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"

Yea no worries @Zoe7 i think I'm going to get a few quotes and professional opinons from the air conditioning people and then go from there. The winters must be freezing down there? Because i know it gets cold here.

It is even colder where I work @eudemonism. It is wise getting a few quotes and comparing them.

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

@eudemonismGood morning Eude :). Personally I wouldn't get another dog. How many animals have you got? a dog, a cat, a snake. I would be looking after yourself and the animals that you have. How would cat feel about having another dog. Indeed how would your dog feel about it.

All is well here thanks. Family is doing well just sweltering in the heat.

Hi @eudemonism and @Bunniekins Hope you are both having a good morning so far

I would be thinking of the financial outlay for a new dog and whether you could afford it as well as the other animals you have already Eude. The decision is up to you but if you are struggling with finances already then another dog would significantly add to that.

I am doing ok this morning - not extremely motivated but not as flat as I have been.

Hope you both have a good day.

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

Hi @Bunniekins & @Zoe7 @yea I'm hearing you both...it came from something a friend said the other day... talking about puppies advertised to give away... got a bizarre idea in my head that it would be good and work out well... I've asked around for advice before acting..

if i had a partner, a bigger place and more finances-i would seriously consider it. -but now I'm well informed with advice, I'll hold off... thanks for advice...

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

I'm still surprised that Cat tolerates Toby so well @eudemonism but I know she definitely wouldn't put up with another dog ...but then I am not sure Toby would either as it would take some of the attention away from him lol Puppies are cute but they grow up and cost a lot to look after - I know how much I have spent on Toby over the years - especially in the first 6 months where he had both eyes operated on and ear issues. Thankfully that was all resolved and I have had no more real issues with him ...apart from the occasional infection, bee bite or grass seed in his paw.
