~ The Toolshed ~

So I've decided to create a new space, similar to The Ice-Memery but instead of being silly memes, these are memes/images/words etc. that I've found that are more like tools and insights for recovery. Hence, I welcome you to:

~ The Toolshed! ~

🔧💡🔩🤔

These are things I've found that are insightful, provide psychoeducation, or that have helped inspire me in my recovery journey. I invite anyone who wishes to contribute to do so! It doesn't have to be pictures, it can be discussion, questions, videos, whatever you like! But to start us off, I would love to share a nice lil stack of memes/pics I've found that I thought were really worth the read.

P.S. If you haven't already, you can also check out our Coping Toolbox for ideas and strategies to help you when you need to cope with the hard stuff!

So without further ado, lemme kick us off!

Will just tag a few forumites to start, pls do tag anyone you feel would enjoy or wanna contribute to this thread!

@Meowmy Hello friend how are you? It’s chilly and so windy in my part of the woods. I’m trying to tell myself things will be ok and that I’m safe today. Having a bit of a rough ride. Are you enjoying today? Any fun plans?

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@AuntGlow hey auntglow, nice too see you online. Hope you had a few nice days.i am feeling a bit emotional. Have been working on my perfectionist insecurity personality problem. It has been so much a problem that caused me lots of relationships and family. It was a very difficult problem to contain for many years.

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

Hello lovely @Meowmy, I struggle with this too. 💛

I find that perfectionist or self-esteem challenges often come from rather young parts of ourselves - the parts that may have felt left out, not enough, or unworthy of love whilst growing up. These parts can manifest for so many reasons, but I think understanding them, giving them space to be expressed, and finding ways to soothe them can be so, so helpful.

Have you explored this much at all?
