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"

I understand @Appleblossom I need to step up the exercise a bit more to continue to lose the weight I gained with the previous meds. (Donuts may not be helping there hey lol - but treated myself for getting some things done yesterday)

The pool has really helped with my fitness but there is still a long way to go.

Yea @Bunniekins i don't clique with lots of environments. I tried churches. I tried pubs. I tried family gatherings. I tried support groups & other groups. I tried education courses. I tried gyms. None of it was real easy and none of it really worked out. I double question everything i do these days. Even the work place is just to difficult.

@Appleblossom i don't think anyone in my life wants me to move... so even if i did want to, I've got a contend with everyone else and their thoughts .

@eudemonism yea it is hard finding the 'right' place I know what you mean. I just find that people overwhelm me after awhile that I need space between me and them. That is why I like animals better, I kind of get animals whereas people are just really hard going at times. It is like a performance unless you know them really welll (like family). I am seriously thinking of doing volunteer work to give back to the community. Someting nice to do to make me feel better about myself as well 🙂
