~ 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!

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

Dear @AuntGlow I had a tough time because my therapist said some horrible things and I just felt like I couldn't get it out of my brain.

Your care was sitting in the forefront of my mind. I wrote to her and got it sorted I think

Dearest @Bunniekins

Love reading about your daughter.

She's a sweetheart.

It must be overwhelming to have such a brainy daughter.

She is going to have a wonderful life because she is so clever

Oh @PeppyPatti I am so sorry to hear this... that must have felt so vulnerable. I am really glad you were able to address this with her. How are you feeling about it now?

Also, I am very happy I could help you to feel cared for, I am always here for you. 🥰

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@EternalFlower I am sorry you had a nasty experience like that too.

I feel almost violated that someone I trusted has given out my personal information to someone they once considered as bad news and toxic.

I need to give it to God, but that's easier said than done.

I hope you're having a decent day today, thank you for your kindness xo

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@ENKELI online abuse is horrible - it was interesting to read Jynx's comments that this could be defamation - people are so callous online and take no accountability.

Thank u for your kind words - i've been doing a puzzle today to destress and am feeling calmer.

Anyone who abuses and harms others in my mind can't have a very happy life in the long run, it catches up eventually. keep being your good and wonderful self.

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@Jynx I think it's time a plant be named after you 😍. Do you have a particular favourite? Keep in mind it will have to live in Perth temperatures, although I do have some indoor plants that are thriving.
I am constantly amazed that my plants are flourishing. I was never much of a green thumb but I think God gave me the "gift" as a consolation prize for ex friend being such a D-bag lol!! More like since my MH has deteriorated I have focussed on plants more.
