Coming to terms with reality

Coming to terms with reality

Hi Readers, i am suffering from "mental health issues" and it is an ongoing, daily battle. I am pretty much constantly wrestling with the thoughts going on in my mind. And my psychical life seems too be suffering for it. (There is a huge difference between physical and mental ) something is definitely not right! So each day I'm waking up and going about my routine. And over the last few days, weeks and months. I have been noticing changes in my mentality toward myself, others and life. And some questions such as, what is my life about? And what should my objectives be? Have arisen... of course like we all are, I'm subject too making decisions... and there has been the same options in front of me time and time again for months on end. And it becomes rather draining and mundane. And i feel myself going around in circles like something simple just ain't connecting.

I enjoy writing, art, music. And peace of mind... walking, reading, meditation. Taking care of myself. Socialising. Etcetera. Getting ahead, getting in front. Planning, dreaming and so on. And do my best to look after myself. While accepting that it can only ever be so much.

But there just something not quite right. And I'm suffering for it on a daily basis. And I'm tired and fed up with going through the same stuff everyday. And in all honesty. Alot of my suffering comes from prospective and thought processes.

Does anyone wanna talk with me about some things that might help? In particular dealing with people no matter who they are. Can be very stressful and cause lots of procrastinating about pros and cons. In particularly people who i think about reaching out to for support. Because of dilemmas dramas and social dynamics. And picking up on things that "aint really happening" "gut feelings type of stuff " "intuition" that type of thing. And enjoying time with people is great! I just tend to be overly preoccupied with symptoms to be worried about socialising sometimes "Symptoms which involves others"

@eudemonism Hi eudemonism I always look forward to your posts they show a young man full of not only intelligence but emotional intelligence as well. Do not worry you will get there (this is what I tell my own son who is battling his own demons). You are young and have your whole life in front of you. Just hang in there and believe in yourself 🙂

@Bunniekins life without medication is totally different then life with medication.

@eudemonism Hi eudemonism lifewithout medication for me is insanity. I cannot be without my meds even though I wish I didnt have to have them. That is the reality of it for me.

Re: Coming to terms with reality

@Bunniekins Yea I'm hearing you with that one. I'm still clinging onto who I possibly would be. Could be. Should be. I get so annoyed, frustrated and irritated at everything in my way. So basically, I've got to give up for my peace of mind.

@eudemonism eudemonism I wish my words could give you 'some peace of mind'. The annoyance, frustration and irritation that you feel on a day to day basis, can you use that to push yourself forward through these barriers that have been stopping you from achieving what you have been wanting to achieve.

@Bunniekins how do I explain this?.. I want more out of life... I've been through all these stages of life where I've tried everything and this is where it ends up.

@eudemonism can you tell me what things that you want the most? is it a girlfriend, a car, a house, friendships all the things that those without a mi find so easy to attain. If so I understand completely I have a son who is in a similar perdicament. I dont know what the answer is unfortunately. Everyone has to have their own journey and I believe along that journey they do find someone special it just like everythings takes time and patience.

Re: Coming to terms with reality

@Bunniekins just all the typical stuff. I think I'm annoyed because I've been controlled bye an outside influence. Which is medication. And the system.

Re: Coming to terms with reality

@Sophia1 I was walking walking Mister awhile back and another dog was roaming and at large. This dog posed a threat to Mister and it scared me and from then on I've been turned off of walking that route. I nearly called the dog catcher.
