~ 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 ~

@Chasingsunsets today i like the last one, the one about being defeated. It's how I feel at the moment 'defeated', but knowing I've been here before and made it through means that there's a good chance I'll get through it again 😊.

Haha the gremlins like messing with the support button. Somehow I feel bad for supporting someone's post when they say that they are having problems with their support button 😂.

@MissGremlin yeah I get what you mean re that last one. offers some warm deep reassurance to us right, that quote. I felt it when I was reading it. We have gone through rough patches before, we can do it again.

I knowww I am very jealous of your support post abilities 😂😂😂

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@Chasingsunsets so very true.

Haha my support button had a temper tantrum yesterday, but so far today it's been ok 😂.

Hi @MissGremlin my friend, it won’t let me ‘support’ the post but thank you for these lovely and beautiful affirmations for today ❤️

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

You're so welcome @Blackcloud my sweet, how are you going?

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@MissGremlin Hello lovely. Im so glad it has cooled down where you are.It is still hot here and I have the air conditioner on. It’s helping but when I go out to toilet fur baby it’s awful. We are getting a cool change but not till very very late tonight or tomorrow.

I’m sorry that you are having a tough time at the moment. I realise how much energy and strength it takes to get through these days. Is there anything I can do here to help ease the yucky? Doing the best you can is all anyone can ask of themselves. I’m proud of you because you do your best and even when you are going through tough times you still have time to care about people on the forums.

Wilbur has allergies the vet said and he’s had to have a vaccination for it. Vet said it’s likely caused from pollen/grass and he checked his glands which were fine.

Sadly I’m a mess. I can’t stand this tapering and I feel so unloved right now. Heavy and dark times. I have another drop in medication tomorrow. I’m dreading it.

Oh my sweet @Cuddlebear, I'm just about to head to the shops so I can't reply to everything now. But I just wanted to send you hugs and know that I love and care about you ❤️. I'll message again when I get back from the shops.

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

I hear you sweet and i hope you hear back from her.

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

Hello @Cuddlebear my sweet, i really hope the cool change comes in fast for you. The heat is horrible.

Just knowing you are here helps so much sweet. I've been in pain from a tooth infection which hasn't helped. I'm feeling okayish today otherwise though. Thankyou for the kind words beautiful, I love being able to be here for others ❤️.

I'm glad Wilbur is ok as much as I know the allergies can be annoying but at least it can be treated. He's such a special boy in so many ways 😊.

I hear you sweet, I'm sorry this tapering is so rough on you. You are so loved here and we are always here for you ❤️. Sending you love, strength and hugs sweet, you've got this ❤️
