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"

@Bunniekins I'm feeling a little burned out from all the smoking and the early morning (a storm woke me up at 5am) + the madness of payday...
And yes, I've caught up with my friend and been for a drive today...
In one hand and out the other basically...

@eudemonism once you give up the ciggies you won't klnow yourself. It took me several goes but when the time was right I just gave them up. I hope the same happens for you.

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

Yea @TAB i started thinking the same would happen to me, so i steered clear of the expensive courses... got a few tickets I'll probably never use out of ot though... it's the way of the world-if your not qualified OR got tickets, nobody wants to employ you.

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

Thanks for the vote of confidence @Bunniekins
I'm really noticing what they're doing to my mind and body, it's integrated into a psychological twist I'm going through, something to do with flight and fight response and boredom and stress response. -i haven't quite learned how to live properly without them yet...
