~ 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!

@TAB hey tabby, mental side things could be worse than physical sufferings. I was so unhappy most of the day. Compare to before the betrayal was usually only half a day unhappiness ha. Well may be unhappy at night too. Just gets relief in the middle of the day for a few hours used to. Now it is mostly unhappy all the time. Still alive clinging to little pleasures.

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

yes, you were betrayed , but it's your reaction to being betrayed that's messing you up @Meowmy anyway, if depressed half day, you already know how to deal with it then. yes my post was 'physical' what passes for my body affects my brain too

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

@Meowmy sorry for what I said. Maybe ask psych if worth punishing yourself?

this person stole from you., if they are at your church, tell everyone there. Only fair.

Maybe get someone to look after your money for you like public trustee or something

a guy used to work with would gamble all his pay. so he let his workmate would take it and give it to him for things he needed,not give away to thieves and criminals

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

I gave lots of people money they never intended to pay back, some more than double what you did , how bout $24,000 16 years ago? prob $40,000 now, not $13. and i didnt work full time, didnt live anywhere fixed. anyway just have to move on ok after telling everyone and sending lawyers letter and civil court for this guy cos he deserves it tho

put an advert in paper, tell people in social media @Meowmy
