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

Well I got my lecture from my gp as predicted. She’s concerned about my increase in SH and very quick decline in my mood. She suggested that we look at a planned admission to do ECT again. I had plans for after my gp appointment to catch up with a group of friends, but my gp sent me and my support worker to comm mh. I wasn’t at all keen to go. I knew that my CM wasn’t in today and didn’t wanna talk to some random. I’m also not at all keen for a long admission for ECT again.

My support worker and I sat on the steps outside and chatted. Worked out a plan. She wasn’t gonna force me to go to comm mh and we agreed that I wasn’t at a point of needing to go to hospital, but I agreed to go comm mh and see if a particular worker was available that I felt comfortable talking to.
They weren’t available and someone else was gonna come down and see me. Thankfully it was someone else that I was ok with. We came up with a plan. I walked out feeling a little lighter, but I have since sunk again. I feel quite distressed. Although I desperately don’t want to be here and I constantly have those thoughts, I am safe as that is not an option at the moment. But by SH urges are extremely high.

Tomorrow I see my CM in the morning. Then my support worker is coming to do a home visit. And Friday I see my pdoc.


Feeling really vulnerable tonight. Exhausted too.

Hi @Bow
Hearing that a lot of happening for you 💛 I am really sorry.

Here to chat and hold lots of space for you, you are not alone.

It definitely sounds like a pretty exhausting day.

Re: My Mosaic

Doesn’t help when I have these big appointments @fluffylight and then I got home and get on the treadmill for ages.

In response to: Re: My Mosaic

Re: My Mosaic

I can acknowledge and recognise that so much.
You had so many of those appointments.

You're sharing that you're feeling sunk again and distressed, hugs 💛

How was hopping on the treadmill okay for you? @Bow

Hey @Bow.. I’m sorry it’s so hard for you right now. I don’t want to intrude on what others are doing for you right now. But I just want you to know that I’m listening.

Re: My Mosaic

Thanks @Captain24 i appreciate you.

@fluffylight it’s exhausting most of the time. It’s compulsive, can’t give it a miss. I have moments where it feels good and I like moving my body, and it’s good for me to move a little. But the amount of time I spend on it is unhealthy I know.

In response to: Re: My Mosaic

Re: My Mosaic

I had that too sometimes with compulsive behaviours with moving my body @Bow

There's a fine line where it was positive for me and I loved it but other times it was compulsion and unhealthy.

You can recognise that 💛
When do you find it most becomes unhealthy?
