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 Hi Eude 🙂 I only have hospital cover it does however cover psychiatric. I get one appointment a month with pdoc. I brought up the meds as I want to bring them down just a bit to help with weight loss, doc said no way. Just have to live with it I suppose. Everyone says I am doing so much better now it is only me who is hating it.

Yea haha @Bunniekins i figure it's the same with myself. Everybody sees improvement, whereas i see, more problems. Sorry about my snappy comments before... but yea, i get frustrated really quickly...
I'm going through changes/difficult times... accepting some stuff, forgiving people, being honest-working out what to do for myself...
I don't think I'm doing everything i could be, when it comes to helping myself...

@Bunniekins i just don't understand the attitudes or personalities of some people??? One day it's all good between them and myself... and the next day... we're in relationship breakdown mode... and I'm thinking to myself-who's fault is this???

@eudemonism Since we have been talking over the past few months I can see huge changes. You are opening up more discussing your concerns re problems that have been worrying you. As for doing everything to help yourself what do they say take 'baby steps' don't rush things. That is what I am doing with my pdoc atm. She brought up some stuff today from my past which I am running from but agree with her that I have to deal with otherwise it is like a pain in my chest everytime I get a trigger for it.

You cannot run from the past sometimes you have to stop, take stock of the situation and deal with it to get over it. At least that is what I am thinking.

@eudemonism That is a tough question re people. I would say it is nobodys fault just sometimes people have disagreements which spiral out of control a bit but soon given time right themselves again. I wouldn't worry too much about it these problems generally fix themselves overtime.
