~ 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 ~

@AlwaysMyself truth has always been a bit more complicated for me so I tend to be careful about being absolutist about it…. Eg. Who my mother and father were or what my name was….or even who my child was…I don’t mean to waffle, talk in circles or complicate things… but these shifted for me where most people don’t have to worry or over think @DownMoreThanUp

@Bunniekins sending gentle hugs as you navigate this stage with your son.


@heartathome i really relate to the matches pic. Thank you for posting it. Reminds me of when they were essential to life.. for the stove, heater and hot water…. Made the difference between a functional house and a squat, a tent or a haystack. Though their use to light cigarettes was less necessary. lol.

@Flutterbug9 great pics. Thanks. Welcome to the forum.

@Jynx @rav3n I love that spiral concept … growing over the “blip” or issue.

@Bunniekins

Glad they were meaningful to you.

@Jynx @Appleblossom @rav3n @AlwaysMyself @ENKELI @heartathome

Any useful tool is handy to know about suffering a mental illness i reckon.

Those who suffer have the same slurredname, so lets make sure we remain Family.
