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

Thanks @Sophia1

I hope to hear soon too - would be nice to know something before my pdoc appointment on Wednesday. I might even try to ring tomorrow - haven't had much luck with phone calls but emails are always answered.

I hear you about getting back to work and the first few weeks not being easy - I expect that too thst is why we need to increase my hours gradually. It is difficult with all involved - I understand that but that is honestly not my issue to deal with - my GP has cleared me to get back to work and they need to accommodate that.

Just like you did - I feel like once I get there it will get easier as the days/weeks progress ...there will be a lot to catch up on but I figure I will have the other days in the week and then the christmas school holidays to do all that more.

@Sophia1 I've been for a walk along the beech with mister and my friend. Pawned my fishing rod to buy smokes. Bit disheartened about finances. Buy fishing rod at probably 50% mark up. Pawn fishing rod at a third of what i paid. So the pawn shop can essentially triple their money.

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

@eudemonism shame about your fishing rod. Did you use it at all or was it just sitting there? Good jobs are so hard to find. Wait till you are my age it is even harder 😮

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

@Bunniekins nah i hardly ever used it. It's just the moral of the story that gets me.
