~ 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!

@MissGremlin I think I have just put on the brakes. I’ve been nonstop for 3 weeks.

No weekends when you pet or property sit.

@Glisten i hear you sweet. You definitely deserve to put on those brakes and just rest for a bit ❤️.

My support button is not working but thank you for the share @MissGremlin. unfortunately today was a little too overwhelming... adjusting back to work after being away so long is really hard. Especially when you find yourself having to manage a room that isn't your niche and everyone naturally wants to test your boundaries...

A month of that feels like too much too soon. I'd be happy just covering breaks or working with my original group.. but sadly there's not enough for two staff in that room

I do @MissGremlin, I really do.

Everything will still be there tomorrow.

I don’t feel guilty about it at all 🙂

Goes to show that my EMDR therapy must be working.

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

I was just thinking of you @Cuddlebear ! It's lovely to hear from you. Yeah. I'm not spontaneous at all normally but I'd been really looking forward to catching up with them for a while. The most stressful part of it was organising the transport. Booking the motel was all online which produced a bit of anxiety, so a friend booked it for me.

😲44 degrees is ridiculous!! I'd be heading for either cool water or aircon! I can't ever remember being in such heat. I would understand if they said Wilcannia. I went to Darwin in the 80's (in summer) and the humidity took every ounce of energy from me! All I could do was lie under a ceiling fan. It was like living in a sauna! I lasted a week there! 😃

I hope today's been okay in the aircon Cuddlebear! Sending hugs, hugs and more hugs! 🤗💜

@Rosepetal96 awww sweet, I'm sorry that today was a little too overwhelming. It sounds like it was a really tough day, but you got through it and I'm proud of you for that.

Sending you hugs sweet, be gentle with yourself ❤️

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

@Glisten that's exactly right, everything will still be there tomorrow.

Glad the EMDR therapy is working for you sweet.

Love and hugs beautiful, you are doing amazing ❤️

I did speak up about it though and I will cover breaks tomorrow so at least I have a chance to breathe a little and reset myself after humiliating myself by needing to ask for some time away from rhe room where I broke down.. 😅 @MissGremlin
