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 🙂

Hi @Bow
Sitting right with you. How was your appointment?

Re: My Mosaic

Im listening @Bow. There is space at my table for you to help with my lego. Wanna join me?

Re: My Mosaic

That's so sweet @Captain24 ..

I've got a glass cabinet for lego. I reckon I'll do it over the christmas break. Also , do you use the books or lego app? My 6 yr old nephew can do even the hardest ones, but needs the ipad app to do it. It allows him to rotate it and look at if from all angles.

I love @Bow 's disney one. I envy it! At the same time, I acknowledge how hard things are for you. We're here if you want a chat.

Whatcha building now @Captain24 ?

I use the booklets @tyme

@fluffylight my appointment was pretty confronting. It was helpful that I did write a lot of things down last night and I could just give it to my psychologist to read. We ended up talking about all the vulnerabilities that I am currently dealing with at the moment that is making things so much harder. Some things were insightful.

no real solutions, additional strategies or anything helpful though. I still feel really hopeless and desperate.

Re: My Mosaic

I am glad you found writing to be helpful. Is that something you usually do?
It sounds like writing things down helped you move towards a safer space @Bow

I really would love to get back into writing things down myself.

Oh 💛 I can hear how much is coming up for you. This sounds really hard to be dealing with right now. You deserve to be gentle on yourself.

I have lots of hope for you.

I’m doing the dried flower centre piece @Bow.

I couldn’t get a bookshelf so I had to get a cube unit. I hope it works.

Im so sorry you still feel that way. Sometimes insight can be helpful to understand things but it doesn’t necessarily solve things.

Re: My Mosaic

I don’t write too much @fluffylight mostly just for therapy. I find verbalising things really hard. Words are just really hard to get out at times… alot of the time. So I write when I need people to know things. That’s what I did last night.

I wish it was a daily habit, but I’ve tried so many times. It just doesn’t happen.

Im so exhausted 😩

Re: My Mosaic

I don’t currently have that set @Captain24 , but mum has told me not to buy it…. 🤔

yeah the insight has certainly been interesting. Lots of process. But realising how truly fucked up my life is.

In response to: Re: My Mosaic

Re: My Mosaic

Thats a nice way to get things out @Bow
I admire that you are able to look for other ways to meet your needs when verbalising can be hard.

Oh me to! I used to a lot when I was younger.

How is your night looking like?

Re: My Mosaic

Hoping to go to bed soon @fluffylight

My support worker is visiting in the morning. Then I am going to see my case manager after that.

how about you?
