~ The Toolshed ~

~ 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!

@MissGremlin anyways I hope you’re doing okay/well today my friend 😊

I think I’m gonna go to the library to work on the statement for the application later on after I come back home

What about you?

@Blackcloud I'm doing ok. I'm thinking about working on my puzzle for a bit today, I haven't done any of it for a while.

@Blackcloud 😳 oh my stars. Why we used to have and still need a student union.

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@Glisten now I want to know where I can get a $10 sauna.

Thank you for poking me with a stick, I was late out of bed as I didn't sleep well and now I feel like something the cat dragged in, and dragged back out again.

I'm doing a diamond painting and listening to the TV in an effort to keep me awake. Might be time to brew me some real coffee.

This is why we don't run out of our meds people. Especially the good, stop manic episodes give you a great night's sleep ones.

What is my darling Tomaatii up to this weekend? I hope you're not doing any more renovations on the A frame.

Do you know how to relax and do nothing productive for a few hours? Some people find it relaxing 😉🥰

Oh Lord! I forgot I don't have a bathing suit so a sauna is out. I've only ever gone au natural but I wouldn't cause a mass eye gouging were I to do that in public.

Mothers would be screaming "look away children, lest you be turned to stone!"

Oh how I long for the days when neck to knee suits were mandatory. Or maybe I'll pretend to be Amish and wear a shapeless muu muu.

Enkeli is delirious from lack of sleep and almost used her real name again whilst rambling on to her poor dear friend who is now no doubt wanting a Bex and a good lie down!

@Glisten @AlwaysMyself I am pretty sure Mr Murdermittens would find his way to a never-ending source of food and Kitty Krack so he wouldn't have to lower himself and resort to eating me!

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

Oh, @ENKELI and @Glisten your banter makes me laugh. 😆 never stop, please.

I recently bought a swim shirt which has proper shoulder coverage! Not just thin bands that give side boobs. (Can I say that here?) And I wear boardshorts to the knees. I dont feel comfortable with skin-tight swimmers.

I leave space for Glisten in the sauna by not using them. (I don't like the heat!) Im not sure if could ever feel comfortable being 'au natural' in one either. I know its "normal" in a lot of cultures. And I know logically I shouldn't care if people judge me on my physical body appearance. But I guess I also just dont trust strangers also not to be inappropriate??

@MissGremlin I love these. It feels like they know exactly what I need to hear.

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@Mustang67 that's what I love about them, they always feel so relevant ☺️

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@AlwaysMyself the sauna I was nekkid in belonged to a friend of mine who is Finnish and it was just a given that you go in without anything on. I felt a little self conscious the first time but my friend made me feel comfortable about it so after that it didn't really bother me. I would never go into a public steam room or sauna in just a towel, I would have to have a bathing suit on. There is no way I'd go in otherwise!

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~
