~ 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 ~

Strong words indeed @Mustang67

and well I just felt yes yes yes

then I felt at moment I do not have energy to tell myself over and over be strong bet back up all of the good stuff in there just feels too heavy today

So today and tomorrow and for a few after I am working on not having such blooming high expectations of myself.

I am so understanding and there for others yet when it comes to me I give myself such an extemely hard time. Have been told this many times ove rthe years. Thought about it and agreed then of course filed away in back of mind

Well today what I sensed when I read the words I am going to put that hard work and energy into just being me as I am.

I definitely agree with every word that she wrote though

Thank you again mustange

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

@Sophia1 I have my good and bad days, and when I am feeling down, I definitely don't feel like picking myself up over and over. But those bad days do pass. I love reading Ravenwolf's work, as I find it truly inspiring. And sometimes I feel like she is writing my story.

Be kind to yourself and allow yourself to rest on the hard days and know whatever you do on those days is enough.
