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"

Thanks @Bunniekins I've been out a couple times today... went to foreshore and sat for awhile, went and asked for excess money out of my housing acc. + went and priced some ceiling fans + got quote for aircon and install + rang superannuation mob about withdrawing some of my superannuation money-to pay bills off & and get a few extras for around the house.

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

Yea @Bunniekins I'm still undecided. The initial outlay. The additional electricity costs. Maybe better off with second hand portable air con. Or not even worrying about it... it's those 4-5 day heat waves that are hard to deal with.
How have you been today Any way?
My old school yard injury has flared up today. It's either gout or arthritis in the elbow. Not pleasant. Very uncomfortable. Either caused by to much meat at lunch or I've bumped it/moved it the wrong way.

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

That's alright at @Sophia1 i hope everything is working out well for yourself. Meaning coping with life well...
I know I've got my challenges cut out for myself...

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

@eudemonism You normally get gout in your toes could be arthritis caused by earlier injury as you are only young. Yes I hadn't thought of the cost of running the air conditioner .... at our other house it had air conditioning but we never ran it because of the cost and we had ceiling fans instead. Hmmmm .... you could get an portable air cooler. We had one in Canberra where we used to live years ago but it was super noisy .... I don't know what to suggest as those really hot days (particularly in SA) I know are unbearable.

I have had a really nice day today went out with daughter in the air conditioned car into the air conditioned shops and then back into my really hot house :o. So I had a cat nap this afternoon trying to keep cool.
