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"

Been dealing with a few resentments today. I start thinking about something that happened to me, is happening to me or will be happening to me. Like REAL LIFE STUFF... and then i start fighting against it with bitterness, anger and spite... but I'm the only one who's getting hurt, I'm the one who's suffering for it..

I swear they get a kick out of it, i swear they think they've done no wrong, i swear they couldn't care less about the damage they've done... i suppose I'm frightened to be hurt, because it shows they just don't care, and it sends me into fright, fight and flight mode every time... but "these people ' who have done these things.. they are pack animals 😂

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

@eudemonism what sort of things?
I can relate however. Particularly on the point about the past. I often think and remember things from the past and become bitter, sad or resentful.
The biggest factor in that is forgetting to make a distinction between the past and present. But also knowing that the future is not predetermined.

@eudemonism Eude the way to get back at people who have done you wrong is to lead a good life. To be kind (which you are btw) caring (which you are too) and to forgive .... not for them but for yourself. Forgiveness is like a release of all the tension that you are feeling. Hate only punishes yourself. It is like a disease which eats away at you. Let it go.

Imagine you are a young Eude with a balloon inside the balloon is everything these people have done to you and then let the balloon go into the air up into the atmosphere to disintegrate. Then turn your back on it all. xxxxxx

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

The problem is for so many of us here @eudemonism that we can't change the past. We can dwell on what is happened and get angry but you are right that the only person that is presently being hurt is you. So much of what we have had to endure is unforgettable or unforgiveable but it is what it is unfortunately.

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

@MDT yea it's strange how it works... i think i should just use moments like these to strengthen my faith, see my part in the ordeal, forgive and move on.

In response to: Re: Sharing the wisdom within

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

@Bunniekins yea ok I'll try that. It's so easy for myself to get angry, bitter and twisted. I suppose because I'm in such a bind with everything on a daily basis. And desperately looking for away out.

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

@Zoe7 I suppose I'm wanting someone to blame apart from MYSELF. I'd probably be better off saying it's all my fault, I've done it to myself, I've gotten myself into this position and I'm going to deal with it.

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

@eudemonism Eude I never find you 'angry, bitter and twisted' I just think that you are very sad which makes the pea sad.
