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

IRL??? @Zoe7 yea I'll be putting that into practise. It's spot on with how it works. Being assertive, speaking your mind and putting yourself first. I also hear you with the empathy thing, that's a horribly bad situation, but i figure I've done it to others, at times.

IRL - in real life @eudemonism sorry about that - just presumed you would know what it meant - my mistake

I didn't get any ice-cream but happy to share the chocolate covered donuts that I bought - they were on special and begging for me to eat them lol

Chocolate donuts @Zoe7 that's a bit naughty... I'm preparing to go non nights... so I'll pass... did you get some good stuff?

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

It is a bit naughty isn't it lol @eudemonism

I bought lots of veggies, a little meat and some other odds and ends. I still need a few more things that I will get tomorrow or Sunday - not essential just yet so can wait.

Yea thats cool @Zoe7 my diet isn't the best. People have a dig at me about body weight, diet and exercise sometimes. They blame it all on me. But %100 it's the medication that does it. They've sacrificed my physical health so they can control my mind. It's not good.

Yea i hear you @Bunniekins when we're young and hormones are high. I suppose it's only natural we desire a partner. An aspect for myself, was the care, support, help and trying to attain normality.

In response to: Re: Sharing the wisdom within

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

@eudemonism Yes it is hard Eude. Yes I wanted some form of normality as my parents marriage was awful to say the least. All went well until 19 years roughly into our marriage when our son2 got really sick and then all hell broke loose and then I got sick and then there was no more normality and everthing fell apart like shattered glass, So much for marriage.

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

Yea @Bunniekins that must of been awful to deal with. All my relationships have been short, sharp and shiney. Immediately i could feel the pressure of society upon me as a man. Plus the pressure upon me from the woman. I couldn't handle it. So i bailed. Where is your son now? How is he going?
