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"

It is not nice that you are experiencing those feelings Eude - it totally sucks!

All you can do @eudemonism is keep putting one foot in front of the other and do the things you enjoy. I know that is easier said than done Eude but it does make a difference to our day when we find those few moments of joy.

Hello @eudemonism

Those were interesting articles that you posted earlier on here...

There were some good suggestions re managing anxiety levels...

Some of the tools will be helpful to have on hand...

My anxiety seems to become prominent late afternoon...

I think that I might write down a few of the suggested tools and keep them in a place where I can quickly refer to them when my anxiety kicks in...

I also watched SBS insight on anxiety the other night...

I didn't really learn anything new...

It was an eye opener hearing stories of those who can live their lives with anxiety...

One common factor was that one strategy does not work for all...varies from person to person ...this is something that I have always believed...

Did you find any of it interesting?

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

Yes I've done that today @Zoe7 i am thinking about going down THE wharf or SOMEWHERE with Misty and throwing a lure around for awhile. Or putting a few baited hooks out and soaking up the day.
