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

Long story haha. But I basically completed my degree at the start of this year and have now been offered a place on a diplomacy skills and workshop event in Poland. I can't say too much because of anonymity but I can say that I am also going to try to work when I am there considering it goes for 6 months. It's requiring a good deal of reading and planning ahead in a short space of time but I think I am getting there ever so slightly.
I am 25 also

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

Yea right @MDT I would never even consider something like that for myself -because i don't think I could handle it that well on my own without lots of support. How do you think you'll handle it? Are you coming straight back to Australia afterwards? I couldn't do it because of financial reasons +contending with my illness.

Yea @Bunniekins I've let myself slip in the last few days. A few drinks is all it takes... it's happened dozens of times before, then I'm left dealing with the aftermath, I'm not even sure what causes it -however, battling this, is a very tiring ordeal... one day I'm good... the next I'm not... truly have had enough though! I must say!

@eudemonism Hi Eude I can't drink anything because I have my daughter here and she would be so disappointed if I did so .... that is the reason why I don't drink.

Hi @eudemonism I am having a rest day - woke up last night with a stomach ache and it has persisted on and off all morning. Missed going to the pool because of it.Have been sleeping on and off all morning when I can.

What are you up to?
