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"

@eudemonism Eude I wish I could take some of that suffering away. I would gladly have to wear it for you at least for awhile so that you could have some peace.

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

Like @BunniekinsI have tried to keep my coffee at 2 per day ...

... but sometimes it creeps up ...

With ciggies it took me about 50 goes at giving it up. I knew when I was ready on the second last time. We had another family crisis, so I started back smoking to get through the crisis, but did myself proud, by finally succeeding a month later ... You do have to learn to trust yourself which is especially difficult with serious mental illness ... but it is possible.

I will have a look at that article. @eudemonism

I am tweaking my meds atm they are NQR.

I hope you enjoy time with your mentor.

Cheers Mate

@Appleblossom i wish I'd never started smoking. It's been a big waste of time and money. Now I'm stuck with trying to quit.

hello @eudemonism

Giving up caffeine and nicotine together is some task...

Have you got patches or nicotine gum to help with the withdrawal ...?

I do hope that one day at a time is not too much of a struggle for you...

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

Yeah @eudemonism I regretted starting too and I did not even LIKE smoking but was pressured.

In response to: Re: Sharing the wisdom within

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

Yea @Sophia1 i got nicotine gum and a script for patches. But no money to fill script. It's a bugger of a predicament.

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

Hey @Appleblossom yea the circumstances i was in WHEN I started SMOKING were not real favourable. I think the elders around me at the time have some questions to answer about it actually.
