~ 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!

Much sympathy to you @Former-Member . My MH is badly impacted by just one case, I can't imagine how hard it would be to see so many. But I do have ongoing contact.

I've gained so much from this thread.

@Former-Member that makes a lot of sense! sounds like a lot of heavy things to see/hear/act on, and dealing with it numerous times as well - even harder. i wish you received better support at the time, you definitely deserved more. i imagine you did your best, and i appreciate you for trying so hard 💙

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

Thanks @rav3n, I wish I had received fair warning before accepting the job as well as the support. I thought I was sacrificing a good salary for good karma (as I took a big pay cut compared to what I was on prior), turns out I also sacrificed my mental health, my relationships with everyone around me, my house and possessions and if I hadn't have survived what I did, it would've been my life also.

To this day I still wonder about the people I dealt with, praying that their places are being maintained and they are all safe and their conditions / life has improved.

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@Former-Member ahh they're smart with showing you the money and keeping the details lowkey! but also super unfair, i hope they don't treat their employees like that still... and i'll hope with you that those people you worked with are doing okay/better.
