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"

@Zoe7 it's just another dose of the professionals and their opinons... it never gets any easier to deal with... I'm also feeling tired, fatigued and achy...

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

Well @Zoe7 yea i do... I'm going to have to forgive the professionals and the system all over again... for my own sanity and peace of mind... and I'm going to have to accept-that it's their sicknesses doing it to them...

It is important you find ways to deal with all this for your own peace of mind @eudemonism and in whatever form tat takes I am sure it will be right for you.

Did you end up catching up with friends last night?

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

Yea i did @Zoe7 but it was in the social setting of a pub dining room; and unfortunately I'm very easily made unsettled in such settings... so even if have the right intentions-sometimes it's just not worth the worry...
