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 do you like to cook? I don't. My mh nurse wants to organize someone through the ndis to comein and help us prepare meals so that we can start eating better and hopefully feel better. Apparently it is doable. I will let you know if you are interested.

@eudemonism Oh Eude life definitely is not fair is it 😞 I would absolutely bring all of this up with the pdoc when you see him. Could the dose be brought down a bit or another medication tried? You shouldn't be going through these side effects in this day and age I thought that was a thing of the past.

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

I have not yet had enough of those meds to casue it in me, but saw it first when was 11 visiting psych ward. Then as adult learned about it. Then have an uncle whose TD is extreme after 35 years oif BiPolar meds ...seen son with it briefly, and was not too impressed when doctors smilingly said oh we can give a med which gets rid of it, but I have seen enough long term, to be very wary.

My husband was scared of it and very determined to come off Stel$%&.

Yea @Bunniekins I'm annoyed at dealing with this akathisia and I've only just realised what's going on. So enough is enough.

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

I have that problem quiet a bit.... dont know whether to call it mania .. or energy .. or annoying .... it all depends ...

I am going to try some QiGong in a minute to help with that.

Sorry if I get too upset about the TD.

I also try calming music, like Crystal Silence

but often it is simply not enough to calm me down.

Take Care

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

@Appleblossom apparently iron will help with it. There are a few medications which they say fix it. But some they don't like prescribing because they are psycho active.
