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"

Hello @Bunniekins@eudemonism@Bill16@Zoe7@Former-Member

I read back to the beginning of yesterday's posts to respond to you all...

Now I find that I am only remembering bits and pieces...

so please forgive me in advance if I get anything wrong..

@Bunniekins oops nearly clicked on greenpasta in the drop down box....I like that user name too.

I read that you do not like humidity...ditto here..

You have a busy week ahead with medical appointments...feeling anxious about that in the week to come I understand..

I feel that way myself...

I am anxious today because I have an appointment with my therapist and have not had one for over a week...

anxiety is strong at moment though as am reducing sleeping tablet dose with intention of stopping eventually...see what happens ....if not sleeping try something else ....

I think that I have been feeling agitation and anxiety from side effects of sleeping tablet now..

@eudemonism Whilst I do not have any inkling of how the symptoms from depot injection would feel like..I understand you not liking side effects from medication....

As @Bunniekins mentioned you are intelligent....you do come up with some brilliant statements as well that make great debates...as for Mr Doom and Gloom....

yes sometimes you write about exactly how you are feeling ....these forums are about expressing yourself and supporting others...you do exactly that Eude

@Bill16 sorry to read that you feel paranoid at times...that must be very frightening...I hope that you get something out of the friendships on this thread as well...

your car fuel pump not working is a pain ....how frustrating lending the car to your sister only to hear that it has broken down far away from where you live....yes towing is expensive...

have you found another solution yet?

@Zoe7

waiting for confirmation of returning to work would have you on tenderhooks ....

hopefully you hear something today...

I know that you have worked hard to get to this point...

@Former-Member

waving hello from over here on this thread...I know that you have much on your plate to deal with...hoping that things continue to work out for you....might see you on life is a pain as some stage...

speak again all

Thanks @Sophia1 Hoping to hear something today - if I don't by tomorrow then I will ring HR again. This is really getting drawn out too long and the waiting is frustrating.

I hope your appointment goes well @Sophia1

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

@Sophia1 Good morning Sophia1 🙂 wishing you luck with your therapist today. My mother suffers from insomnia and often takes sleeping pills but like you has been cutting them down literally because they are not good for the long term as we all know. I hope the thereapist can give you some relief as not sleeping well is a torture and we all want Sophia1 to be well xxx
