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

@Bow, it really does leave you broken. I processed a detail from trauma a week and a bit ago, it still haunts me. Remember, you are not your feelings.

Re: My Mosaic

I seen my psychiatrist this morning. I really wish I was better at being honest and communicating to people how I am really doing before I end up doing something stupid. She starts asking me questions and I just shut down. I don’t really wanna talk about my trauma with her, I have built a safe relationship with my psychologist for that.
But there were things that I should have told her today that I just didn’t have the words for. I get in there and I just shut down. I walked out today feeling unsupported (my own fault) and frustrated with myself.
She did increase my night meds, hopefully that will help with my sleep issues…. My case manager updated the pharmacy today, but when they delivered my meds tonight the increase wasn’t there 😩

Re: My Mosaic

@Bow, it’s totally okay not to talk about trauma with your psychiatrist. I have never really discussed trauma in great detail with a psychiatrist, my old psychiatrist was aware of the nature of my trauma but respected my boundaries so didn’t push me. My psych sessions is where I processed trauma. Only my psych really knows the details on my support team. I hope you can get your medication sorted.

Re: My Mosaic

So tired today. Horrible nights sleep. Went to the pharmacy this morning, so freaking frustrated, they won’t update my meds until Wednesday. So angry that I have zero control over my meds.

Hey @Bow, it can be so hard when we don't feel that sense of agency, even if it's theoretically meant to be helping us. Sitting with you 🌻 What do you think you might do with your day? Its a slow, rainy one here.

Re: My Mosaic

Thanks @Former-Member i just want a half decent nights sleep.

I’ve got a list of things that I can do today. Gardening, painting, Lego, do my nails, exercise. But maybe I will just sleep.
