~ 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 ~

Good evening @Jynx I hope your day has been pleasant. No I am not nervous about my surgery. My surgeon explained what he is going to do very well, and I trust him. i just want to get it done. And I also hope that my issues with swallowing and my food getting stuck is fixed. As I have been suffering with that issue since I had my lap band put in, back in 2007. By 2010, I had to have it removed, as it got the point that I could hardly eat anything without it coming back up. So even though the lap band is gone, I technically still have one, made up of the scar tissue at the point of the where band was, and it is so tight now, that I have a narrowing of the Oesophagus. The surgeon is going to try and stretch it first (which I have already had done once), but if that doesn't seem to be working, he will cut the scar tissue to release it from the outside of the Oesophagus. Which can now be done, since he will already be in my stomach cavity removing my gallbladder.

The paranormal shows that I am currently watching is Ghost Adventures. I started watching it a while ago, but then the TV app I used didn't have all the season. But i recently went on the 9 Now and in the Paranormal section it has season 16, and I haven't seen that one. But I love watching Paranormal Caught on Camera. It is amazing what people find on the home security cameras. Some of the creatures I have seen on there, really make you start to wonder how many things are in this world, that we don't know, and it seems like they just appeared out of nowhere. So are the arriving here through some type of portal.

I am so glad that I was asked about my recovery process after 6 years, as it did make be stop and think what I have achieved over those 6 years. And really it was a lot. I just need to find the person who asked me that question, so I can thank her, as it took all my anxiety, over what I thought was not achieving anything, away. And I am so grateful for that, as it had a possibility of starting me off on a downward spiral.
