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"

@eudemonism Oh Eude just take good care of yourself first. You cannot look after others unless you are looking after yourself. xx

I totally agree with @Bunniekins Eude - you have to take care of yourself first. That is not being selfish either @eudemonism - it is about having the strength and energy to help out others when we are able to but that often means putting ourselves first to also be able to do that and finding the balance between what is right for us and what we can actually deal with. Sometimes that is a hard balance to reach but without feeling 'balanced' yourself you cannot give others your full attention either.

I'm doing everything i can for myself... apart of the problem is being tired and exhausted of reaching out to people... and then having to deal with their sickness and problems... and besides that, all it's really doing is feeding their lives and their egos...

Sorry I've been very self centred recently. Been a little childish as well. A little inconsiderate. Going to get an early night and do some thinking.

I hope you all sleep well...

Night. Night.
