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

At least you have wifi now! @Bow. Are you still in ED or finally on the ward?

Im sorry that you have no visitors. But would it help with the reset to not see anyone? Plus there is always FaceTime with D

30 hours waiting for a bed - OMG @Bow , I am so proud of you for sticking it out!

Are you in a ward yet?

I am wishing the food to be better for you and all your meds to be given in time ❤️

Re: My Mosaic

I was moved up to a mental health ward in the middle of the night. The ‘young adults’ wards. I’m not a young adult! But glad to have a bed finally.

I’ve just seen the psychiatrist. She was lovely. Had to tell her so much stuff though. I really do want this to be a short admission. I stress so much of my ex finding out that I am in hospital again and my daughter is due to see him on Saturday… no, Friday night. She is going to try and do a sleep over on Friday night. His big idea. Thinks that cause she hasnt managed to do Saturday nights that Fridays would be different! 🤔

I’m glad you finally got a bed @Bow. I hope you got some sleep. I’m proud of you opening up to the psychiatrist! I know that would have been hard.

Im hoping that it’s a short stay to reset for you. You don’t need any added stress right now. But if a longer stay is needed. I am here for you.

Re: My Mosaic

Well I’ve just been moved from the young adults ward down to the adults ward. I’ve already asked whether I will have to see a new pdoc tomorrow, if each ward has a different one and the nurses weren’t sure. If I see someone new tomorrow I’m going home. What an absolute shit waste of a week. I am so angry and frustrated.

Re: My Mosaic

@Bow after a long time of waiting I am glad to hear that you are in the proper ward. Hoping you can see the same pdoc. I know how hard and frustrating it is to have to repeat our story over and over again.

I don't blame you for being angry and frustrated.

Sitting here with you hon, you have been in my thoughts all day 💗💗

Re: My Mosaic

I’ve managed to eat 3 meals today. That’s huge for me. Really fighting for this to just remain a short psych admission and not have it turn into a medical one. I explained that that was something that I was really fearful of to the pdoc this morning. She said she will have the dietitian come see me.

I don’t think you’re allowed to have pens and pencils on this ward. They took all of them off me. They were going to take my textas to colour in too. But I asked why I wasn’t allowed them and they gave them back. Same with my little paint pots for my paint by numbers. They didn’t take any of that off me in the young adults ward. Now I have nothing really to write in my journal with.

gonna have myself a shower and crawl back into bed. I’ve slept a lot today… probably making up for the lack of sleep the last couple of days.

thanks for the support @Snowie @Captain24 @NatureLover and others. I truly appreciate it.

Hey @Bow

Thanks for the update. I’m glad that they left you some things to do. It’s so good that they have the dietitian to work with you.

I hope the shower is relaxing and you are able to sleep well tonight.

Thinking of you
