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"

Have I told you two before that Toby has his own life jacket - so he will be safe around the water too lol He can swim but prefers not to - would rather play in the water and then cover himself in sand lol

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

I didn't mind that movie but I wouldn't want to see it everyday @TAB lol

I want to see Bohemian Rhasody - it is supposed to be a really good movie ...but knowing me I will probably not go - being in a dark room with people all around is not my idea of fun.

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

I never saw it @Zoe7 and yes I rarely go to cinema went couple times with a friend over last decade maybe I just subscribed to local cinema emails to see whats on. nothing enticing yet, was an idea. I dont really go out.

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

I'm the same @TAB would rather stay home with my fur babies - that gives me the most joy. I haven't always been a homebody though - I used to go out -- maybe it is more to do with age as well - I don't like noise and feel anxious amongst a lot of people.
