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"

Yea i been in strife when it comes to my health for a very long time. Beteeen my initial mental problems. Medication and side effects. Self medication. Problema in general. And old school yard accidents. In the same position as lots of others.

Anyway I'm 'trying ' to do something about it. I desire things to be different. Tough and difficult times ahead..

How is Saturday going for you three anyhow?i hope all is well.

Up and down @Shaz51 as we all are...

If things aren't going well for myself... it's because one of my needs aren't being met. Is it the same for you? Some people prey on it like a vulture over a dying carcass. And some realize what's going on.

@Appleblossom taking care of myself and my needs on a daily basis... is alot of hard work. Especially when i consider the 'hand of cards ' i been dealt in life. Perhaps ones striving for their needs is what mi is all about...?

I think why I'm so worked up at times. Is because of all the problems I've got. And thinking about the causes of these problems. And then trying to find the answer to these problems. And than I'm left to deal with a system that is in denial about my own ability to work out the causes and answers to my own problems. Problems meaning. Unemployment. Social issues. Emotional issues. Alcohol and substance abuse issues. Homelessness. Mental problems. Problems with diet and exercise. Sexual problems. Etcetera it leaves me very susceptible to the mhs... who quite frankly are just ordinary people who don't really know what's going on... now I'm that caught up in this system and their drugs. I feel there is very little hope of myself ever leading a normal life without stress 🤣

Everybody in the gyms wants to have the best body. But not everybody in the gym can have the best body.

It's a joke about life in general. Everybody is always wanting. Wanting wanting. And everybody is doing the same thing.

Lol hahaha

Each day is a battle to provide myself with what i need... i end up resenting people that much i just think to hell with it! What's the point in going around and providing people with what they need?
