~ 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!

@Rosepetal96 oh sweetheart, it's ok to breakdown. You did so well to speak up, that takes strength to recognise that you needed a breather.

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

Thanks @MissGremlin , I'm trying to remain calm and do something nice for myself to feel a little less overwhelmed. I might make a chamomile tea tonight

Sometimes if there was a rewind button I would do things differently, but unfortunately they panned out the way they did. My focus for tomorrow is to be more grounded and happy and work on how to better handle derail moments

@Rosepetal96 a chamomile tea sounds perfect after a rough day.

@heartathome I’m glad you got help with the booking and well done on taking the train. It’s so hard to do when you have anxiety etc. I’m really happy thwt you enjoyed seeing your friend too.

Oh this temperature is unbelievable. I’m in a small flat it’s old. The air conditioner is as is 20 years old and barely works. 😞 It was 37 insude and 44 outside. I nearly called an ambulance as my chronic medical condition was really giving signs of stroke etc. It’s now 38 outside and so hot inside.

Darwin is so hot and humid there’s no way I’d survive a day ley alone a week!

@MissGremlin @The gremlins finally gave up and it’s working again.

Im sorry sweet second by second is hard but I know you have the inner strength and support here to get through. I’m glad you are safe too. A few of us are really doing it tough.

Here for you lovely.

@Cuddlebear those gremlins messing with the system 😂.

It is really hard. There's definitely quite a few of us doing it tough but I'm glad that we have this community and I'm lucky to have a couple of really good friends to talk to outside of here 😉.

Here for you always too sweetheart ❤️.

That's a shame about the aircon @Cuddlebear It's not doing its job by the sound of it!! 37 degrees inside is insane! 🥵

Please look after yourself in this heat and don't hesitate to ring an ambulance if needed! Better to be on the safe side, hey! 💜
