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

It was little lamb medallions @eudemonism and it was yummy

It sounds like a lovely evening for you being outside, listening to music and enjoying the night air. It has been a lovely day here but getting a little chilly now. Both the dogs have just had a crazy 20 minutes or so and now they are both buggered - hopefully they will both go to sleep now. I am watching a show on ABC and then will probably go to bed myself - pretty tired tonight.

Any plans for tomorrow? I am going to try to do some more gardening and then a little more housework. I'll need to tidy up after my sister picks up her dog in the morning. There are toys everywhere lol

Um let me think @Zoe7 no plans just yet... i swept out the garage and foot path this arvo... my back muscles are a bit achy because of doing so, it don't take much to wear me out and get aching muscles, i don't think the meds help either.
I'll just be having a chilled out Sunday at this stage... what about you?

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

Good afternoon @Zoe7 how are you going this afternoon? I'm feeling very optimistic and am in good spirits...

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

That is some good news for this sunny Sunday afternoon @eudemonism

I have been gardening again this morning - finslly got all the potting mix spread around the garden. Later this afternoon I will plant my flowering seedlings and then give it all a good water. There is still one small patch that needs weeding in one section of the garden then I can concentrate on the areas by the side of the house. That will take me a bit longer to do as I need to move things to get to it all.

Just having a rest for now and will go back out soon.

What are you up to?

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

Enjoy your visit @eudemonism I do like a thunder storm as long as it isn't windy as well.
