~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

~ 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!

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

@MissGremlin Wonderful truths. Did you know what i found out about all that? i found that depression lies big time making us feel worthless, weak, fragile, rejected, despised, and no good. That only works when we heed those lies tho, for otherwise we find the truth of ourselves to be that we are survivors, stronger than all those who have not been tested by bad life like we have down deep. And that the lie which has us feel our MOST fragile, in the truth of ourselves will elevate us to near super human strength and ability for we survived what many don't! For believing the lies of our ill thoughts and feelings has us overcome the hopelessness, sadness, despair, and meaninglessness of our depressive illness. Yet if we saw the truth we would dance the joy finding self back right underneath all those lies, gladly letting them go no matter what ill thoughts and feelings say.😁

Honest for me it was the best way to find my good life back! Deep on the bottom of my fall. For me heeding my depressed thoughts and feelings had me hurting hell for years. Yet only down there in my pit did i finally learn to take good care of myself hurting doing that. And i realised that me hurting bad life is the REAL truth of myself, not the bad life in me hurting me a depressive illness.

@Jynx @heartathome @Cuddlebear @MissGremlin @PeppyPatti

Suffering a depressive illness i needed to learn that lesson of life big time!😁

Hello @PeppyPatti

It's been a while! I'm okay over my way. Had four shots of coffee over ice-cream this morning (yum) and had a friend ring to see how I was, which was nice. Any cool change on the horizon? I hope you're okay, apart from the heat! The heat can be unbearable at times! I remember moving to Darwin in summer many, many years ago. The humidity was stifling! I felt like I was living in a sauna! I only lasted two weeks there! 🙂💚
