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"

It's feeling like a very slippery slope... And I am indeed feeling backed into a corner with all the world of help around me...

Firsts things first I suppose... Make bed, have shower, do a quick clean and tidy and then go for a drive...

No matter how hard I try... I always seem to be overwhelmed with negative aspects of my life.... And I seem unable to change my thinking...

Hello @eudemonism

You are still in early days of injection...the people who are making you feel backed into a corner perhaps need to be gently told that you need some space..no one ..even animals do not like to be backed into a corner..

you are doing well..break it down into small details...morning what achieved ..even if it is got out of bed....you are making changes just not yet noticing them...

that will come..I am drained tonight..so quick response to others then ..early night..hopefully some peaceful sleep..I wish the same for you

speak soon

take care 💚🐾

I think that life is a gruelling battle... For very valid reasons... The majority of my anguish is caused bye the social aspects of life...

You could sum it up with rights and responsibilities...

We live in a very desperate world... I believe everyone is two faced and will commit to backstabbing and backbiting if they feel insecure enough too do so... And in my honest opinion it's just a matter of time before the Insecurities we all have... Boil to the surface... Because we've been wrong done bye under our own interpretation of right and wrong... (For ourselves and pushed onto others through influence...) And it all takes place... Nobody wants to admit too it... And everybody does it... Because they are trying to become their higher self... At the expense of exposing the lower being of another... It's day to day sociology... The mhs is riddled with it... Religion is riddled with it... It's everywhere...

hello @eudemonism

How are you feeling now?

You sounded as though there were some difficult...negative...judgmental thoughts happening in your mind before...

do you think that was part of your old patterned thinking....your knee jerk reaction when feeling isolated or anxious?

You are not alone....I am here now...there are also others on the forums...there is the worry room where you can post if you just want to vent and nobody seems to be around....

Are you managing to keep warm in your place? It is very cold now isn't it....Winter solstice nearly here as you mentioned at the beginning of winter I think...Do mister or puss snuggle up close to you when it is cold?'

Pretty good. Just settling down for the evening. The new medication has given me a sweet tooth. Especially at night. I think I'm better off taking tablet on an empty stomach and then snacking.

Yea it's real stuff...

Re: Coming to terms with reality

good morning @eudemonism

Hope that you had some restful sleep last night....I had a block of sleep eventually...possibly about 5 hours which is far better than none...

I am having another quiet day at home today....I have one of those mindfulness colouring books of mantras and designs...this one also has codes and objects to find...reminds me of "Where's Wally" books...my sons loved those...

you might be too young to remember although I think that you are only two years younger than my younger son...

do you like drawing or sketching? I hope to start going to a casual group who meet at the local community centre as soon as I am fitter...

keep warm

big hug

Hi @eudemonism

I think there is something to what you say ... we all bleed when cut ..

and when backed into a corner ... biological threat responses will emerge.

I dont believe it is the total story tho ...

Just passing through saying

HELLO

Hope u dont mind.

cheers
