~ 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 ~

Had to come check back again now that the image has been approved. Lol love it @Mustang67 ! 🤣

Sorry about your brothers @PeppyPatti *hugs*. Glad you know you do not deserve their negative treatment of you, and you are worth much more.

I like @Mustang67 's realisation on how people affect you and which people are worth giving your energy and attention to, and which are not worth your time or energy. It can be very hard with family, esp if we have been raised to hold family as obligatory.

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@Jynx A great read. My favourite one is Hard Truth. And I would love to hear everyone trying to pronounce the Emotions People May Feel But Can't Explain. Lol

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

Thanks @Jynx . Didn't see your message before as we posted at similar times lol.

I like the "describe your sad". Relatable the different types of sadness at different times.

@Chasingsunsets @Jynx @REDLINEZ750 @AlwaysMyself @ENKELI @Shaz51

I am feeling exhausted after trying to keep myself from thinking around the events that led to my partner's death. It is the anniversary of his death tomorrow, so for today I am going to try and relax and watch some movies or shows. But I have to be careful and hope no one dies, as it will set me off. I don't mind the crying, it's just the "what ifs" that could send me spiralling.

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@Mustang67 I am so sorry that you are having to go through this struggle. The what ifs are the most painful. Logically we know that there is nothing we could have done but we still ruminate and the pain it causes can be devastating.

I am thinking of you and if okay with you I will say some prayers to help you through this tough time xo
