~ 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 ~

@Bunniekins thanks sweetheart. Fortunately for me the male parent lives in a nursing home in country NSW while I live in Perth so I won't have anything to do with him. I haven't seen him since 2010 as my stepmonster hated me and wouldn't let me stay with them. I was going to go over and visit him but will save my money for something more worthwhile.

For 50 of my 56 years the man was mostly absent, blamed my mum and other people for the wrongs in his life. If it wasn't a person it was the Army. He's been an A-hole for most of his adult life.

By the time Christmas comes around I am pretty sure I will have forgotten all about his behaviour and I intend to send him a gift regardless.

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@ENKELI you are such a good person. such a classy lady. you could make a donation to a animal sanctury with the money that the present would cost but the choice is yours. i am just so glad you are far away from him. so you are not compelled to visit him. xx

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@ENKELI Hi nice to meet you! Thank you for introducing yourself and asking if there's anything you can do to make it easier for me. I feel that a lot of my communication barriers appear in person more than online. It helps when I am given time to answer and process what someone has said so the forums are great for that. 😊

@ENKELI oh sweet, i hear you. It's hard when those that love us don't or won't stand up for us. I'm sorry that you have copped verbal abuse from people while they just stood by and did nothing.

We are all here for you and we all love and care for you so much sweet ❤️.

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@Bunniekins I do monthly donations to several animal welfare organisations and my motives and that altruistic. If I don't send anything he will whinge about it. If I do it will shut him up.

Thank you for your support my sweet Bun, I'll make a note to check in on you over Christmas too 😊 ♥️💐

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

Hi friends, I have a song recommendation for you guys. Some of the lyrics and the mellow vibes of the song here remind me of both of you. Let me know what you think of it 😊

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@Cuddlebear hi gorgeous, I am feeling much better, thanks to you and my Sane fam. I don't have much planned today, perhaps some gardening which always makes me feel better.

My neck is out of alignment so I am taking it easy and not doing anything too strenuous.

How are you today? Do you have some exciting plans?

Much love

E
