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"

@Bunniekins I'm thinking about not attending the appointment because i don't wanna waste my valuable time. I'm not falling for the illusive false hope of the professional and the system again.

@eudemonism You know you should go Eude. It is a step on the road to feeling a hell of alot better than you do now. I can only imagine how hard it is for your to do this but I really think you should.

I'm not going to the appointment @Sophia1 if you've heard one professional opinon. You've heard them all. My time is to precious to be worried about financially motivated opinons.

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

I know @eudemonism that some on here would disagree with me...

Yes there are useless people in the medical profession...in the mental health system...

there are also some good ones still ..

They work extra hard...they stay in the system because they actually still work under the very ethics that they studied..

to give those who require it... a chance...

This appointment might be the one chance waiting for you...

If it is not you have at least given it a shot....You can be proud of you..

It it is worthwhile...You can still be proud and get the help that you have said so many times you want...to have an opportunity to be reassessed re your depot injection...

I am not trying to push you...so will leave it there...

still here for you whatever you decided...

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

Nah @Sophia1 I'm just going to recover from the anticlimax of being offered false hope as best i can. - by making sure i get enough coffee and cigarettes so i can deal with the new receptors my brain has made to counteract the dopamine blockers they've been giving me.

It was never going to work out well. It will never work out well between myself and the mental health system.
