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"

My garden is a ten year vision @Zoe7 -last year I threw a heap of peach, nectarine and apricot seeds out there. 5 have sprouted and popped up. So I'm hoping to get a couple nectarines and peaches and one each of the white and yellow flesh varieties. All the figs dropped off for some reason. I think because of stress. What about your garden?

My roses have been amazing this year and all my seedlings I planted have grown really well. Some of my herbs are growing well but some have dried out a bit too much and silly me haven't watered them enough ...it is definitley that they are in teracotta pots that I didn't seal first @eudemonism but I have more seeds so I can plant some more.

@Zoe7 don't worry about what the principle says. Worry about what you're thinking and how you're feeling about everything.

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

I have to worry about what the principal says because she is in control of when and how much I work @eudemonism At the moment she is still observing me and will only leave me on my own if she thinks I can manage it - which is ridiculous but there is nothing I can do about it - she has all the power in this scenario and as much as it is getting to me there is nothing I can do about it.

Do you use the produce you grow in the garden? @Zoe7 do you have any fruit trees?

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

I have one lemon tree that fruits all year round @eudemonism I often give a lot away to my sister and GP because although I use lemon a lot there is simply too many for me alone. I am still trying to dig up my side garden to plant some veggies but I will need some help to get that patch sorted as I need to build a bed and can't manage it on my own right now. My sister will help me in the holidays though.

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

Yea ok @Zoe7 lemons are good. I've got a very stunted lemon tree outback. I'm hoping it comes good.

In response to: Re: Sharing the wisdom within

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

My lemon tree was hidden away under a lot of overgrowth when I moved in but it seemed to survive despite that - now it is thriving that I have cut back around it @eudemonism

I will eventually plant beans, carrots and lettuce - all the things I eat a lot of. I need some more basil seeds to get that growing as well.

Re: Sharing the wisdom within

Try garlic chives, chives, oregano, mint, parsley and rocket. I've had great success with these @Zoe7
