~ 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!

@MissGremlin thank you for the share!

I love the last one, it is in fact true... we are not machines... yet sometimes we expect ourselves to work like them... 🫣✨️

@Rosepetal96 you're welcome ☺️.

Yes it's so very true, we need to remember to look after ourselves, our bodies need rest in order to recover.

@MissGremlin I am about 2 days behind in posts at the moment, trying to get 3 weeks of study into 1.

You are in my thoughts and prayers beautiful, how's life treating you? xoxo

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

Hello @ENKELI sweetheart, it's ok to be behind in posts. Trying to get 3 weeks worth of study into one is so tough, one little step at a time sweet ❤️.

Life's been tough but I'm doing my best to keep pushing through. Found out this morning that I have a house inspection next week so that's making me panic a bit cos I just don't have the energy to clean at the moment. Trying to do little bits at a time but I have to be very careful about the impact on my mental health, it's rather exhausting really. I managed to clean the bird cage out before and put all the bins out as it's bin night here, will feed Casper soon and take him out to the toilet.

Thinking of you beautiful and sending you love and hugs ❤️.
