~ 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 ~

@Blackcloud Good afternoon lovely. How are you today? How is study going? I totally agree about the crap quality in psychologists, counsellors and psychiatrists. Many make people feel worse. It’s a really huge problem isnt it. I really love how you’ve found a decent counsellor. That must be a huge relief.

@MissGremlin Good afternoon lovely how are you going? The roast veggies sound very tasty and perfect for a cooler day. What movie are you going to watch?

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

Hello @Cuddlebear my sweet, I'm as ok as I can be. The roast is ready but I'm not hungry now so I've put it away for later. I was watching everybody loves Raymond but I've turned it off for now.

How are you going?

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@MissGremlin Hello! What are you upto? It’s warm in Melbourne today and I’m home all day. My results showed an elevated heart rate still in the normal range but right on the border of the high range. GP has given me a beta blocker to use. Won’t start thwt until Saturday as I have a heart stress test tomorrow and the med can’t be taken while doing that test. All the other parts of ECG were all in normal range and good. 🙂

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

Hi @Cuddlebear i'm doing fine thank u, and i've already finished writing up and finalised my essay so now i need to proofread it a bit more before i can finally submit it! 🙂 currently have 2 more assignments in total (1 from each unit) to go for this trimester, and then....the exam that's in October (for 1 unit only in this trimester)

I'm kind of expecting to at least get a credit or a distinction average overall at this point, especially cause i got a 66% on my first assignment 🥲

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@Cuddlebear at the moment I'm just sitting on my lounge with a blanket and my wheat bag chatting to a friend. Glad the results are ok other than the elevated heart rate which hopefully the beta blocker helps. I was given several different ones to try which unfortunately never helped, I have inappropriate sinus tachycardia. Hope the heart stress test tomorrow goes ok sweet ❤️

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@MissGremlin Thank you. I love receiving these. Made even more special coming from you. Big hugs to you.

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@MissGremlin That’s so good you are having a chat with a friend while snuggling. I hope it’s helping release nice gentle happy vibes.

Is there anything that does help for you re sinus tachycardia? Is it caused from anxiety? My GP thinks mine is likely caused by anxiety / complex PTSD anxiety but he’s doing other heart checks just in case it’s something else too.

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@Blackcloud Yay does a little dance. That’s wonderful I’m really proud of you. I reckon you’ve got this in the bag and what an excellent mark for 1st assignment! Treat yourself!
