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"

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

I am not sure what to do about resent. @eudemonism

I had a guy therapist once say I had lots of resent, but it was at a time when I really did not feel resentful.I had travelled for a year, had many good jobs and gotten into a good uni. It was 30 years ago I think what he meant was that I had a lot of reasons to feel resent for my childhood. For last 20 years I have felt a fair bit. Resent has come and gone. The targets of my anger has shifted with time. Resent is often referred to as anger that has hardened. I had to get in touch with my anger, understand what reasonable expectations were, feel the rage, and learn not to express is destructively, but still find to get it out. I had to shake it about and thaw it out. Now I can say I had resent. It has taught me who I can trust and who I cannot. I aimed it pretty generally at the middle classes which then presented a great obstacle for me making new friends. Gradually I have learned to hone my understanding and so I dont make such sweeping generalisations, or if I do I make them with a little hu mour so that I dont put everybody offside.

Have you found any good links on resent?

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

Yea @Zoe7 i think I'd work as a fisheries officer or parks and wildlife ranger if i had a choice. I would of been so good and capable for these roles. However it's not how my story goes. Messed around with alcohol and drugs, got up to no good and made mistakes.
