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"

I bet it did give Monit a fright - hope he is settled back into his enclosure now @eudemonism

Many of us here have fears that we need to constantly work on Eude so I get what you are saying - nobody can take them away for us, it is only us who can actually deal with them - wish there was a quick fix hey!

Yea no quick fix unfortunately @Zoe7 I'm really disappointed that i didn't attend the psychiatrist appointments. It WAS exactly what i needed.

Oh that sucks @eudemonism can you be put on a cancellation list?

In response to: Re: Sharing the wisdom within

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

Yea I've already asked about that... I cancelled ahead of time *the afternoon before. Because i wanted someone else to take my place... they've been planning this for months, i swear they could of got me in earlier... it was a day before the new moon, 18 days before my 33rd birthday, a few days after another nephew was BORN. @Zoe7 hopefully there's a cancellation next time the pysch doc is over from the city...

Well I've decided to stop drinking coffee... it's giving me all this anxiety and energy that i just don't need or want... I'm thinking i would like to slow down a bit... but still wanna get out and about to do stuff if i need... and the only way i can see that happening is with medication... it's either or either... speed up and do as much as i can or slow down and take things easy...

Good On You @eudemonism You are the only one who can really honestly decide the best balance for you, taking into consideration, (nights, sleeping, activity level and general mood and outside stressors), with consultation of helpful MH practitioners.

There is no Hurry, best do it well. You are worth it.

I have sometimes managed to go without coffee .... not often tho ... I do curb it a bit.
