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"

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

We need all types in the world @TAB and being someone that likes to stay at home is ok. We all need our own space sometimes - and some more than others. I certainly prefer to be alone but that doesn't always mean that I am lonely.

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

I do enjoy the pool and the contact with the people there but it is a small group and very manageable for me @TAB I also have the regular contact with people from the DBT group. Limiting the time I spend with others is also good though.

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

yes agree re limiting time @Zoe7 I havent been to pool in forever, I dont mind it when I do go but its rare these days I used to go to library to print stuff off but have own printer again now, well that was pleasant enough interaction with people, I guess I have to have a reason to be in places and that becomes a reason not to go if that makes sense

Anyone still up?

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

I can always find a reason not to go to things @TAB - family stuff is hard to avoid though. I find it much easier if I can take Toby with me to places - that is one of the reasons I love the beach so much - it brings me joy watching him play in the sand.
