~ 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 ~

@heartathome I’m glad you feel reassured. It is ok to post about anything that’s in your mind and/or upsetting etc.

I have a lot of withdrawal symptoms. Dizziness, fatigue, depression, anxious, worry, restlessness, poor memory, I feel extreme fatigue and edgy yet I can’t do even simple things. I’m exhausted from the physical and psychological symptoms. They are not any better. I can’t eat, cook, shower nothing. I’m just here existing.

Thank you for the love, hugs and concerns. I feel so empty so when you say you care it helps a lot.

How is your afternoon going now?

Hi @Mustang67 and others. How has your day been? I hope it’s going great! I’ve been knitting a baby jumper for charity and dealing with carer related issues, as well as getting over a cold.

There’s a discussion post area called Craft Central which has people posting all things art and craft, especially diamond art painting that you might like to check out. I post my knitting and cross stitch things there as well as some of my diamond art kits I’ve done.

Tonight, I’m having take away for dinner and watching the final of RFDS on tv.

Take care!

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

Oh, @Cuddlebear I'm so sorry you're still feeling like that! It must be so depressing. You're doing the best you can and you're still with us so I think you should be thanking yourself for that! I don't care about the shower but what are you eating Cuddlebear? You've got to eat and drink! I can understand how you would be feeling so exhausted by this withdrawal. It's been a while now! I remember that feeling of just existing and it's a very lonely place. 😑

To be honest, I've had a long and lonely day. I'm glad it's nearly 5pm! I can take my night meds in two and a half hours! How that for honesty? 😁
