~ 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 ~

Hi everyone, I went to bed early last night and slept in today. I know I needed it so I don't feel guilty for it. It's heavily raining here this morning. I love listening to the sound of the rain it's so calming. I've opened up my balcony door and window to listen to it. 🙂

I'm going to try and relax today whilst I have the week off work. I've been practicing mindfulness as I find I get stuck in my own head thinking about things that aren't even happening or haven't happened yet. It feels like I lose a lot of my day to this because I'm not present in the moment whilst I'm awake. Does anyone else experience this?

What's everybody else up to today? 🌧

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@MissGremlin Hello lovely. How are you? How is your tooth today? Toothache is awful I am hoping you are healing. Have you been able to see a dentist or get antibiotic for any infection?

I have started another drop in medicine today. I’m so nervous about how I will feel. The tapering is so hard and just left alone at home to cope. It’s not easy at all.

It’s raining now here and cooled down. Looks like rain all day will be hard to get out at all.

Do you have anything in today?

@heartathome How are you lovely? I feel the same way about showers. It seems to affect a lot of us.

Our beautiful @AlwaysMyself is in a 3 week overseas holiday at the moment. They won’t be on forums and are already missed.

What are you upto today?

@Bunniekins @Good morning lovely. How are you? Thank you for the affirmations. I am gonna need all the strength I can get. I had another drop in my antidepressant today. The tapering had been brutal and I’m terrified of how I’ll be feeling now I’ve dropped my dose even more.

Do you have anything plans today lovely?

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@Cuddlebear hey Cuddlebear i am having a antipsychotic dropped atm as well. i am sorry that you are having negative effects from the drop in antidepressent though .... can you see your psychiatrist to discuss the symptoms? maybe it is all going too fast for you? luckily for me i have only had positive effects getting off this particular med. are you having a replacement one? it can be a hard juggling act. shopping day today. maybe middle son will come over i am not sure. planning christmas presents for carers atm.

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@Bunniekins Hello lovely. There’s issues with the forums post this is my second attempt to reply to you. 🙂

I didn’t realise you were tapering too. I am really glad to hear that it’s going well for you. Are you going to replace it with something else? Or is it a case of don’t need it anymore?

I don’t have a psychiatrist. I saw 1 in public system at APARC who did a medicine review and that was it. I can’t afford a private psychiatrist. My GP now is managing the taper. At the beginning it was way way too fast. I advocated to slow it down. I ended up with serotonin toxicity making me very sick.

Im glad you’ve got some shopping on today and planning Xmas pressies for carers. Helps starting a bit earlier too with less rushing about in crowds at the shops.

I hope middle son visits you today. Seeing the kids and spending time together is really uplifting and puts a smile on our faces.

Enjoy the shops lovely lovely.
