The array of problems

The array of problems

Well hi there everybody. I was just looking for people who may be able to help with some tricky stuff im faced with. -here's the life I got... -there's the life I want... and there is a whole lot of technical, physical, mental or emotional issues between the two.

I have struggled with mental problems for a very long time. And I think the gravity of the story and reality of my situation. Induces shock and trauma. And has to sink in over again each day. -But there is apart of me. That weighs things up and desires a better life and to help myself.

Now, if I could...I'd magically employ myself in a good career. And change everything around. But I can't! -so im more or less stuck with very limited options. Reoccurring problems. In the same circumstances. -which gets me down and becomes tiring...

And im tired of feeling like I do.

Im aware of what they say helps and what doesn't. -its just really hard to put into place and follow through with everything.

Re: The array of problems

Just having positive people to talk with about this stuff is a big help. -there will provably always be good and bad days... but oh my! When it's bad it's bad......

I'm happy to openly talk about anything if there is something in particular you were or anyone else was wanting to discuss or know about......

And the same goes in return...

A few people have mentioned a positive diary and a negative diary... and keeping the good one and destroying th bad one. Have you heard about that theory?

No body wants to suffer. But unfortunately I think it's just apart of life. And it's good to know help is there when things aren't going so well...

hi @eudemonism

just abit of info for you... if your on a computer? if you type in the @symbol it comes up with people in the conversations so if your directing something at a particular person or anything then it tags them

you can talk about anything you like. good or bad, whatever your comfortable with.

umm i havent heard of that method before but i am a fan of journalling both the good and the bad bits of the days. if its a really bad day i still try to lsit one positive even if its as simple as i got out of bed, or i completed one of my art drawing or i was on the forums so that you kinda end the day off on a good note if that makes sense...

that might work for you to also write down all the good things as well so when you are having a bad day then you can reflect back to the good days

Re: The array of problems

Ok thanks @Former-Member am only using a smart phone and had to manually type your username in. And I'll keep what your saying in mind. Cause quite often I have stuff (thoughts) or stuff happening (real life) that is to much to handle ori need reassurance with.

I got lots of stuff to work on each day. Between my home duties, social life, volunteering, hobbies and -other stuff.

I just need to weed out the negative bits.

I think preparation, prevention and preoccupation will be key elements. 🙂

Feeling very helpless and desperate.

Re: The array of problems

@Former-Member, wow, horses & movies - that's a great day in my book. I use to love feeding my horses, and afternoons, they came when I called to give em a carrot with my kidz. Fun days. Couldn't ride them much though, frightened me. Do you ride much yourself?
