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

@utopia& @TAB i think it's anxiety... I'm goin2 ask the doctor how i best deal with anxiety at my next appointment. I've found that it comes and goes in phases. It's like my mind, body or spirit needs something.

On The other hand. If it wasn't for coffee and cigarettes i probably wouldn't get out of bed in the mornings *until I'd withdrawn and recovered. But even when i did stop cigarettes. I found there is still an uneasy angst I'm having to deal with. *I'm not sure what it's caused by... i suppose you could say it's either depression or anxiety... the lows and the highs... and constantly trying to manage them...

But yea. I'm concluded that all my issues are based around anxiety. It's very cunning. It works hand in hand with fear. Very deceptive. So i need to find healthier ways to deal with anxiety.
