~ 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!

Hi @MissGremlin I spent the day resting in bed reading/sleeping to rest my back.

How was your day?

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

@Mustang67 I'm glad you've spent the day resting sweet, hoping it's helped to ease some of the back pain for you.

My day has been very emotionally draining. I'm in bed now and going to see if I can do some of my diamond art while I snuggle with Casper and listen to music.

@Cuddlebear petalouda sounds like a pretty word, like mariposa and vlinder

And papillon in French, although I am sure someone has already mentioned that and I am just behind in my posts!

@TAB @DownMoreThanUp @GezzaP @Mustang67

Not relevant at all but it tickled my funny bone 😄

@ENKELI Thanks for sharing. It did give me a little giggle. He he he

@MissGremlin I'm so sorry you had such a tough day. Just know that your feelings are completely valid and you don't have to be okay right now.

I am glad you have some diamond art to keep your mind occupied, and you have Casper for support. And music is always good for the soul.

I can just imagine how much you're carrying, and I really admire your strength, even if you don't feel strong right now.

My thoughts and prayers continue to be with you.

@Mustang67 Apart of the last one i love them all and are very important. Using words without negative connections i'm also learning about. Much to learn.

@Jynx @MissGremlin @TAB @ENKELI

Yet i believe only sharing our lives together as Mentally ill people can help Mentally ill people. Although i do believe that privacy must remain for our safety, it is real life sharing that can support others going thought hard times.

If i consider that almost all of my remedies i have received from others, Mentally ill people using them because they could not use the conventional psych medications either like me. So then sharing can be important as long as anonymous can remain doing so.
