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"

hello @eudemonism

Thank you for writing..

It is disturbing to read that you have those thoughts though...

I am sure that the moderator has given you some telephone numbers to ring where you can talk at your own pace and only about what you wish to say...

you can let them know though that you have such thoughts...

Those are very painful thoughts to have...

will you reach out for some help and ring a helpline and speak to someone

@Sophia1@Former-Member@Former-Member@TAB@Appleblossom

It's financial issues (taxes), social issues (lack of real life support) mental problems & medication issues, dealing with the system, dealing with people, dealing with the ways of the world, dealing with reality.

I could get a script for oral sedative and take that everyday, but it don't solve the problems, it just turns me into a zombie. But it is a short term fix.

Hi @eudemonism,

I can hear how hard things are for you right now and how hopeless you are feeling. We have sent you some emails so it would be great if you could have a look at those if you feel able.

The most important thing right now is that you have some support. I can hear from your posts that this may not be what you are wanting right now, however I do encourage that you reach out and talk to someone about how you are feeling. It may just be the thing that you need at the moment. You can contact:

Lifeline: 13 11 14 or Crisis Chat

Suicide call back service: 1300 659 467 or online counselling

I truly hope you reach out for some support tonight, I can hear how much you are struggling.

Take care
