~ 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!

Thanks @MissGremlin

Hugs to you @Meowmy and hope things get better soon.

I've noticed an inside reaction I've had twice now to ones about "being a burden". 🤔 because I may not currently be a burden to people (because I try to carry it myself or through paid services). But I do believe it would be burdensome on my family member if I were to live in a way that was to enable me to cope better. It would be a financial burden, and a physical burden. And I think that is reality - if i wasnt working and thus could not pay fully for my expenses. And if I still was not able to do cleaning and cooking for myself then either I have to pay someone (further financial burden on them) or get my family member to do it (physical burden on them).

Whether they are *willing* to accept that burden instead of the alternative outcomes is a different issue.

What is my thinking missing here?

Am I taking the sentiment more literally than it is intended?

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@MissGremlin Good morning to you and Caspar. Loving the affirmations. I really resonated with the one that said it may not feel like your holding it together but you are.

Anything on for you today lovely?

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

Morning @Cuddlebear my sweet, yes I resonate with that one also. You my sweet are doing absolutely amazing at holding it together even if it doesn't feel like it, I'm so proud of you ❤️.

I have a shopping trip on today but other than that i don't have any plans. What about you?
