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 I am sorry you are going through that Eude. I don't use the depot so I don't get those symptoms. What can you do to help calm yourself?

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

'No one will understand what you're going through ' i think i want the treating team to understand what I'm going through. Because quite often, it's not that pleasurable and it's actually quite distressing! And because, i believe it's caused by the drugs they have prescribed me. And because i don't want them to just leave me to deal with it on my own. @Zoe7

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

I'm not sure what to say to you @Zoe7 I've got no idea how you are going to handle it OR what it's going to be like for you. -i am comparing it to what i would be thinking and feeling if i went back to work... and yea... -i don't think I'd do real good... i would need intensive, proper & ongoing support...
Do you think it will be like riding a bike?

Hello @Zoe7 how are you? I've been really paranoid

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

I honestly don't know what to expect @eudemonism From my experience thus far there is not much support being offered - more a case of I am ready for work or I;m not but we all know it isn't as easy as that when I have been away from work for so long. Tiredness is going to be my biggest enemy but that would be the case with whatever I do - you can't be off work for over 2 years and then expect to not be tired to begin with when thrown into a hectic classroom based position. All I can do is wait to find out what the next step is and take it from there.

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

Hi @Bill16 sorry to hear you have been really paranoid - that must be really hard to deal with. I am okay - bit anxious as I am still waiting to hear about work but nothing I can do about it but wait. It is frustrating but it is what it is!
