~ 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 ~

@Mustang67 i very much feel that way right now. I've woken up having a panic attack after only being asleep for that short time since my last post here. My body is exhausted, I'm only managing 2 hours of sleep a night the rest of the time is spent having panic attacks 😞. (I'm safe).

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

Oh Sweetheart @MissGremlin you must be so exhausted. I am glad that you are safe, but I just wish that I could help you in some way. If we lived in the same state, I would offer you a room at my mum's place.

I just want to give you a big hug and tell you everything will be ok, but unfortunately, I can't say that.

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

@Mustang67I'm beyond exhausted but my body just won't let me rest. You help just by being here and chatting sweetheart ❤️. I think we are in the same state but anonymity kind of gets in the way of other things 😂.

Hugs are always welcome and appreciated ❤️.

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

@MissGremlin have you given these people a try Towards Home.

I am sure you probably have, but I am looking into them at the moment.

I hope you ended up getting some well rested sleep. But I don't think you would have with all you have on your mind at the moment.

Just remember that I am thinking of you and I truly hope that some agency can help you out.

For immediate, 24/7 crisis accommodation and support in South Australia, call Homeless Connect SA at 1800 003 308. This free service provides assistance for people experiencing or at risk of homelessness, offering referrals to emergency housing and support services.

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

@Mustang67 yes I've tried them and they couldn't do anything.

I haven't had any rest and now something else is going wrong. (I'm safe).

Thankyou sweet ❤️.

Even homeless connect can't help me 😞
