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"

Thanks @eudemonism I have woken up actually looking forward to it - very nervous but hoping that will go when I get there and begin. I am mostly organised but need to photocopy some things once I get there but that won't take long. Then I will be ready to go - fingers crossed here that the day goes ok.

Do you have any plans for today?

I've been experiencing paranoid thoughts on a regular basis for years now. Stuff like. Thinking people are out to get me.

@eudemonism Ditto my friend. Ditto. That's why I behave myself as not to give 'them' a chance to get me.

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

Gradually coming to terms with the reality that many are.... out to get whatever they can ... or predatory for many reasons ... but have noticed that not ALL people are that way. That helps me battle the thoughts.
