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

I am home, stitched up and in bed now @Snowie im heaps tired.

they wouldn’t give me a bed. I swear they treat mh patients like crap cause we chose to be there.
I grabbed a couple of blankets and laid on the floor for a while. I’d had my meds and they were actually working for once. I was sleepy. Some dragon lady came along and demanded I get up or she would fetch more security. Her words…. You cant lay on the floor cause people will post it on social media and make them look bad.

Re: My Mosaic

Glad to hear you are at home and in bed @Bow I hope that helps just a little.

I'm sorry that you had to go through what you did hon. That isn't fair on you and frankly just not good enough. Everyone, regardless of why they are there, should be treated with dignity and respect.

Please know we are here for you hon. Have to go pick up the kids from school soon but will be here for you 💗💗

Re: My Mosaic

I’m so tired. Feeling so on edge. So hypervigilant. Nausea.

does anyone else get triggered by sirens? Our town has a lot. Every time I hear them I know I didn’t do anything but I immediately think are they coming for me…. What did I do wrong???

Re: My Mosaic

I do @Bow . I get triggered by sirens. I had to watch many episodes of Paramedics to help ease the panic that comes with sirens. But once I stopped watching the episodes, the panic started coming back. I think it'll have to be long term exposure therapy.

I hear you @Bow

Re: My Mosaic

No I didn't @Bow . I will look now. Hope it was okay. It's something I've never done on the forums.

Re: My Mosaic

Hugs @Bow . I just read it. Thank you for sharing. We have certainly been on a similar journey. Perhaps I'm just that little bit further than you? To be honest, it's only been about 3 years since my recovery. There are still parts of my journey that I'm still recovering from. However, I found that once the recovery journey starts for BPD, it just goes forward and is hard to go back.

It's a very unique and unusual mental health condition.
