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"

Yea @Bunniekins I'm trying to get to the source of why I'm not feeling well. And I'm trying to deal with it. Technically, I'm suffering...

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

sorry @eudemonism

My head is quite foggy at the moment ...am weaning myself off of sleeping tablets..

I thought that I checked out all posts where I was tagged yesterday..

I have only just read your previous post..

how are you feeling today?

do you think that having beer not long after your depot injection might have caused you to feel unwell?

You yourself know how you are with symptoms from injection..

I do hope that you are feeling better today than yesterday..

Drink lots of water as well in case you are dehydrated...alcohol dehydrates..

dehydration causes dizziness...lightheaded ...nausea..disorientation..

let me know how you are today..

Sophia

I'm feeling better @Sophia1 but when i know the bad feelings are always gonna come back. It ruins it.
Alcohol in general is no good.
Yea i think the highs and the lows of the depot are ruining my life. One day I'm good and the next I'm not. Have a good run. Then coming crashing back down.

How is everything going for you @Sophia1 ??? I've also noticed you have your good and bad spells... It's hard for myself to really know and understand what you're dealing with and going through... as pretty much solely focused on dealing with my issues and demons... one day i think it's all under control and everything is good and then the next-i am in a world of suffering, pain and torment... i really don't know what's real and what's not anymore...
My mind has conjured up just about every worst case scenario possible... And yep-that's right-i am the star/hero of the show... or in some cases the bad guy/villain...
Even a normal life... or a healthy life... or a well managed life... a successful or productive life... a life free from mental illness... It still alot of hard work, it's not easy.. it still takes alot of energy...

How is everyone going ???

I'm lingering between underlying illness and side effects...

I'm finding it hard to maintain positive actions... because I'm running out of steam... -as soon as i stop... the negative thinking creeps back in...

I've attended art group today... I've got some new shirts... I've picked up 3 hyssop plants from nursery... I've been and got some milk, coffee and smokes... I've rang mental health nurse... I've parked by the sea in my car with dog and just thought for awhile...

I've also talked about ndis stuff with person who is helping me with process... going to jot down some goals and get a start on ndis plan...

Am having some persecution based thoughts about ' people ' authorities out to get me... for the way I've behaved in the past/ things I've thought, said or written... because itain't all been good... there's also been alot ofbad stuff in amongst it. Alot!

What has everyone else been doing???

I'm going to do some meditation tonight. Based around honesty, acceptance, forgiveness, humility, trust, and honour...

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

Sounds like you are having an up and down day @eudemonism You have done some things for yourself which is great but those negative thoughts are hard to deal with.

I am having a rest day - very flat and no energy - have slept most of the day.
