~ 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!

Hey 👋🏼 @scruffypuffball I was reading your Walking Away post 4 Feb 2024 - again.

I’m dealing with trauma responses. May and June was hanging on by my finger nails.

I thought I was ok-ish. Had no idea until I was amongst a group of people. How much I don’t want to be around people who don’t understand my needs.

It takes very millilitre of strength to tolerate when someone is talking at me too long 😖

Just grates on my nerves.

@Jynx What do you think? Is that not uncommon in my current mental state?

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

Oh gosh @Glisten this must have gotten lost amongst the notifications debacle, I'm sorry I didn't see it till now 😓

That does sound like a pretty normal trauma-response to me hun, needing to mask and fake being ok, our threshhold for irritation during social interactions can be very low, and make us want to run/escape/hide.

I think it's an astute observation that it is to do with those people not understanding your needs. If they were understanding, what would that look like?

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@Jynx you're fine. Not your fault the Notification SNAFU.

If I’m typing an emotional forum post. I usually realise that I should be putting it in my journal.

But this time I needed emotional validation.

I’m getting antsy waiting for my lawyer to get a response from my ex-Narci.

I’m stuck in Freeze mode right now I don’t know how to pull myself out of it.

Any tips?

Maybe I should just go have a sauna?

👀 as she looks at paperwork all over the bed :face_with_rolling_eyes: and then stares at her phone. Ohmagrrd crapfest.
