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"

@Bunniekinsi love my music as well. But it was getting to my head. I would start writing as i was listening and it became a delusion. I thought i was writing great music... I've found music makes me manic basically-so i stopped listening to it +I've found it goes hand in hand with psycho active drugs...

And with lotto. It's more or less gambling. Alot of people loose so a few can win... gotta be realistic.

Yea i get it sometimes as well @TAB it's a hard feeling to explain/describe. I blame that feeling on medication... and get annoyed at 'them ' -but truth be told-It's a combination of factors.

If you get seeds from other plants from around the place you can scatter them in the garden and maybe some will grow.

@eudemonism Hmmmm .... funny there is a link between music and mania for you Eude. I was just thinking the same thing for me. Listening to my favourite music is such a high like I am spinning. I wont give it us though I love it too much and I don't get into 'trouble' as long as I take my meds .....

True re gambling my mother always told me never marry a gambler as you wont know if you have a house when you wake up the next morning.

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

There are a few plants that I could gather the seeds from and scatter throughout the garden @eudemonism Might add that to my jobs list for this week.
