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 @Zoe7 I'm feeling very stagnant to be honest with you. Feeling very hopeless.
I think i just gotta pick something and get on with it...

Sometimes that is all we can do Eude - get ourselves moving and do something. It doesn't make all those feelings go away but it does help to disperse them a bit. Have you thought about dinner yet @eudemonism - maybe getting that organised could break the monotony a little.

Hi @Zoe7 @eudemonism

I am feeling slow, a bit hesitant, needing to curl up.

Yeah Pets costs a lot of time and money. For some it is important and worth it. I also like giving to animals in a way that is not about ownership .... like at the zoo ... cos I am anti ... too much reliance on private property ... and possession.

Anyway. I muddle on.

Cheers Apple

Hi @eudemonism .... 🖐

We're doing okay over here at the moment.

I haven't been contributing here much, but I am in the background and listening along when I can. Thanks for including me .... I appreciate it.

I can't answer in terms of a second dog. We had to give away our family pet when we moved over east, but there are many others here with canine furbabies who are advising you ....

I dont mean anyone in particular @eudemonism just the way my mind works.

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

@Appleblossom yea I'm ok and doing alright. But i mean, there is definitely some reoccurring issues I'm dealing with. Issues I've got with the system, religion, family, friends, community and society in general. It's just not good enough as far as I'm concerned...

Good morning all...

How are you today?

I've got pdoc appointment on Wednesday... so I'm unsure about what to expect... I'm part relieved and part wound up... I'm afraid nothing will get done and nothing will be changed... I'm unsure about how i should present myself and my case to him... + early next year I'll be going through counselling again... + have ndis support package underway... -i am really hoping for as much support as i can get... and to elevate my consistent and regular bouts of... stress, anxiety and depression...

Any thoughts about how i could best approach the upcoming events?
