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

@Zoe7 have had a super uneventful day at home with kidults. The weather here is grey but cool (no humidity thanks god) which I like. Have a busy week ahead so it will be good just to chill today as I always get super stressed when there is alot of things on. Argh pdoc appointments for me and son2 and gp appointments for me and daughter. I just have to keep my cool and not let it all get on top of me.

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

Sounds like a good plan in theory but not always easy in practice @Bunniekins I hope you can keep your cool and keep youor stress levels down to get through all the appointments ok I have my usual DBT and pdoc on Wednesday but also my GP appointment. I am hoping to find out more about returning to work tomorrow - I did hope for some news on last Friday but no call The longer this takes the harder it will be to get to the place we want to by the end of this term.

@Zoe7 How are you feeling about it all Zoe7? You must have overwhelming emotions about returning. Personally I think you are fantastic taking all of this head on and going for it. Shows how gutsy you are.

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

Thanks @Bunniekins - trying to take each day as it comes until it is all sorted out with HR and the Principal. It is causing me some stress at the moment as the plan was to gradually increase my hours to full time by the end of the year and the longer it takes to get back to work the more unlikely that can happen in the timeframe. I won't really know how it is going to pan out until I am actually back there.

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

@Zoe7 fingers crossed it all works out for you asap. All you can do is to 'suck and see' as they say.

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

@Bunniekins I'm feeling very hyped up, wired and stressed out right now. I think it's because the medication is starting to be released. I'm feeling very hyper. It's not a good feeling. I swear it's caused by the depot. Hating it really...
