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

Maybe it’s your mums way of handling things. @Bow. If she keeps busy she can’t think.

It sounds like there is a miss communication within comm health. Hopefully someone gets back to you today and can let you know what is going on.

It sounds like d is doing ok. Maybe she hasn’t processed it yet or maybe she is more resilient that’s you realise.

Thinking of you

Re: My Mosaic

Sometimes staying busy is good for us @Bow Takes our mind of what is happening at that moment.

I'm glad D went to school happily. Kids deal with things in such different ways to adults. School is probably a good distraction for her too.

I hope you can get your meds sorted out soon hon. If they were going to give you two days worth, then that's what they should do.

Happy to hear the suicide support group is put of for another week. It sounds like a really good group to go to. It is so much easier being around people who 'get it'.

I hope the rest of your day goes ok and you can get some rest.

Re: My Mosaic

Hopefully my meds have been sorted out now… but not holding my breath until they are here and with whom is witnessing me. Urgh, I’m such a bloody stuff up.

yeah I know this is how mum is dealing with things…. I keep myself busy too. It helps.

thanks

Re: My Mosaic

I’ve just had my support worker come by for a visit and to give me my meds. She said that it should be sorted out now and that tomorrow community mh will do it and should provide meds for the following night also. Fingers crossed they get it right.

Re: My Mosaic

I hope my meds are now sorted too @NatureLover will see what happens in the next hours or so when comm mh are due to stop by with tonight and tomorrows meds.

am I able to grieve??? I don’t know to be honest. How do you even grieve? Holding a lot of stuff in. Keeping a lid on it so I can contain everything.

Re: My Mosaic

@Bow, it’s okay to let the emotions out, I know it can be hard if you’re not used to it, but I hope you find the time and place to release all the pain you carry 💖🫂
