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"

goodnight @TAB

I was thinking of you earlier when I read about your shopping ordeals..

I thought that what so many on here need is a community garden...

would be nice wouldn't it..

perhaps you can go to sleep dreaming about what you might plant and watching it thrive and grow into a beanstalk..

night night Tab

Cant remember re sleep and no ciggers @eudemonism well was 10yrs ago now. I do remember cutting down on caffeine alcohol and cigarettes albeit briefly. Unbelievable sleep. Almost as good as on when was on ads. Was just a log. Not like recent times

It's 11:22 PM

I logged back in as I am awake, I had a rest, my eye lid & across my eye is so swollen now it hard to see my eye. I sure do have one BIG infection in there, I look like I've been punched in my eye! 😞

Any way, it will be sorted out tomorrow by GP.

Good Night, Sophia x Outlander x Eude x GreenPea x & TAB x 🙂

Sweet Dreams!

I Love All Of You Very Much!

Bella 🙂

Hi @Former-Member and @TAB;

Looks like I'm late to the party! Bugga'...never mind, next time.

Hey Bella, try taking an off the shelf antihistamine to see if it eases symptoms. Something like a hay fever med. It won't hurt you, but if it affects symptoms positively, you might have more info for the doc. Just a suggestion...

Night all!

Hope

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

good morning @eudemonism@TAB@Former-Member@outlander@Hope4me

I hope that your eye is not infected @Former-Member...good that you are seeing a doctor today...let us know what the outcome is...

@TAB

Your work is hard physical labour which exacerbates your back...in turn your depression is nudged...reminding you that it is still in the background..

it becomes a parallel to the mouse on the wheel scenario...

@eudemonism@outlander@Former-Member

all of us here on this thread know the feeling of merrygoround let me off...

this does not diminish the intensity of each of our own experiences of pain...depression...

I find that it helps me to write about it though...

I also feel for those who are in pain also

sorry @Hope4me I am not sure if we have met or not...I do not know your story...I can say hello and include you in this supportive thread nevertheless...
