~ 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!

@Blackcloud when you wrote about:

“the host person read my message, then when it got to the emojis part that I included in that message, she made some faces to replicate the faces of the emojis which I thought was very unnecessary and the rest of the group were having a bit of a laugh about those ‘emoji’ faces she made and then they were all talking about emojis for a whole ass minute… also, none of them had anything to say about what I wrote except for one person”

I am so sorry that happened to you. You trusted the host and then got disrespected for your efforts.
I use humour as a coping mechanism around family and friends, or when no one can hear me. But you are that organisation’s/host’s client - Not for long I expect.

The host’s actions are not to be tolerated. That isn’t what support looks like.

@Jynx feel free to correct me, if I’m wrong.

I absolutely agree with everything you said @Glisten

since then, its been making me think that perhaps I won't bring any of the thoughts I've been having about the next time i join in their next ND group - even so, not include the emojis in my messages at all there the text time i type and hit send.

but thats ok i think. because theres another organisation that I'm now associated with and that organisation is an autistic peer led based one 🌿
