~ 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!

@Flutterbug9 @REDLINEZ750 @Bunniekins

*insert support button reaction to your posts*

@Flutterbug9 I can empathise with the concern for your cats. I have been fortunate to have been able to arrange alternatives for my dogs when I've gone away; I don't like the idea of a dog kennel for my dogs because they are used to being indoors and around people (and I fear they will start barking coping other dogs!). However, animals are very resilient and do cope quite well. I over-empathise with them in my mind 😅.

How long are you expecting to be in hospital for?

@Bunniekins i am amazed how many bunny image/messages there are! They are so cute. Bunny budhism lol. Very clever! 🤭😛

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

@AlwaysMyself I’ll be in hospital from Monday 1 December until that Saturday. Recommended not to drive for minimum 24 hours, with preference not to drive for 48hrs, after discharge.


I will be taking the cats (plus their comfort items) to cattery mid morning on day before I go to hospital and will bring them home in morning 2 days after I’m discharged.

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

Hello @Cuddlebear my sweet, I'm struggling so much. Just had a phone appointment with my gp and he's given me another medication to try and a number to call to hopefully get some help. It's scary being honest about the thoughts and how I feel (I'm safe) but I know i really need help.

How are you going sweet?

Thankyou beautiful, I'm so glad to have you here aswell ❤️.
