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 🙂

@Bow, I’m sorry, it might be worth a try if you feel comfortable with doing it. Sending you lots of hugs 🫂

Re: My Mosaic

I imagine it's better in the long run @Bow for them to have as much info as possible. Though I also understand if that increases your feelings of vulnerability. Might be good to remind yourself of past moments when you've been nervous about being open, and how she reacted in those moments to help reassure yourself that it will be okay.

Thanks @creative_writer but it’s honestly not worth the hassle. Things are complicated, others on the team know. I’m best to just put up with it and wait.

I guess so @Jynx and I know out of all of them she will be the most understanding. And I guess the worst she can do is contact my gp or CM.

@Bow, I’m sorry you haven’t been feeling heard lately 😔. It’s never a good feeling, I’ve found, that sometimes you have to be your biggest advocate, it’s unfortunate but true. I hope to change things one day in the mental health system, we have some gaps that need to be addressed

Re: My Mosaic

For sure @creative_writer its hard when your punished for mistakes you’ve made and they…. My pdoc and treating team, have basically already made up their minds what they are going to do next. What I say, my input or feedback doesn’t really make any difference at the moment. I’m at the mercy of their decisions. They are all in control.

Re: My Mosaic

@Bow, I’ve had moments where I had to change my supports because I also hate not having control and autonomy, but at the same time, I also realise that’s not always an option. I’ve had horrific experiences, one pdoc would essentially use her phone while I spoke to her, and then she blamed me for not making progress. I wasn’t the one using the phone :face_with_rolling_eyes:

Re: My Mosaic

@Bow super tough to not feel in control, that is for sure. If you could change something about your treatment, what would it be?

Re: My Mosaic

Yeah I am kinda stuck with community mental health @creative_writer im grateful for the free services. I see my pdoc and psychologist there. It just sucks when there is no choice. I’ve had some pretty horrible experiences with pdocs too prior to comm mh finally taking me on. I’ve just made too many attempts in the last year and now I am being punished. It’s been shit

Re: My Mosaic

Oh @Jynx too many to pick from. Many things that I would like to change.
