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"

Hello @eudemonism

Thank you for tagging me...

I think that you are inspiring...you keep on getting back up and stating that you are going to do something about your situation...

That takes strength..

I am here behind you all the way supporting your decisions in making a better quality of life for yourself...

@eudemonism Yes well Eude it is a yukky truth that we need out medication unfortunately otherwise we end up in all sorts of trouble and that is trouble with a capital T!. I drink max 2 cups of coffee in the morning to get me going and then that is it. No more than that. You will feel better for it I can guarantee it 🙂 Then you can get rid of the ciggies and you will be a whole new Eude :D!!!!

Think of the money you will save and how healthy you will be and all the things you will be able to do when you do those two things. Love greenpea xxxx

Awe @Sophia1 thanks... it's very monotonous, it's very draining and to be quite honest. I'm over it. 😁

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

Yea @Bunniekins i read some stuff about meds, ciggies and coffee. They all interact. From what i understand. Ciggies release a chemical that is needed to metabolizes the the medication. And because I'm smoking i need four times the amount of coffee. 😐

@eudemonism Eude have you gone cold turkey on the ciggies and the coffee?

In response to: Re: Sharing the wisdom within

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

There is often such a fine line between what we can tolerate as well and the interactions between things are tricky @eudemonism

In response to: Re: Sharing the wisdom within

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

Nah. @Bunniekins i threw the last of the coffee out in the garden. And i only got enough ciggies to last until lunchtime tomorrow. +I'm broke. There's cases of people coming down with severe side effects when they've stopped smoking. So yea. Christ knows what I'm meant to do. I'd love to put the nurse and other professionals on this same depot injection. It would bring me so MUCH joy to watch them suffer as I'm suffering lol. I would absolutely love it......
