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 Good morning Eude 🙂 went for a walk down the road with daughter to do some shopping. Much cooler although a bit muggy. I still wish you went to see pdoc yesterday but is your choice and I respect that choice. Hoping you are feeling a bit better later today. Love greenpea xxx

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

hello @eudemonism

Where has the warm weather gone? We even had some rain

I had a domestic day yesterday....

Had a pool session today and an interesting chat with one of the regular ladies....she is an ex headmistress and has done lots of travelling in her life...

She is a very interesting person to talk to...

It rained whilst we were in the pool ...tin roof so was lovely to hear...

Tomorrow we are catching up with some of my husband's relatives who are visiting from overseas..They are staying with my husband's son and wife..It will be a long drive there and back...will be draining but enjoyable...

Do you have any plans for tomorrow?

Sophia
