~ 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 So relate to your, and your daughters feelings about bad behaviours of those who ought to love us cause bad life inside of us to flourish. i could not love my dad either, my heart full of hate towards him instead, burning hate until well into young adult hood.

Until i found out how come my dad turned out the way he was, and his cry for our love, for he was not able to give us any love because little had been given to him growing up.

So we asked Love to put things straight, and and slowly the hate towards our dad died in our hearts, as also in my mum's heart, and she learned to love him again, we all learned love him again - (me last.) Amazingly he turned out a much nicer man after that. He even blessed me God's love before he died. i almost fell backwards him doing that, for i had never been good enough to get a good word from him, and then the last time i saw him alive he blessed eternal love from God.

For the place where our hate had dwelt, the place where in my life dad's love ought to have always been, slowly filled up with love. The more love replacing my hate towards my dad the more my bad life because of his treatment of me died, (and in us all.)

True story!

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@Mustang67 Good morning my friend. How are you? I’m sorry you’re feeling unwell. Is there something I can do here? I know it’s hard for you. You’ve been through a lot and it’s not easy.

Do you have any plans for today? Are you resting?

In response to: ~ The Toolshed ~

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@ENKELI Good Morning lovely how are you? That’s wonderful news about the Cert 3 for you. I’m so glad it will take the pressure off. The job services providers are stressful. So I’m wrapt you can study and learn something new without the pressure of job search.

Im worse than I was the withdrawals take ages to go away it’s not quick and I still have more drop of medicine to do.

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@Cuddlebear oh honey I am so sorry you're still having to go through this awfulness. I feel icky after missing one day of my meds, I can't imagine how you are feeling. I think you are pretty amazing to be tackling this, and I am amazed that you're having to do it without clinical support.

I am praying for you that you start to feel better soon. Much love and hugs to you darlingheart 🫂🤗

It's 33 here today (and it's 4.15pm...summers a comin') and I feel hot and sticky. I think I will be watering myself when I water my plants this evening!

I have finished the first module of my study, I made it so that it was a slower pace so that I could do a little each day so as not to get overwhelmed. I realised it's been over 15 years since I last studied and I didn't complete that course.

This one will take 3 months and then I can choose to do a second course for medical records. I hope to get part time work in the meantime though.

Look after yourself and know that I'm thinking of you xo

Nah, you're imagining that I've tagged everyone alphabetically, I don't have issues, nah not at all!

In response to: Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

alphabetically, @Former-Member , you have given me who is sick with the flu a great idea 💡 👍

In response to: Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@Shaz51 I hope you're recovering quickly. I hope the idea isn't a painful one.

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

I thought this was the best thread I know to post this. My partner's brother passed away and was found on Monday. I find it very sad 🥹 as he was the same age as me (64). My sister passed away at my age too. Makes me feel the mortality of life. Is this okay to post? I hope this doesn't trigger anyone!

@Jynx @Shaz51

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

Morning @heartathome I am so sorry to hear about that. Of course you are feeling sad and it reminds us about our mortality 😪

I hope you have a cup of tea or whatever your choice is of a warm drink to give you some comfort ❤️
