~ 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 @DownMoreThanUp @MissGremlin and others. Thanks for sharing the Storm posts! I can relate to these right now as things were quite stormy for me in May/ June with uni and housing issues. Hopefully things improve for me soon!

Take care!

@MissGremlin

i'm finally breaking free from my loved ones. It has been a horrendous journey. i had no idea how much influence they all had on me being emphatic, and it has only recently come 'down on me' and what it did to me. And what my true emotions are and which ones were not mine. This is really making a good come back in me. For all that is no good was not mine in the first place. IA told me today that much of my illness, including the voice have much more to doing being a very sensitive person who feels the room wherever he goes not knowing he does as such but wondering how come his feelings gone haywire and where they come from? My bi-polar diagnosis mightn't be not that accurate therefore. For my life slowly slowing down my emotional contents.

Content/Trigger warning: Sexual assault
Especially my rage, came all the way back for my sexual assault and near murder aged 11, his rage, and had never been mine.
i hated it so. i truly begin to wonder how many of us maybe doing this without realising?

i have only awoken to this after my wife left me, and all outside input ceased to be absorbed by me, from her, and only me and Jesus are left most of the time. i know He is true in my life i just have to get strong enough to keep other emotions loads out of my heart.

Hi @Jacques

I'm sorry you went through such a difficult day yesterday. It sounds like the pharmacist was really concerned about you, and I can understand how scary the idea of going to hospital must have felt for you

How are you feeling today? 💛
