~ 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 ~

@Cuddlebear i managed to get my shopping done although I did forget a couple of things.

I'm sorry that this cross taper is so awful for you, I really hope it settles soon and that the new medication helps you. I'm glad you have this space here and we love having you here ❤️.

Awww i hope the grooming went well for Wilbur ☺️

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@ENKELI I now understand why there is no such thing as normal.

Retiisi does CCL have too much money?

I’ve noticed some people disrespect what their money buys them, by not looking after what they own.

Including the space and environment that they occupy.

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@Bunniekins thank you. I am well after having a week of stomach cramps every time I ate something that my gallbladder didn't agree with. So currently pain free. Enjoy the rest of your evening 😊

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@Glisten yes, I personally think CCL has too much money. She's never had to worry about a mortgage, she's an only child and when her mum died she got the house and car. She keeps saying that she deserves a pay rise for some reason (she's told me why but I stopped listening when she started on why she should get paid more). I suspect she's on close to $40 an hour if not more. She recently bought a new car, and is currently on a cruise. I worked out the cruise and airfares was about $6000 plus she's staying in London at the end of the trip to catch up with friends. She spends $900 a month on her cats. I spend $125. Granted I only have 2 but that's like 100 a cat! Oh, did I mention she spent 15 THOUSAND dollars on one cat when it needed surgery?

Meanwhile I feel guilty because I went to Bunnings and spent $140. Most of that was on a new kitchen tap, but still!

She took me to Bunnings for my birthday last year, spent $125 on me and didn't bat an eyelash.

But my house is nicer 😁. And so is my car 🤣

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@ENKELI of course your house and car are nicer. Not covered in cat pee.

I think it’s wonderful that you can put all those things aside and be friends with CCL.

I wonder if CCL’s co-workers can smell cat odour?
