~ 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!

Hi @Jacques, I just wanted to check in with you

I’m really sorry you’re having such a rough day. I’m glad you reached out to Lifeline this morning and that you found a way to get through that moment. How did the call go for you?

Panic attacks can be incredibly overwhelming. Is there anything that helps you feel even a little more settled when they happen?

Please be gentle with yourself today, we’re here with you💛

Oh @Jacques I'm sorry you're having such a troubling time right now

Please take good care and be as honest as possible with your GP on Monday.

You deserve all the help you can get

You certainly can share here with the many of us who care and support you.

Go gently ✨️ Taali

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

thank you @Nala2022 im really struggling today, a little more settled at the moment, but i know it is not going to last. im trying to stay strong in front of mum. life line where really good but they are really under pressure, i was on hold for 5 min. the person i got was great, but i decided to get off the phone so someone else could speak to them.

i don't know how to stop these panic attacks, not when they are this severe. they are really out of control. im just trying to make it through till monday when i can see a doctor. i looked for mental health services in my town but there are none.

Morning my sweet @Bunniekins, it's a much more respectable hour now. I managed a little bit of sleep. You're so welcome. Love you beautiful ❤️.

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

@Jacques you don't need to be strong for anyone but yourself.

Let your mum in if you can.

I'm not going to tell you what to do, like get into the sun. Go for a walk. Read a book. Or anything.

You just need to do whatever you need to make you feel better right now.

Take very good care of yourself dear friend 🧡 Taali
