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"

@TABi suppose it will be happening with whomever is in my life. It is just the way the universe flows i suppose. I'd be lost without my associates. But unfortunately the closer they are to me the more they get on my nerves.

@Bunniekins that's good I'm really happy to hear this... i find having an open book on the desk helps with achieving stuff (no matter what it is!..) writing a list of achievable stuff down can sometimes be the first step...

Hey @eudemonism that associate sounds very frustrating. It’s hard to make changes when those around you are heading in the opposite direction. I’m hoping you can focus on what you need and find some people who align with your goals. It’s not easy.

@Shaz51 yea everything is work in progress... can't rely on anyone else to do what i need to... or to achieve my goals... And yes it's the small and seemingly insignificant things that get me through...

@utopia well I'd jot a note to yourself down somewhere... that says eat healthy and exercise... a small walk? 3 minutes of star jumps? Ring the gym may be? If you're keen... it has to start somewhere...

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

@eudemonism that is a very good idea. I might do just that :). I do have a writing book which I use for sayings that I used to writing on my arms. Here is one of the sayings:

Let them judge you

Let them misunderstand you

Let them gossip about you.

Their opinions are not your problems

You stay kind, committed to love

and free in your authenticity.

No matter what they do or say

dont doubt your worth or your beauty of your truth

Just keep shining like you do. 🙂

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

Yea @Bunniekins i find it helps heaps. Even if it involves others it will motivate you to get it done. That's what I've found.
