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"

I been doing alot of questioning and answering recently, and unfortunately I'm doubting the answers I'm giving myself... -and don't feel up2 following through with the answers... due to doubting the answers and their effectiveness, and not mentally and physically thinking and feeling i can go through with it... -even though it's relatively simple... due to underlying illness symptoms, side effects, environmental and social circumstances... which leads toward doing nothing & delaying the inevitable...

I know what the problem is... i know what the solution is... i just get lost in everything that everyone else is contributing... -which burns up vital energy... + I'm partially confined, restricted and limited due to underlying illness, side effects, environmental and social circumstances...

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

Sometimes the constraints of our illness stop us getting the answers we need @eudemonism but it is good that youo are questioning things and trying to move forward despite these constraints. Keep searching Eude - there is a middle ground that you can achieve - it just takes a little compromise often to find.

Apparently under section 24 (1) (b) i need to prove my disability is permanent and likely to be permanent to get a ndis package.

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

Yea @Zoe7 i would like more support that has routine and structure to it. Like weekly out and about ventures with people. A regular meal at a pub OR cafe. Land based Fishing trips and hikes/Walks with my dog. Help with cleaning. Help with cooking. Half my disability is about social and emotional issues. Communicating. Maintaining relationships. + the financial restraints of being on dsp and 'not being able to work '

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

Doesn't the current service have the .power to establish your eligiblity for an NDIS?

Seems a bit strange.

One thing that is good is that the NDIS recognise that mental health issues are a pschoSOCIAL issue.
