Re: My Mosaic

@Bow oh that's sick! Hmm they would surely have any weight restriction info posted somewhere? Or you could make an enquiry? Sounds like it could be an absolute blast, especially for your lil one 😊

Re: My Mosaic

I looked and I’d be fine @Jynx  but I’d still be so conscious of it and let it ruin a good time. 
Will stick with the caves I think.

@NatureLover  I will probably write a few things down and take it with me to my appointment. I need to contact her and organise to go to her instead of her coming here- realised I’d feel better that way. There is away out if I need to leave.


That sounds like a good idea @Bow . You're probably super anxious about it...hope you're OK today... 🤞💜

Re: My Mosaic

Yeah pretty brutal day @Jynx  a day at home, which meant I spent an awfully long time on the treadmill. I did do some painting, but although it kept me busy, it does not distract my mind. I sit there ruminating on things. Particularly around how much my body is not coping at the moment and my appointment with my CM tomorrow and the possible outcomes of that. 

My support worker came by this afternoon to do my meds and we chatted for a while. She asked about a gp appointment, she really put the pressure on today after I told her about last night. Was going to make it herself. But I said no. 

Sorry same stuff just a different day here. Y’all must be over it cause I certainly am. I’m so over it.

Re: My Mosaic

@Bow I'm glad you got some painting in! Might not distract the mind but it is still a creative process and thus good for the soul. Do you do like still life, landscapes, stuff like that? Have you ever painted your feelings? Friend of mine does so, she sketches and draws the hard and the dark stuff. The drawings come out pretty brutal, horror theme and stuff, but she says it's really cathartic. 

 

Glad you got to chat to your support worker, it does sound like they're willing to put in heaps of effort for you. Still facing that mental roadblock with the gp tho huh? I hope it's something you can move through, when you're ready to do so. I imagine feeling pressured externally isn't helping. 

 

I imagine it's more tiresome from your perspective hun. I'm still here, still listening 💜

Re: My Mosaic

I do mostly paint by numbers @Jynx  i love to paint and that way I can do it without having to think too much. I sometimes do some freehand stuff though. Sometimes I get images in my head that help explain how I feel. I try to draw it. I sometimes show my psychologist, my old psych use to love to interpret them… I always found her interpretation interesting and she would see things that I didn’t notice and didn’t mean to do. Sometimes it’s easier to draw than put things into words. 

I chatted a bit more today about that roadblock around my gp with my support worker today. She thought it was the gp that I had the issue with, I explained no. It was the bloods that I need to have. That I feared the results and what that meant. She asked if I wanted to avoid hospital and of course I do. I don’t want hospital at all, I don’t want any medical intervention. That’s if my bloods are bad. But if they are all fine, then that tells me I’m not sick. That I need to push myself even more. 

I had a chai this afternoon. Thought maybe something in my stomach would help with the chronic nausea I am experiencing all day, but it didn’t. And I did something new after that chai that I haven’t done before. Out of desperation. 

My anxiety is increasing about my CM appointment tomorrow and I’m also getting anxious about Mondays pdoc appointment. Scared that if I refuse to do my bloods that they will continue to hold back on my meds. 

im so desperate @Jynx
