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"

I never feel quite right aye...

It takes about 30-45 minutes and a few coffees and cigarettes for MYSELF to wake up properly...

Waking up throughout the night is really tough-i don't feel real good if I'm waking up throughout the night...

And then WHEN it comes to getting on with life throughout the day...-i usually only do the bare necessities....

@eudemonism Good morning Eude. Hoping you have a calm and relaxing day today. Maybe you can take you dog to the beach or do some gardening. Something soothing. I am off to see my psych today which I am looking forward to. Hopefully I will catch you later. Look after yourself. Love greenpea xx

Ok @Bunniekins let me know how it goes??? I'm in a predicament/dilemma between myself and the treating team at the moment. It's far to long between available pysch doc appointments for myself. I'm definitely in split minds about the whole situation. That's for sure...

I can relate @eudemonism. Be gentle with yourself. You're doing the best you can.

good morning @eudemonism@utopia@TAB@Bunniekins@MDT

The not sleeping well has a major impact on my symptoms and my pdoc keeps checking on this...

I can understand how it would affect how you feel in the morning and your energy levels during the day...

A drive to the beach....walk along the beach with Misty or Mister? or sitting on the bench at the top...

you could take a photograph of the beach and your dog with your mobile...something to look at when at home...

looking at photographs sometimes inspires and motivates us to go back again another time..

Lovely that you have the beach close by...Our closest beach is a 35 minute drive..

Hoping that you all feel the sun on your backs and have some moments that bring a smile to your face...

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

A drive and/or walk with Misty sounds like a great idea @eudemonism - will get you out of the house for a time at least. I have my meeting to get back to work this afternoon but depending how that goes might take Toby for a drive to the beach afterwards.
