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 what to say other than I’m thinking of you @Bow

Re: My Mosaic

Thanks @NatureLover im not sure how I feel about being here. I know that I appreciate and love the support and friendship here, but I just get into too much trouble. Have posts removed. That’s why I wonder if this is the right place for me. And yes some posts trigger me, it’s just the nature of the forums, none of yours though.

I don’t know what the answer is. Think I’m just in too bad a place at the moment, especially with doing this exposure therapy and everything being so intense. I think I actually just need to stay away from my own thread, that way I won’t share stuff and get into trouble. Just support others. But I’m not really in the place to do that either, I really don’t have much to give at the moment.

sorry just rambling now.

Sending lots of loving support @Bow

I get triggered a lot on the forums and I used to get posts removed a lot but I tend to journal my dark thoughts now.

We’re in this together my dear friend so hold on tight.

Re: My Mosaic

@Bow, sorry to hear you get triggered. I’ve been triggered too, it’s hard. Now I have to assess where I am psychological to determine which threads are safe to read.

I’ve had posts removed too, sometimes I say too much in the heat of the moment. I even posted something yesterday but immediately removed it because I didn’t want to trigger anyone. I know you are good at writing, maybe try writing things out. Sometimes I write poems and I keep them to myself. Other people journal. I just find poetry more cathartic.

Thanks @Eve7 @Snowie @creative_writer

sometimes I have the need to be heard… especially about the things that have happened to me, I can’t be silenced about it anymore. But this is not the place for that. Need to remember that.

I will try writing it out and taking it to my psychologist

Re: My Mosaic

@Bow, psych sessions are a safe place to share your story. I know it can feel like you’re being silenced, and being silenced feels so suffocating. I know you really want to share your story, and that’s a really brave thing, we are unfortunately not equipped to support you with that. You will always be a valuable member and we will be here to support you in ways we can 💖.

A tip, to help you utilise each psych appointment, you can always write out things and think about what you want to get out of it the appointment. I feel having a sense of direction helps you utilise the time better.

Re: My Mosaic

I understand having posts removed is upsetting, I've had it done too @Bow

I'm glad none of my posts have triggered you.

I understand...thanks for explaining. Exposure therapy is so intense and awful, but so necessary. I know I can't face it regarding the germophobia, so I admire you. I did face it regarding the childhood (actually lifelong) severe emotional abuse from my parents, but that was because I couldn't go on as I was. Facing it resulted in a lot of healing - not full healing but enough to get on with my life. I am hoping that happens for you too 💜

Re: My Mosaic

Thanks @NatureLover im hoping that this helps enough for me to also move on with my life, enough so that it’s not so debilitating. But I do also have other traumas….

how are you doing my friend? How’s your cleaning going? Your 1hr extra?
