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

Yes, I remember when I used to dissociate, I learnt as a young child in an abusive family, and it's your safe place where nothing can touch you. It's a desperate need to go there. So I do understand, I think @Bow 😞

Funny, in writing this I've realised I haven't dissociated now for many years. I got enough healing through working through my trauma in therapy over many years I think. Not full healing of course, but enough.

I really hope you can too, dear @Bow 💜 It's so incredibly hard, I know 😞

Re: My Mosaic

I'm wondering, could you allow yourself to dissociate at night, when things are the worst? That way you wouldn't be fighting the dissociation all the time....might be a bit of relief and help you to fight it in the daytime? @Bow

Re: My Mosaic

I try to fight it as much as I can during the day @NatureLover couple of weeks ago my daughter walked in when it was happening, I don’t like her to see me when I am like that. Bad things happen when I dissociate though. There have been a number of occasions where I have SH, which has been really scary.

I'm sorry, I didn't realise @Bow 😞

Do you not realise you're SH-ing when you dissociate?

Re: My Mosaic

Nope, no idea @NatureLover when I come back I notice things. No recollection of doing it. It’s scary and doesn’t make sense.
