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

and of course it matters. thats why we have guidelines and the CGs and peer workers here are trained in spotting it as well.

i hope that youll be ok and can manage to do something nice for yourself. maybe stay off that thread for now..?

Re: My Mosaic

Thanks @outlander I had already flagged something else 😩 sometimes it’s just too triggering being here.

In response to: Re: My Mosaic

Re: My Mosaic

Re: My Mosaic

Hugs @Bow ❤️ sitting with you my friend

That makes it a long day @outlander , are you working tomorrow

In response to: Re: My Mosaic

Re: My Mosaic

i work for different companies @Bow so it really depends on the day. sometimes i work in a group home which im slowly leaving for other opportunities. ive started with 2 new companies and i work both admin and on the floor, and hopefully next year ill be working in a medical clinic when ive been able to increase my training even more.

i dont always work doubles just the days i can fit it in. usually i wouldve finished at 830/9 tonight but had to find someone to cover the nightshift and they cant get here till 1030.


i do work tomorrow @Shaz51 start at 830 but only working till 4 tomorrow so far. i have a couple of days coming up that i need to have off and then at the end of november im away for 2 weeks so im trying to work and save for expenses.

Hi @Shaz51

Re: My Mosaic

Hey @outlander @Bow I have removed the posts, thank you for flagging them. I have emailed you both as well just to check in, and I'm sorry you were exposed to triggering things, it is very disheartening that the forums feel unsafe for you at times. Please don't hesitate to let us know if you need any further support.

Re: My Mosaic

sometimes its a blessing in disguise for me @Bow its one of the ways i keep safe. keeping busy is a better option but i do get exhausted with several medical conditions of my own so i have to remember to slow down sometimes. but it catches up with me sometimes and i cant move for a couple of days while my body physically recovers from all the work.
work will be abit more consistent soon i hope, im wanting to give up my carers role at home and place the person i care for in a nursing home so thats a challange in itself at the moment but worth it in the long term for us both

what are you up to tomorrow?
