~ 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 ~

@Glisten thankyou sweetheart ❤️. You made the tears flow even more when you said that. I'm hurting so much today, everything feels so heavy, like the weight of the world is on my shoulders. (I'm safe).

@MissGremlin my Grems. Someone should have told you that you are a Gelfling. With gossamer wings you lift everyone up.

@PeppyPatti if it’s any consolation. The ONLY way I keep weight off is weight bearing exercises.

As soon as I stop, the weight slowly creeps back on.

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

@Glisten My psychologist, just manages to say a few things here and there that show she has comprehended and is encouraging without being dismissive or blaming or impatient. Its not a simplistic transactional relationship. I can be open and be me, without having to take on the burdens of everyone else, which was the way life went for me a lot of the time. I m not looking for her to give me solutions, its more an opportunity to be open and real.

@PeppyPatti

Thanks.

@Mustang67 @MissGremlin and all
