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: Coming to terms with reality

Well, another blessed morning has begun. And it's very much like the many other mornings i been through. It should turn out to bea good day from what i can tell from here.

Thanks for replying @Adek it's interesting to hear about your point of view and your faith and stuff from the Quran. I'd likea copy of the book so i could learn what it's all about. I figure that is where this writing comes from. ? A small copy was at the local library awhile ago but I only got to flick through a few verses before i put it back down.

And @Former-Member i suppose no news is good news and you're just getting on with the day to day stuff?

Peace be with you too @Appleblossom. I hope u have a great weekend. I will be attending a lecture tonight by a scholar, discussing a book on mindfulness and religious practises that lead to peace of mind and tranquility. I will mention you @Former-Member @eudemonism @Appleblossom in my prayers there as well as the whole creation on earth for continued blessing, guidance and a better tomorrow.

Re: Coming to terms with reality

Im disheartened bye my struggles and my sufferings. Although they are inevitable. I like to think i can combat and fight against them. And avert them getting to the point of being overwhelming. But more or less. No matter what my circumstances the struggling and suffering will remain.

A philosophy i once worked on. All but makes sense now. We need others to rise ourselves above in life. And others to look up too. And happiness is essentially derived from our ability to suffer less then other human beings. Then if we portray them as the enemy. How good does that make life?

It's a scenario i been a victim of. Many times over. And it's a scenario. I have also inflicted many times over. And i figure it must be like a second nature for human beings to be a victim too. And inflict upon others. Then we or they come face to face with the portrayed victims or be in the position of inflicting.

Re: Coming to terms with reality

Today is going to be a good day for me. Around sunrise I'll be going walking with the dog. Perhaps along a beech ora stretch of the coast line. (When the bridge reopens it will be a case of wondering around down town ) i can go and visit mum and dad if i wish. Or catch up with one of my friends. (Have met new people over the weekend... so we'll see what becomes of that in the coming weeks. A duck don't fly witha goose. Nor does a goose get served as a duck. I'm going to makea batch of braised steak and onions at some stage. And serve it with mash and beans and some buttered bread. But am working my way through a batch of spaghetti bog at the moment.

I'll be spending some time alone today. And I'm hooinha friend gives me a phone call before sunrise. I find the questions against questions helps me clarify what I'm doing for the day.

I put a small chest freezer on lay bye at a second hand shop the other day. And I'm questioning if it was good money for value compared against a brand new one.

There's vehicles on the market within my price range. And I've got the loan approved and paper work just waiting to sign. And I'm hoping i get get a vehicle that will be suitable to. Do a few odd jobs with....... do some camping. Do some travelling. And be better suited to my lifestyle. The car i got at the moment. Does a bit of tapping and knocking when i first start it up in the mornings. But i just hope it don't break down and does many more miles for me.

Have a good day everyone.
