My Mosaic

Children should be children

innocent and shy

playing games

down under the trap door

fortes were created

so adult eyes could not see

the games they made me play

were not as you would imagine

there was no shame

Nor any embarrassment

they just laughed

they just wanted to look

i didn’t understand

I was just 8

but it didn’t feel safe

it didn’t feel ok

but of what choice did I have

just a pawn in their game

I'm hearing you @Bow

Hugs.

Hi @Bow , so sorry your CM is so unreliable and so unhelpful!! 😡

I've just finished the book "The Body Keeps the Score" by Bessel van der Kolk, about trauma. I learnt that the sense of having some control over your life is very important for MH. Thought I'd mention it as this point seems relevant for you.

Hoping your meeting with your CM goes OK today 🤞 and your bloods too. (I know your SW is supportive)

Sometimes I think you can see what I am thinking @Bow

Even though hard, thank you for those words.

I hope you got some sleep and today goes well for you hon.

Sending lots of love 💌💌

Thanks @NatureLover @Snowie

I really didn’t sleep well again last night and I’m exhausted tonight. I’m so tired of being tired.
I went and had my bloods this morning, gonna assume they are ok cause I haven’t had a call from my gp this morning. Guess that is good with me going away Sunday.
One of the support worker came by this morning. We chatted. Then my CM came and we completes the community housing application. I’ve done some packing too.

@Snowie I guess experiencing trauma there are bound to be words that we can all relate too.

Hey @Bow @Snowie @NatureLover ,

Good to see you.

Hey @tyme how are you? How’s your day been?

Tassie? @Bow . That's nice. Is that the brother who isn't very close to you? The one who doesn't have children but doesn't come and see you?

I hope you have a good trip anyway.

Yeah my older brother @tyme he has terminal cancer- 18mths-2yrs. So going to spend some time with him. He lives on his own but has a lot of support. He doesn’t like coming up here cause of the heat… plus he can’t travel anymore cause of his treatment
