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"

FOr me it has been important to be able to distinguish which low energy feelings are meds caused and which are due to expending energy, exercise, busyness, or emotional disappointments ....

Take Care Eude

I had only one coffee, 2 short walks, one concert about social issues I follow, one yummy ice cream and may have made a new friend on the train.

Take it easy. You are doing well.

@Bunniekinsi like sci-fi action adventure horror true stories crime super hero stuff comedy and renditions of fairytales/folk lore cartoons I rarely watch a full movie these days. But i would like to get into it again. Gotta source the movies first. And gotta be in right frame of mind.

@Appleblossom i had a filling done on a cracked tooth the other day. And the tooth right next to it-has had a full root canal done on it *about 18 months ago. And since getting the filling on the cracked tooth... the tooth with the root canal is now sensitive and sore WHEN I'm eating-so I'm thinking-it may have cracked the tooth or the filling may have come loose ☹

There still seem to be so many hurdles I have to jump over @eudemonism but all I can do is what is asked of me and hope that is enough. I do find that this whole process is more draining than the actual teaching and the teaching part is the part I love - tomorrow is another day and I need to get through that before I begin planning for Friday - it is what it is and I am doing all I can do.

@eudemonism I love all the Predator movies and Terminator movies classics. Action movies are great too. I basically agree with everything you have said :). Concentration is the killer at times but I can do it if the movie or tv show is good.
