~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

Hey hi hello! Welcome to the second iteration of...

~ The Toolshed ~

I decided to make a new thread, as the first one had errors and phantom pages, and was getting quite long! You can still find all the amazing pics, inspiring quotes, and uplifting messages of the first Toolshed here.

What is the Toolshed? Ain't a place to hang your hammer! Hehe this is a space where we can share the things that have helped us in our recovery. Tools, coping skills, inspiring ideas, and messages of hope and growth, is what this space is all about!!

You can stay connected and up to date on this space by favouriting, or by subscribing to the thread - head to the top of the page, and find the three dots to the right of the thread title (next to the star), click, and from the drop down menu you can 'favourite' or 'subscribe' - and clicking the star itself will also favourite the thread for you.

Favourite threads are then always available in your favourites list which should appear on the right hand side of most forums pages - or you can go to your profile and scroll down to the 'Favourites' section under your recent posts.

If you subscribe, it means that you will get a notification every time someone posts something new in the thread. So up to you if you simply want it to be always accessible, or if you want all the updates, or both!

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! So without further ado, here's my latest batch!

Oh my sweet @ENKELI I know the feeling but you will always have a place in my heart and here in Saneland ❤️.

My week is, well I'm not sure really. I just feel like I'm existing without any purpose (I'm safe).

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

I truly hope that one day I end up here.
I know it's been hard lately.
Things haven't turned out the way you've wanted and it hurts.
You're in a place you didn't expect to be and you feel lost at times.
It's okay.
Sometimes, life falls apart so that better things can come together.
I've learned that after my expectations and hopes didn't work out the way I wanted...
And I ended up somewhere much better than I could never have imagined.
It wasn't easy and it won't be painless , but it was always worth it.
So don't be afraid to turn the page or start a new chapter.
It'll be scary.
It'll be exciting.
It'll be new and fresh.
Embrace it and see what the new chapters unfold to reveal.
Chances are, what lies ahead might just be beautiful if you are open to the possibilities.
Breathe deeply, open some new doors and take some chances.
Old doors won't lead you anywhere but back to old pain.
When you're ready, step onto the new path.
You never know- you might wake up one day so happy that you've forgotten about the old story.
And you deserve it.
Ravenwolf

Hey @ENKELI

Are you sure from that med? I'm pretty sure I haven't been stopped however

I do admit from not achieving anything of importance I do have that theme of

not wanting to do anything creeps in.
you, BunBun make me feel heard.
heaps of others
