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"

Nah @Faith-and-Hope I've accepted my position in society. No point struggling against the flow.

Resting sounds like a good idea @eudemonism You have had a shite morning and sometimes we need to stop and recharge our batteries after such a time. Are you going to have a nap? What is your dog up to? Toby is laying next to me but there are too many noises around for him to get really settled today.

I have been out to the beach with Toby @eudemonism Met my sister and someone she was having lunch with that I haven't seen for around 5 years. It was nice to catch up a little. Toby had a run on the beach but we didn't stay long as it was too cold and windy. Toby still enjoyed himself - now I have to clean all the sand up lol

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

I been thinking about how sick society makes me @Zoe7 it's inescapable...

I also put some of the weed and prunings pile in the bin...(it's dry and i could/should burn It, it's not fire ban, but i don't wanna smoke my neighbours out, because I'm living close to several other neighbours) it's been sitting out the back for 2 years now... it's my little escape out there, i potted up some clumping cane cuttings, because I would like a clump of two of cane down the side and in the corner. I'll give the rest away if the take.

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

There are elements of society that are indeed not nice @eudemonism but there are also good parts. The hard thing often is finding the balance between what annoys/disturbs us and the positive things we can get out of it. Dealing with a MI in this society we live in is certainly not easy but then there are places like this forum that neither of us would have found if we didn't have a MI - so there are both positive and negative aspects to our lives in that respect. Often though there are more negatives that we can see in our lives and that is when we begin to feel down and not in control of our lives. It is a tough place to be.
