~ 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 ~

Hey @Cuddlebear it’s good to see you back from PARC. I do hope the med transition is worth it long term, but it wouldn’t be easy on top of all the other challenges. I hope you can eventually settle into your new place and feel better.

@PeppyPatti haha. Good on you for. I can’t thread needles anymore, but sewed a lot…once upon a time

@MissGremlin love your encouraging memes and posts.

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@PeppyPatti How was the therapist? I really hope it went well.

I wasn’t ready for discharge considering these brutal withdrawal symptoms. My psychologist has contacted the CATT team this afternoon to make contact with me as I’m not coping so well. I hear you re tapering off medicine. Mine were not working anymore according to a public psychiatrist at APARC but unfortunately her tapering regime cause serotonin toxicity plus severe withdrawals because she decreased way way to fast and added a new medicine too which takes 4-6 weeks to actually work but also gave me too much serotonin. I’m just waiting for CATT people which I hope isnt an unpleasant experience.
