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

I suppose I am lucky that my family is relatively close @TAB My sister only lives 5 minutes away and my parents half an hour. I do see my sister every couple of weeks - she usually comes around with her dog and he likes to play in the back yard. They don't have a fully fenced yard so he can't be left on his own like he can at my place. He doesn't play with Toby but Toby gets extra aunty cuddles so that keeps him happy.

Toby is having puppy dreams right now - he is super cute when he makes little sounds in his sleep lol

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

Yea @Zoe7 I'm feeling a bit ordinary this morning... i had a small seedling pop up in the back yard this spring. And i couldn't tell if it was a baby rose plant or a baby apricot plant. It's gone now, but I'm thinking it was actually an apricot seedling which is what i wanted... yesterday i noticed another one has popped up, along with a couple more peach or nectarine seedlings, so I'm going to get some fertilizer for them, and protect them from the dog... and hope for th best because i really would like a few fruit trees.
