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"

That sounds like a pretty good plan @eudemonism - do something you enjoy and get outside in the fresh air as well - good thinking

Thanks @Former-Member I've been preying, I've got a little money, I've got smokes and coffee *they keep me going-but without them-i am alot different...??? And if I've got money I always feel I'm not completely done... money is a motivator...

Yes, Eude, I am like that too, no money is a real downer, & it controls me that's for sure, not good. I am glade you have money, I really am! Someone said (typed) to me once- Chin Up! I'm saying that now to the both of us!

Love U!

@Former-Member@Zoe7@Sophia1

I just went to touch Monti, he hissed and semi struck me, so i pulled my arm back quickly. WHEN i pulled my arm back quickly-i accidentally broke the sliding door on Montis enclosure. It was glass. So I've rang the glass mob. Gave measurements and am going to pay for it and pick it up in a minute. This has put a huge downer on my day. Was having a really haughty day until the snake enclosure broke. It's shocked me. It most likely petrified Monti. And now I'm 35$ out of pocket. Dam it dam it dam it.

Oh bugger @eudemonism that is something you definitely didn't need. I hope it is an easy fix but the expense makes it worse.

@eudemonism

Plz try & calm down things will happen, that's life Eude. I suppose maybe re-think weather having a snake is the right thing for you. As Monti will grow HUGE, & where will you put him then?

Poor Monti, he can't help being a snake, can he now! He really needs lots of room to move around, maybe he is a little agro, & needs more room in the hotter weather, & does he have plenty of cool water Eude?

I hope all seattles down for both of you soon!

Love Always!

It's all sorted now @Zoe7 was just a bit of an upsetting thing. +the finances 😦

In response to: Re: Sharing the wisdom within

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

Monti is fine. He WAS quite comfortable and relaxed before i tried to touch him. @Former-Member I'm aware of what your saying, I've considered this stuff. It's just an accident that's all... all sorted now...

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

Glad it is all sorted @eudemonism but it is often those unexpected things that throw us - do something nice for yourself now... maybe take Misty for a drive
