~ 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!

@PeppyPatti Peps I’m not sure what genre you are into. The best podcast I have ever heard is Tales of Britain 🇬🇧 and Ireland 🇮🇪 by Graeme Cooke.

He researches and narrates Folklore stories, with a little modern day commentary.

The guy is an absolute bard.

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@tyme How are you my friend? I was discharged from PARC on Tuesday. I’m home now. I’m in the midst of a brutal taper. They decreased my medicines too fast and it’s been hell. They said they were in a hurry as they didn’t want me to stay more than the 2 weeks. They’ve now sent me home while I’m still tapering and having pretty severe withdrawals. In 7 days they decreased current meds [edited by moderator]. Then introduced a new med at a low amount and 3 days later doubled it [edited by moderator]. This caused serotonin toxicity and severe high blood pressure.

PARC had no discharge plan in place. While I was there the psychiatrist was in on my first day then went on leave. Quite a few workshops were cancelled too. The participants were lovely and a really good mutual support.

I still have more tapering to do. Yesterday I was in crisis and my psychologist helped. I think PARC should have been slower on the taper and introduced new drug slower and kept me in longer.

Any ideas on how I can get through this from home?

@PeppyPatti How are you lovely? Quilting is such a good thing to be obsessed with! I’ve always loved quilted things. Have you made anything?
