
