~ 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 ~

@Mustang67 Waiting for the images........

Not impatient at all just wondering the wisdom hidden out of sight...

Wisdom applied in love dines on food money can not ever buy.Dollars will burn when wisdom kindles a true love possesing real riches.Wisdom does not charge a price, but does need a willing heart and mind learning to take heed.A thankful happy and joyful determined heart can help enormnously overcoming depressive thoughts and feelings!To conceal fear raping us, births us terror lying (to ourselves) about it.The anxiety catch 22 in action.Know your body, heart and spirit and heal your soul.The proven physical ailments anxiety brings us.

Have a wonderful and peaceful sleep friends.

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@Mustang67 Casper is a cutie and I'm very grateful to have him. Awww how gorgeous 😍.

Oh that sounds so tough, whilst assistance dogs should most definitely be allowed i can hear the worry about how the manager could react. The rental prices are ridiculous at the moment, I'm struggling to keep a roof over my head.

Oh both those incidents are absolutely heartbreaking and such tragic accidents, I'm so sorry to hear 💔. Sending you lots of love and hugs sweet ❤️.

Sorry I wasn't able to reply earlier today, things got very chaotic for me. Hope you had a lovely day.

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

Hello @Cuddlebear my sweet. Today was very busy for me, Casper is doing well though.

Awww thankyou sweet. He's definitely a cutie and he looks good in his vest 😊.

Oh sweetheart I'm so sorry you feel like things are getting worse. We are not sick of hearing though, we care so much and it's horrible that this is taking such a toll on you. Sending you lots of love and hugs sweet ❤️.

I hope you got your online shopping done.

I went to the shops today but it wasn't a long trip. The toothache is still reminding me that it's there. I have a doctors appointment tomorrow morning so I'll speak to him about it and see what happens.

I hope your day was ok, sorry I didn't get to reply earlier but I hope to chat to you tomorrow ❤️

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

Hello @ENKELI my sweet, thankyou for those prayers ❤️.

You're such a beautiful soul and very much loved here by many of us, thankyou for being the amazing you that you are 😍.

I'm really hoping that my GP can help tomorrow or at least point me in the right direction of someone that can cos I've had enough of the constant pain. I'm sorry that you suffer with dental pain also, it's absolutely horrible. The government really does need to look into ways to make dental work affordable to everyone.

Thankyou for those virtual hugs, very much needed and appreciated ❤️.

Hope you've had a lovely day sweet 😊.

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@Mustang67 those are all stunning 😍. I actually brought some diamond art today when I was at the shops. I have one that I've been working on for ages or rather I started but haven't touched it since. But anyway I wanted some smaller ones to work on which is what I got today 😊.

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@MissGremlin I too have one sitting under the TV. I started it ages ago, but with this medication, I don't have any motivation to do anything ☹️

What were the picture(s) of?

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

Hi @Mustang67

sometimes when motivation is low the diamond art pictures can test our focus - they are so tiny, sometimes colouring/doodling can be a way to build focus?

There certainly are beautiful ones!

Be kind to yourself

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@Mindee unfortunately I live in a cabin at a caravan park, and currently I don't have anywhere comfortable to sit, or room to even place the materials. I did get my partner to find the one that I started and still needs to be completing, out. So that is currently sitting under the TV. I have issues with my back, so I can't make room on the kitchen table/computer desk. I have to rely on my partner who works full time to do it for me.

I just found the Hobbies & Projects Discussions, so I am hoping if I start seeing other people posting their work, it will build up my enthusiasm.

❤️❤️
