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"

Hi @eudemonism ..,,,

Uni is pretty full-on, but I need that as a distraction to a home situation I can’t fix. I am trally loving getting into my art and seeing what I can do. If I look at everything that has to be done, it can be a bit overwhelming ... but staying in the moment, class by class, helps to fix that.

Yea I'm hearing you @Faith-and-Hope the forums are abit like that when it comes to 'the life i wanna be living ' vs 'my home life as is ' i liked the social aspect of doing courses plus the challenges. However in the end my unchangeable / unfixable social problems became to much. Do you follow on with arts when you're home???

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

I presume they wouldn't help you with getting something to deal with the stress @eudemonism That sucks but now we need to find ways for youo to do this on your own - not an easy thing to do I know Eude - you must be feeling quite disillusioned right now
