~ 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!

@AlwaysMyself I’m glad you are home and that you enjoyed exploring the CBD. You must be buggered after the trip too. How was your sister and her husband?

Yes I hope I feel better at some point. This level of suffering is a lot to tolerate.

I have literally nothing in me to do anything at all. No movies or tv. No reading. I mostly eat a sandwitch at night. That’s all I can muster. Pretty gloomy 😞

@MissGremlin Hello beautiful. I hope the medication can help you too. They take a little while to work as well. Some work quicker than others.

I know today has been a hard day for you. Were you able to make that second call? It’s ok if you couldn’t.

Yes I’m trying to hold onto the fact I have you and others here on the forum. It’s going to take little steps for us thwts for sure. But we will get through.

@ENKELI Hello lovely how are you? What’s your week been like so far.

Thank you for the loving post. It’s been a really rough time for @MissGremlin and myself. Every little step is progress even minute by minute. We are trying our very best and that is all we can do.

Same for you too. Every little step is a step towards healing and recovery.

Slowly getting back to feeling comfy on the forums @Cuddlebear

Taking things day by day. Last night not good, not as bad as night before though.

last couple weeks I’ve been slack with housework. Pacing myself whilst getting essential things done.

thinking of you. Hoping this afternoon was better than this morning. 🫂🫂

@Cuddlebear i was hoping to start the medication tonight, i went to the chemist to get it but when I got home I realised they have given me the wrong one 😞. It's yet another setback and by the time I realised they were already closed so i couldn't ring them.

I haven't been able to make that second call, I'll see if I can tomorrow.

@Cuddlebear hi my lovely, just doing my cert 3 online, not a lot else! At least the weather has been better the last couple of days.

I have to book in for an Xray and ultrasound, meant to ring up today and completely forgot until I tried to move my arm and remembered I'd injured my shoulder somehow. Not enough pain meds in this world!!

Life is tough my lovely, but you are tougher xoxo
