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"

@Sophia1 am feeling really tired... mum, dad and my young nephew popped around, they brought lunch from the shop... knowing they were coming around motivated me to do some dishes and washing... I'm feeling really exhausted and fatigued now.

@eudemonism well my pdoc told me straight up this morning that if I didn't take my correct dosage of medications she wouldn't be able to look after my case. She said I need this medication and would be handed over the the public system and would be seen once a week. Eek! no way I like my pdoc. She wants me to up my exercise look after my diet better. Looks like I will have to start running again 😛

How are you going this morning? Here's hoping you are feeling a lilttle bit better than yesterday. Love greenpea

Hearing you @eudemonism I am the same with my family and with most people - I try not to do social situations ...the noise often really gets to me as well as the people.

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

Yea I'm not sure what it is @Zoe7 but i go to someone's place and visit with good intentions/ out of necessity or welcome visitors in with good intentions/ out of necessity and then i get to a point where i feel drained and overwhelmed-snap...

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

@Bunniekins are you with private health care? Do you get more then one appointment with your pdoc every week?
Why was the correct dosage brought up as an issue???
I'm as i usually am... I'm the same person I've always been and always will be... the fact of the matter is... all my mental health issues have been caused by external factors which were out of my control...
