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

Not to bad thanks @Bunniekins I'm thinking about this air conditioning plan of mine... + I've woken up and remembered times when i was unwell... -it's a horrifying experience... i am sometimes haunted by my history of unwell thoughts, words and behaviours... -i reflect upon it sometimes; from my now medicated mind... -and I'm rather shocked and horrified to think about what others would of thought or think about it today... thinking I've upset, hurt or offended someone is what really gets to me... because in all honesty, I've got no explanation or excuse apart from being unwell...

@eudemonism So true Eude where is the real me compared to me and the illness? Wel lthe real me wouldn't go walking out at 3am in that area looking for trouble that is for sure :P. Saying that the zombie side has taken over somewhat but the pdoc wont change the meds as she says it is for my own good..... You know we cannot win this Eude.

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

@eudemonism Oh Eude you cannot worry about the past when you were so unwell. It was the illness not you talking and doing these things. I have similar thoughts (although I am seeing a psychologist who is really helping me cope with my guilt). Have you got a psychologist who you can talk to about these feelings of remorse?

Feeling a bit better today @eudemonism Las night was a better night - only woke up once and managed to get back to sleep pretty quickly. Nothing planned today - it is raining here so an inside day. Possible painting and maybe sort out another box in my spare room but that depends on moving a few things first. There is always housework to do so that is likely on the agenda too. How about you - anything planned? What about you @Bunniekins - anything planned for you also?
