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 🙂

I'm so sorry @Bow

Lots of hugs to you 💜 please know I am holding so much space for you, this sounds very distressing to be experiencing right now.

What usually helps you during these times?

To be honest I just can’t think straight @fluffylight

I have just put my daughter to bed and I’m not sure what I need to do

Re: My Mosaic

@Bow hey hun, sorry to hear you're being hit with flashbacks. So rough.

Deep breaths, and remember your grounding tools. Anything you could do right now to focus on present sensations? Hot shower, cup of tea, something sensory like that?

Here with you 💜

Re: My Mosaic

@Bow I'm glad to hear you were doing well! And just because you're having a rough time now, doesn't mean it's all over, and you can't pull yourself out of it. It can definitely feel like there's no way off a downward spiral, but maybe have a think about what was going right for you, and try to remember - both mind and body - how that felt for you.

I know it's hard to take the longer path back to being regulated, but it's also the path that doesn't come with another layer of crappy feelings in the aftermath.

Re: My Mosaic

Good morning @Bow

I hope today is kinder to you.

I do wish for you that you can find your way back up even if it’s only a little bit.
