~ 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!

Morning @Cuddlebear, not too sure how I'm am right now but I'm here.

How are you going today?

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@MissGremlin Still having a tough time. I’m trying hard but just feel awful. I hope that your day does go well. I’m sorry it’s been rough.

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@Cuddlebear sorry to hear that you are feeling awful. Always here if you wanna chat about anything. Sending you hugs ❤️

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@MissGremlin Thank you. It’s really nice of you to chat especially when you are having hard days as well. I’m still in my pj. Gonna try out some clean clothes on. It’s quite chilly in Melbourne today too. Do you have anything on today?

In response to: Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@Cuddlebear i don't mind chatting and it's good that we can be here for each other when things are hard.

Pjs are good for those cold days 😊. I've done alot already this morning, i did washing and cut everything up for the soup that I'm making and it's almost ready now. Want to do some colouring and give the drawing a go that's posted on a thread here but my motivation isn't quite there for it yet. Do you have any plans for the day?

In response to: Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@MissGremlin Wow you’ve done so well today. Washing and yummy vegetable soup is awesome. I didn’t see the drawing on here but I hope you do find the motivation to colour in and even draw. What is the drawing of?

I have some training today with my guide dog and trainer. That will be a good distraction and I hope the rain calms down a bit which will make it a lot more pleasant too. Then I’ll just be home. I just can’t muster any motivation to do anything at all.

Golly @MissGremlin

I'm getting inspiration from you.

I think you plan your day.

It's a bit easier when you do this.

I'm with my mother today. I haven't seen her for Months.

I'm seeing her in a different light. I am not scared of her anymore but we will see what happens when I get home. My usual thing is to go to bed and scream for 5 days.

I don't think I'll do this. I hope not.

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

Thanks @Cuddlebear , sorry I wasn't on for a bit, everything came crashing down for me. The most recent picture to try to draw is a flower.

I hope the training goes well for you. Would definitely be good for the rain to calm down a bit so it's more pleasant. Completely with you on the lack of motivation front.

In response to: Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

I hardly plan my days @PeppyPatti, I mean I know i have things i need to do but mostly I just wing it 😂. Some days I get things done other days not so much. I did a bit this morning but then everything came crashing down.

I do hope spending time with your mother goes well for you. I'm hoping you will be ok after but know that we are always here for you no matter what.

Sending you hugs my sweet ❤️

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@MissGremlin I’m sorry you came crashing down. Try not to be hard on yourself because doing washing and cooking is a big thing especially when not feeling well. It is hard to push through really crap emotions and our brains thinking about things that make us worry. You’ve done awesome getting through today and I hope that this evening will give you some quieter time and you can enjoy the yummy soup you’ve made.

I finished training for today and we did really well. There’s more tomorrow and Thursday. It stopped raining a bit which was good and only really started raining again once we got home. First day out for a while as finally tested negative for covid.

Going to try to figure out what to eat. I hate having to do that when I feel yuck.

Ah a flower is cool for drawing. Do you know what type it is? Do you have a favourite flower?
