~ 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 ~

Glad you have a weekend to recover @NightFury

Will going to your niece's birthday party be something to look forward to?

I am doing a fund raiser walk for breast and ovarian cancer on Mother's Day morning - hopefully it will also help me to feel not so worthless. I'm in a bit of a slump at the moment

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@Till23 i hope it's something to look forward to. I need a bit of something to lift me this week. I hear you, I'm feeling the same...I've just crashed a bit.

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

Do you get on with niece's family @NightFury or could there be some friction?

I'm going a bit out of my comfort zone as I'm an ambassador for the event, so it will be more than just the walk/run for me. Maybe that will stir me out of my slump

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@Till23 we get along okay. There's...tension with my Mum and Dad. They don't approve of my brother's wife, or her parenting style...and that can cause issues. I'm just...not feeling very peopley in myself. I don't have a lot of words at the moment.

Wow. Being an ambassador sounds like a worthy cause. Let me know how you go.

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

I am not really a peopley person @NightFury I'm always worried I'll do or say something wrong.

I know that humans need other people and I do too, but at same time I prefer to be by myself most of the time, because I don't have to wear a mask

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@Till23 it used to be easier to say and to believe that I didn't need anyone, I could do it all on my own. But...it's not true. I do need people.

I'm the same. At the moment, pretending that everything's hunky dory drains all of energy and leaves me feeling exhausted and...and at odds with myself.

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

I seem to feel that too @NightFury

I think at the moment it’s also because without work I miss a lot of small social interactions.
