~ 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!

Evening @Blackcloud 💜, I hope you don’t mind if I jump in and say hi 🫶, I just wanted to say don’t underestimate how well you have done so far! You have done incredibly well!

Im wondering what has happened for things to shift for you but you don’t need to mention it if your don’t want to. Don’t loose sight of your goal my friend talking with you over the months I have learnt a lot about your strength, determination and curiosity. Sitting with you tonight 💛 ps did you get your retainers 😊

@Chasingsunsets I'm actually not sure. Brain is struggling to comprehend things at the moment.

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

@Chasingsunsets honestly when I first wore them on the first night they felt so tight and uncomfortable but I managed to sleep through it but I didn’t bother wearing them again for the next 2 days because I couldn’t stand the tightness that it felt 😅 well now I’m wearing them again the second time, it feels okay and a bit better than the first time

tomorrow I’m gonna be going to my uni to collect some food from the food pantry but I have to be there somewhere from 11am till 11:30am. Then an online meeting with my teacher + disability learning officer, then I’m gonna facilitate a peer support group (chat facilitate) late afternoon. So a bit going on for me tomorrow

i finished and submitted the assignment 2 days ago that is due this Thursday and I’m really glad that I’ve finished and submit it way before the due date as I always do😌

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

I think I may have lost my mind a tiny bit

I see a therapist ( you know ) who is taking steps to retire ….
iv used ai and Claude ai and worked out something really important to me - it took a long time but I think iv been in living in another reality

because I’m singing away about to send my brothers all this email of our upbringing and at the last moment I stopped and put it away a couple of hours later went to read it and it sounds like a pile of disjointed silly billiness

ahh well ….. @MissGremlin @Blackcloud @Chasingsunsets @Jynx @AuntGlow
