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"

Hi all! Too tired to tag everyone. So I'll just write a generalized thread post for whoever wants to read it. I drank some wine last night and had a little bit of green to smoke. It always writes me off. And in all honesty I'd say it's more medical reasons then anything else. Too late to go back now!

I read through all the writing on this thread and my heart goes out too all of you. For whatever life is challenging with. But cant do a great deal else.

I was walking down the beech yesterday. And it started raining. The wind was blowing and the clouds were above. Andi got cold and wet and decided to turn back. And once I'd turned back. I decided to turn back again and follow through with the walk. And it turned out to be worth it. The clouds cleared and the sun came out in the end.

Its a nice spring day here is South Australia.

Re: Coming to terms with reality

Yea it was pretty much like that.

Hey, does anyone know why i would constantly be feeling like I'm craving something? Or what it might be that I'm craving? And what too do about it?

Re: Coming to terms with reality

Sorry @eudemonism. I can't say anything about your drinking, or smoking green or drugs cuz its forbidden in my religion..its against my faith. If theres a will and a way for me to make u stop...i would. But in that matter i can only pray for the humanrace as a whole... regardless of faith and being...hoping we will all be guided and blessed till our last breaths.

I thought it could be achieving goals @Adek

Re: Coming to terms with reality

Its part of it but there are depths to it...physically, mentally, spiritually, emotionally, intellectually, socially...a holistic goal that makes us whole.

rewarding for you that you pushed on ....spontaneity like that ...the experience just gets better

@Adek @eudemonism

cravings......shoving things in our mouths ......pushing down painful memories...feelings can go back to when we were babies nursed and fed by our mothers when we cried

if you are a smoker you most likely have a cigarette when feeling anxious again putting something in your mouth....

I ate far too much chocolate last night not because I craved it because it was there...I haven't been feeling too well for a while now and I basically was shoving food in my mouth pushing down unwanted feelings

all of this is a possibility....different of course for each and everyone of us
