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

Yeah it is very individual when we have bad days but we do share one thing in common and that is we know it is nt a nice place to be @eudemonism. Everyone is indeed unique however sharing some of what is going on for us can sometimes help lessen that burden. I find when I can get the words out then it does become a little easier with the support here to get through it ...but we are all different and what works for one doesn't always work for others.

I'm pretty much always feeling very fragile, delicate, insecure, unstable and besides myself... no matter what I'm doing @Zoe7

That totally sucks Eude - I have seen you have some better days so you know it is possible - just seems very far away when most of your days you feel 'someone else' @eudemonism

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

Am realising that I've been having feelings of being trapped, for some time now...
Trapped by my circumstances... trapped by my mind... trapped by my physical condition... trapped by lots of things...
@Zoe7 does this sound right?

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

Yeah that makes sense @eudemonism You feel enclosed in this little bubble and as hard as you fight to get out f it there is nothing that seems to help - but all along knowing the bubble could burst at anytime and everything could pile on top of you all at once!

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

Yea kind of @Zoe7 -there is also a very real side of feeling trapped... even though I'm 'free to do as i please & have a free will ' I'm also very limited, confined and restrained... -do you think alot of this feeling is perception and attitude?

In response to: Re: Sharing the wisdom within

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

I think perception and attitude have a lot to do with the way we feel but both of those things are hard to change when we are stuck right in the middle feeling trapped @eudemonism - such a hard position to be in!

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

Something to consider maybe? @Zoe7 it's worth some meditation...
