~ The Toolshed ~

~ 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!

Awww thanks @Glisten, but really the AI did all the work. I just typed in the quote. I love butterflies, so I always try to use them whenever I can.

@Glisten is that giving too much away? Probably. I have just edited the post.

And yes my name does mean classic muscle car. I absolutely love muscle cars. Especially the Ford muscle cars.

bloody hell i am still re-aligning my chakras since the cyclone winds over melbs earlier this week. is that what a cyclone sounds like? i am sleep deprived and not very focused. But do I have something to share? why yes, yes I do.

Never Again

God I miss him

It's called pathocracy:

Toxic people, (narcs, psychopaths) become more unhinged as time goes on. Even in politics. They always de-compensate which means they return back to their baseline abusive state. (To "compensate" means they behave themselves for a short while to get approval from people/systems. Once they have power the veneer of civility flies away and you see their true intentions) They always get found out as they overplay their hand:

And the decay of workplaces, churches, families etc etc...

People think recovery is painless, you have to work through those negative emotions to come out the other side.

This reminds me of abuse. The nervous system is similar. It is not like a muscle. If you expose yourself to abuse, it does so much damage and disregulation, you spend decades trying to recover and you are never quite the same. Just like your body has to recover after an infection, your nervous system has to recover from abuse. Do not recommend. Hardship/abuse does NOT build character goddamit. You have to rebuild yourself after the damage. I hate those a$$holes who say that as it is not true.

@Glisten aww thanks. i miss posting too but a co-worker lost him mum to stroke. happened suddenly and we are short staffed so I am busy with work and family issues and everything is overwhelming. I will try and stick my head out occasionally.

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@scruffypuffball you work in a small team? What do you do for a job?

Family always comes first.
