~ 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!

@Glisten I got a text from my car insurance company telling me there was a storm where Paris is "usually housed". I looked around and thought that they must have got the wrong country!

Rain? What is this "rain" you speak of?

Still working on the car huh? It's gonna "glisten" when you're finished. Geddit?! 🤣

Yup, the meds are back on a stable level and I am back to causing trouble heh heh heh.

Sensation news @ENKELI with her Mischievous Self. I bet you feel 💯 % better than before?

Yup I get it. Glistening and shiny - full Mr Sheen. But not Charlie Sheen. I don’t think he does cars.

Tehehe 😁

Hello @MissGremlin I hope you are allright, have been praying for you to be able to find your feet and get secure housing. I cant begin to imagine what is going through your head right now. Have been concerned about you. I wish there was something more that could be done. But just letting you know I have been thinking of you and your wellbeing

Hello @SmilingGecko, thankyou sweetheart. Things have gotten so much worse for me, I'm trying so hard to keep pushing through but it's honestly starting to be a real battle (I'm safe for now). I have exactly 2 weeks now until I'm homeless and there's just nothing i can do 😞.

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

I'm so sorry @MissGremlin. My house is falling down and I cant afford repairs. Sleep has been hard to come by. Not homeless but the house is getting unfit to live in. I hope something can be done for you. You are such a lovely caring lady. I would have thought a friend could allow you to couch surf until you find some housing through the government emergency waiting list. If anyone deserves a home of their own, a safe place to be then its you. I will consider you in my daily prayers. I saw another homeless lady who was big in the MI space and she was in a similar situation to you. Life can be so cruel. She was lucky to find interim accomodation after a considerable wait though. I dont like to see genuine people like you suffering. Life can be so unfair to people that dont deserve the hand they have been dealt with. You are very brave and have a big compassionate heart. I hope an open door presents itself to you soon ❤️

Bingo @MissGremlin I was talking to my psychologist about anxiety brain 🧠 last Friday.- tehehe 🤭

Wish that had an Off switch - useless piece of machinery that burns up way too much energy.
We do the best with what we’re got. 🛌😆
