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

Yeah @amber22 there are so many back stories and history, you’d feel lost watching it!

@Shaz51 my daughter is still unwell. Very chesty cough and a fever. I’ve just tucked her into bed. She missed her school excursion today and her class is hosting the school assembly tomorrow and she was speaking in it which she was so excited about. Maybe she will be better tomorrow but I doubt it.

Re: My Mosaic

Sorry to hear about your daughter being so sick @Bow , and also you not feeling safe on the forums over the last day or so... Do you feel safe here, on your own thread?

Sorry also to hear about your cousin's passing. 😞

I hope your appt today with your old pdoc and your CM goes well... 💜

Re: My Mosaic

Good morning @Bow

I hope D feels a little better today. It is hard watching our kids being unwell. Just wish we could make them all better.

I hope you got some sleep last night and today is a little better for you.

Sending lots of love your way 💕💕

Re: My Mosaic

Thanks @NatureLover @Snowie

daughter is home again today but is much better. She will be back to school tomorrow I think. I am suppose to provide the school with a medical certificate because she has been away sick for 3 days but I really can’t deal with the hassle that that brings. Getting an appointment with a doctor at the clinic that I take her to is so difficult and to do a Telehealth which would be ideal, is no longer bulk billed. I would take her up to the pharmacy I go to, they provide medical certificates for $20, but I really don’t wanna have to pay for it! I have communicated with the school every day that she has been sick that will just have to suffice.

I have just got home from a really intense and long appointment with my pdoc. I don’t think I have ever been in there for the full hour before… it actually went over. We spent the majority of the time talking about my eating. I tried to verbalise the intensity of how much I hate myself, how fat and disgusting I am and how desperate I am to lose weight. I found a lot of what she said and did really unhelpful. She talked a lot of numbers. She wanted to work out my bmi to show me that I am not as fat and overweight as I say I am, but because I refuse to get on the scales she asked me what my heaviest weight was, which I told her and she said that I am nowhere near that now, so said I don’t have as much weight to lose as I think. But she is wrong. I told her she was wrong.

they want me to pack away my bike…. And have given me until Monday to do that. My CM will do a home visit on Monday to check and if I haven’t done it my pdoc reckons she herself will come and move it. I said it won’t be happening. I’m not packing it away.

pdoc also said she’s gonna buy me a weeks supply of gaterade. I have to drink a bottle a day apparently to keep my electrolytes up.

she challenged me heaps and did the whole…. If it was your daughter saying all this what would I say and do. I just got annoyed and sat there shrugging my shoulders. I really dislike when people try doing that stuff.

I have no desire to do anything that she suggested. I don’t think she really understood the intensity of the self hatred and disgust that I have. I took a shower this morning before my appointment, I had to. It had been 4 days. That in itself is disgusting.

she changed my nightmare meds and reduced one of my night time meds. The new nightmare one should help me sleep too. But she warned me about the side effects, both of which can be impacted by my ED behaviours, which I have no desire to reduce.

well, I see my CM on her own tomorrow, will see how that goes…

Re: My Mosaic

That all sounds difficult @Bow I don’t know what I can say that would be helpful other than it’s more important you take control your life rather than feel you are being controlled by others.

Can you set some goals that you feel are helpful and doable?

Sending lots of love 🩵💙🩵

Re: My Mosaic

@Bow glad D is getting better. Hopefully she can go to school tomorrow.

I agree with @Eve7 can you set some goals for yourself? I find setting goals I know I can do a bit helpful.

It sounds like it was an intense session with your pdoc. Glad to hear that you are seeing your CM tomorrow. That appt. might go a bit better.

Re: My Mosaic

The thing is though @Snowie @Eve7 the only goals I have are to lose weight and get thinner. I am desperate.
sorry nevermind
