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 🙂

I don’t know why it’s so hard @Former-Member I’m so exhausted and just sitting… and then I start floating off.

Re: My Mosaic

@Bow it sounds like a rest will be helpful ❤️

I know when I feel extra fragile, even starting self-care tasks can be hard. Even though I know it will help. So maybe figuring out why it's difficult and strategies to overcome it could be helpful.

Maybe speaking with your therapist about the difficulty could be helpful? Especially as a tool to help you regulate during a very difficult time.

Take care tonight ❤️

Re: My Mosaic

I’m hoping you are feeling a little bit better than last night @Bow. I’m thinking of you today. You are so brave and so strong. I’m here if you need me.

Re: My Mosaic

I went in for round 2 today. I managed to get the majority of what happened that night out yesterday, however last night I broke down in the bottom of the shower over leaving significant details out. I just couldn’t get it out.

I went in and admitted that today- she knew I left details out, she could tell, and we worked on getting that out today. There are still details to be added, but I had had enough today. I feel utterly broken and smashed this arvo.

We will continue the work on Monday and Tuesday next week.

Re: My Mosaic

Hey @Bow.

It’s ok that you still have more to add. I’m sure this is the most you have ever told anyone. You have every right to be smashed. You are doing so well and I am so proud of you.

Can you try your self soothing strategies or maybe have a little nap, if that’s possible with D? Do you have support for the rest of the week?

Sitting here with you sending my thoughts and prayers

Re: My Mosaic

Thank you @Snowie @Emelia8 @Captain24 @Paperdaisy i truly appreciate your words of support and encouragement.

I did some colouring in with my daughter this afternoon and then I had a nap. I have forced some dinner down tonight and now I am almost ready for bed again, but I will make myself get up and have a shower first, but not until after home and away @Captain24

Tomorrow I have an appointment with my case manager. I am going to ask if we can go for a walk or sit in the park over the road instead of sitting in one of the rooms, I have spent far too much time in those rooms this week already. My psychologist was going to speak with my case manager about talking with me tomorrow about what kind of support I may need over the coming days and the weekend.

Friday we will try and get to the beach.

I am so glad that I took my cushion in with me. Yes I felt stupid walking in with it, but i used it the whole time the last 2 days.

I’ll be glad to have a break over the coming days, but I am struggling to stay presents and not disassociate.
