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"

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

@Sophia1 It's all good...

Yea I've found that socialising is crucial to my wellbeing. Like It is for everyone I suppose. However it does come with problems and issues. I've read some biblical and philosophical stuff about relationships. It was rather insightful.

I'm feeling super annoyed about the big picture and end results of side effects I'm living with.

Anyway all for now.
I hope you have a great day.
Eude.

@Sophia1 I been busy. I've stopped for an afternoon slumber. I'm hoping the washing on the line has had a chance to dry as I'm in need of clean clothes. Yea I hope the inspection works out and you sell soon. I'm happy for you about having a new place to go to. A new garden to build. I'm thinking about another tree in the back yard. I've got an obsession with myrtle trees. Eude.

hello @eudemonism

nice to catch you whilst you are writing...

washing if nearly dry ...bring it in and hang near heater...

needing something clean to wear would force your hand to get some washing done laugh...

I know that you love trees...myrtle trees are quite large..

crepe myrtles are very pretty...I have three planted in our garden...

Hi @Sophia1

I'll look up crepe myrtle tree. I find them fascinating. I like the way they weep.

Plus, i'm finding each day to be a struggle. Life is rather intensive when it comes down to the crunch. I think I'm lacking something in my social life and diet. And it's having a huge impact on my state of mind. Finances are a factor... A healthy diet is expensive to maintain... Social contact and relationships are crucial (but never straight forward) I basically gotta put myself first and others second...

@Sophia1 Hi

How are you going today?

I've noticed that you've been very selective about what you've shared with me. I suppose I'm realising that there is much more too you as a person and your life...?

Today I kind of wondered what the point is... I'm battling with these mental problems, I'm battling with medication side effects, I'm battling with addictions... Among many other battles... And sometimes I seriously wonder what the point is... And what it's all about... Do you know what I'm talking about?
