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"

The forum is a great support for many of us @eudemonism and it is great that it is for you too. I enjoy our conversations so that makes it easier to connect with you. You did so well today and should be happy with yourself for going and having a good time.

Yea I'm keen to do more of it... @Zoe7 just the fact of spending quality time with people is priceless, and being comfortable with who i am; what I'm thinking and feeling, and not using drugs or alcohol to cope through it... it was very good for my mind, body and soul... however, i think i need to do some work with reading body language, and proper body language on my behalf *I've always been analytical with this type of stuff...

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

I don't like being around people much and avoid it if at all possible - which may seem strange with my job. It is great that you enjoy socialising and get a lot out of it. Reading body language is like anything - it gets easier with practice. Sometimes going with you intial instinct on things is the best way to go @eudemonism
