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"

Hey @eudemonism Glad you have been getting things done today. Payday while on income protection has been a bit the same for me ...holding on to the day, getting everything paid at once and then budgetting for the month.

Yea @Zoe7 I'm understanding the concept of living week to week these days. And on the other hand. I'm trying my best to have some comforts and luxuries. I'm not poor poor. But I'm not rich either.

I need to be very careful with what I do have moneywise at the moment Eude - so much depends on me returning to work and when that will be. The longer it is the harder it will be moneywise but I have budgetted for that for the next couple of months. So no more plants for me now until I begin working again @eudemonism

Same here @TAB in the end i couldn't deal with the stress on my mind and workload on my body. Every day i was going to work, was spent tinkering on the edge of a severe breakdown.

@Sophia1

I can feel my horrible illness just lingering below the surface. It's like battling with a horrible and nasty demon. Who is intent to destroy my peace of mind and sanity. When a battle between myself and this demon begins, it's very easy to begin making decisions which create an ideal battlefield between myself and this demon. Because it's what the demon wants.

@Zoe7 sometimes i feel there is no other way apart from, spending, spending and more spending.

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

You can fight against this demon - you are strong @eudemonism

Get what you need first and see what you have left over Eude - you don't want to get to another stage where you don't have any money again - that is when the demon realy begins to take over and the negative thoughts begin.
