~ 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!

Befriend your Discomfort - I got to find a positive way of doing this.

It’s the end of the day and I’m tired. I’d be setting myself up to fail if I did it now.

After my walk tomorrow morning.

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@Glisten like any skill, it takes some practice. But I'm glad to hear you're gonna give it a shot - feel free to report back with how you go. I think it's helpful to remember that all emotions serve some sort of purpose - it helps me to think of it in evolutionary/survival terms. They are there to keep us safe, though they can become maladaptive/overactive at the wrong times, and so being patient and gentle with them has been helpful for me to accepting them, befriending them, and giving them the space they need to move through me. If that makes sense 😅
