~ 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 ~

I had to put a case together against my abuser, it was like 10 pages and 10k words. It took a long time but it was worth it. I also had to put a case together for a S harrassment / bullying case at work. It was so draining. I thought we were going to lose our jobs. (There was more than one person targeted) luckily I wasnt alone. But it was worth it. Luckily the ceo was female and progressive. But so stressful. I get what you are going thru. Sitting with you at this time.

@scruffypuffball Wow that is heavy. Really heavy. Was it cathartic to work through it?

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

i had to put a case for the psych ward as family member was abusive, they were going to discharge without meds. It was like I was preparing for a court case. Had to keep it clinical. Dont present as emotional, just present as cold hard facts. Eg on this day he did this, on this date he hit me etc. Went thru 20 years of it, tears streaming down my face. In the end they were shocked by what they read and noticed he was showing symptoms in the ward. Mums account also corroborated with mine. They did neurological testing found he has ASPD no conscience or empathy. They then rehabilitated his behaviour and when dischared he stopped being abusive. Not because he was sorry for what he did, psychopaths dont care. But because they warned him they would get police involved and catt team. Abusers only respond to consequences not if they hurt someone. So yeah it was worth it. Violent people require expert psychiatric intervention.

I am not saying that you will get good outcomes all the time, no matter the outcome, you have to have a "nothing to lose" mentality.
