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"

Yea i understand they will help set up and all that. So it will be good to have them in place and going. Then full of goodies. Even desserts 😀 just wanting to get the products that i picked.

This Christmas is finally feeling good for once for me. But is not good that is not so good for you 😞 i feel for you there.

Am worried about my cat. She has swollen utters and looks really sore. ? Got dog booked into get first vaccinations done next week. And got car going to Mechanics on Monday. Hoping to get quite a bit done.

I vacuumed. Mopped. And done some cleaning and tidying today. Long over due. The house could do witha week of cleaning and tidying. I tried new vacuume cleaner. But didn't do a really top job was really disappointed. It has only turbo head and hard floor head. My house has lino floors.

@eudemonism

have a bit of a sweet tooth do you?... like my husband..,

I favour more savoury like savoury biscuits...dips...olives...cheeses..

but love dark chocolate....

your hoover does it have a setting where there are small brushes or felt?

otherwise can you ring up the place you bought it from and swap for something else?

if not...have you checked that there are no air vents open? as in on the rods themselves?

cat will have swollen udders as her milk dries up....that is natural progression...did the vet tell you what to look out for? if you have any concerns just ring them up and one of the vet nurses will reassure you..they will not mind because they are all animal lovers and want the best for the animals.

don't worry about me re christmas....I will handle myself...I have been down this path so often now...

good to hear someone say that this christmas is finally feeling good for once...

I think because they shave the area it sticks out more. It's all good signs really. Wanting to go outside. Lickingand cleaning herself. Laying on the bed eating well. I just see her tired and with the bucket on her head and looking sore s do feel for her. It will pass.

I have a printer lined up. So i can start printing the pages of my book. Just need to puck one out of two. And follow through with it.

It's a Vax 1600watt and there aint the normal head attachment with the pack. I was expecting dirt and hair free floors. But really its no better or worse then the job the old vacuume cleaner i got does. There is a hard floor head though.

@eudemonism

Oh what a shame ..

I had a vax for over 20 years..very good machine still have it actually ..husband uses for cleaning out the cars..still have all the attachments as well..

if we weren't in the virtual world you could have them...have you contacted the shop where you bought it from to see if missing attachment there?

bucket on animals is hard to watch I know..

if she is eating she is fine..what does mr Mac think about it all?

Brilliant news

about the printer..

good that you are wanting to get back into writing...that will be very good for focus.. Grounding ..distraction..

just keep out of sight of any visitors..

happy for you that things are turning around for you..

Good morning. The birds are just begin in to chirp here. I had my coffee and ciggies for breakfast. Coffee is sickening after drinking it for long enough and goes hand in hand with smoking. Just run out. And thinking about stopping. Its a social thing for the visitors. A status symbol. So made cup of tea.

A new scanner. Fax. Copier and printer was advertised online last night. So i sent message about it. It's a couple hundred ks up the cost though so i asked about delivery. Good condition and so on. Good brand good price. These things are sometimes novelty and ornaments more then anything else. Hardly used. If they can deliver I'll grab this one.

It's hsrd

It's hard to keep my writing away from people cause it's an open plan living area and in plain sight however it is on a computer. Would love to publish a short poetry or story book and be recognized for it.

Confirmed that the kittens are male through Internet browsing. Purrpurr is looking better all the time. Mac has a new collar with his rego Tag on it. And is booked in for vaccinations.

Keen to get back into no coffee. No smoking. No pot. (Which has reduced dramatically anyway ) and just a couple beers here and there. Herbal teas and good. Food. Exercise rest. Good relationships. And my hobbies. I got no reason to have all these stimulants in my system. However. It does fuel the reason for visitors coming around. I go through ups and downs. Highs and lows good and bad times. Effected bye dozens of different things. The cup of tea went down a treat

Take care. Look forward to hearing from you again.
