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

@Former-Memberthe facts about schizophrenia are very condemning and really don't leave any room for a full recovery... would you agree??? The treatment is totally reliant on medication... *but the facts don't cover the negative aspects of years of taking medication... Plus i've got some scientific facts of my own, about one in a hundred ordinary people-that i would like to put forward...

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

It could 0f been better @Zoe7 chatted with a friend over the phone, i had coffee with support worker, went to dentists (they had cancellation and got me in early) went and seen a friend-had scotch with him and then came home-had rest and pondered the afternoon away...

I'm really disappointed that I'm not getting more done each day-it's a case of doing the bare basics-and only just managing-very frustrating i must say...

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

You did more than I did today @eudemonism - it was even an effort to get dinner ready tonight I am pleased I got a little more painting done but would loved to have got some gardening in as well. Been quite flat myself all day - thought this afternoon that I was coming out of that a bit but that didn't happen. I am going to try for an early night tonight but really want to get the kitchen cleaned before that. Very little motivation to do anything today.

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

Yea @Zoe7 I've got loads of stuff i could be doing-but just don't have any motivation or great concern about it. Then what I'm resorting to instead of getting stuff done-is the easy option, the bad option, the option that achieves nothing. It's very frustrating...

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

Hearing you Eude - feeling a bit the same at the moment. I know there are things that I need to do or should be doing but can't bring myself to do them. I tried setting small goals today but only really achieved one of them and that isn't enough. I am determined to get the kitchen tidied though and then do some grocery shopping tomorrow. Running out of most things and I need to eat. I only had salad and potatoes tonight but even those things I am now running out of @eudemonism I might do some meal planning tonight, shop for it all tomorrow and then do some cooking on Sunday.

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

@Zoe7what painting have you been doing? What's for dinner? Is the kitchen very dirty? I think feeling low is apart of life... It's definitely not good for any individual to experience... the main reason for myself feeling low-is not getting on with achieving stuff...

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

Been doing a painting for my sister @eudemonism and I really want to get it finished for her. It is coming along ok but there is still a lot I need to do. I am working in oils and that takes more care than using acrylics.

The itchen isn't really dirty more untidy - need to clean up from dinner and do the washing up.
