~ 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 ~

That's interesting! I didn't know that @Blackcloud @DownMoreThanUp I think mine (if I have it) is from my past experiences in childhood and CPTSD. I don't think bipolar would have anything to do with RSD. I don't know, though! I don't know if I have RSD but I can relate to everything on it! 💛

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@MissGremlin How are you lovely? Thank you for the affirmations.

I’ve had to book Wilbur in to vet. He is dragging his bum at times but doesn’t have worms. I’m so worried I’ve been crying all morning. 😞 The affirmations reminded me you’re amazing for remembering me each day.

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

Hello @Cuddlebear my sweet, honestly I'm not great, I can't stop the tears from flowing. I'm trying so hard to change things and make my life better but I keep getting more things thrown my way. (I'm safe). I'm spending my day curled up on my lounge with Casper.

Oh sweet I know it's scary when our dogs aren't well. I hope it all goes ok with the vet. Sending you hugs beautiful ❤️.

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@MissGremlin all of these thoughts I’ve been having on a day to day basis are all due to my past experiences that has been affecting me throughout my life including today in general & I have nothing I can do in my life including hobbies like I’ve always been every single day for over a decade because of these experiences that all play a part of how I deal with life.

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@Blackcloud i hear you sweet. What about going for a walk in a park? It seems like that's something you enjoy doing.

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@MissGremlin I’ve been doing that three days in a row this week, so I thought that today I would give myself a break. 😂

Didn’t wanna bother taking the train to go out to the CBD and taking a walk at the park there again. Plus, it’s about to be 25 degrees today.

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@Blackcloud it's good that you've been doing that sweet. It's ok to give yourself a break but what's something else that can help you. Do you play games on your computer or phone, do any crafts or colouring, reading, listen to music or watch TV?

It's 25⁰ here today aswell. I went for my morning walk before it got too warm.

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@MissGremlin I just watch YouTube videos & listen to music. Sometimes I wish I had the ability or capacity to do a hobby that’s more physical & can keep me busy/company, but then the moment I start it then I would always need myself a break shortly after before I either continue it or not.
