~ 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!

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

@AuntGlow@MissGremlin Its just not easy living in a world where almost the entire population in the world aren't willing to go on to actually help those that are actually struggling and be willing to offer them a shoulder to cry on.

Well considering my barriers with verbal communication and me being highly sensitive, I dont see myself in being able to get to any career - including one that im interested in because very much all the roles that exist require you to verbally communicate with customers/clients and stuff but also in all workplaces theres no 'perfect' coworkers or anything like that lol and its sad how we live in a world the way that it really is

I thought of having a career just to get a bit of extra income adding onto my DSP payments but you know...lol

so yeah, not possible. and like...I just dont wanna end up having to face such hard situations in the future (like having to live in a shared house or ....living in a public/social housing) especially despite todays cost of living with private room rent prices being unaffordable these days.

I dont know why ive been having these kinda thoughts as of this week...hahaha....
