~ 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!

Will do.trying not to ostracise the family again but the bigger concern is my brother's mental and physical health.

Thanks so much for caring 💗

Hope I haven't loaded you down too much @MissGremlin

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

Hello @MissGremlin did you sleep ok last night? I got in a reasonable night but did wake up in the middle of the night again which is usual for me. Would be nice to have unbroken sleep but I am sleeping. Have been soaking my feet this morning in tea tree essential oil as I have tinea. It works really well. I buy DoTerra which is a therapeutic brand unlike the diluted brands on the market. Now I'm listening to Rife frequencies for tinea off you tube to fully knock it out. Just made a big mug of some jiaogulan tea to start the day. Not much on today, yesterday was busy, so a quiet day today. Might get out my tuning forks to balance my chakras

Hello @SmilingGecko, last night was a particularly rough night for me as I barely slept. I got 3 lots of an hour sleep before waking up having nightmares and panic attacks which resulted in being awake for various times. I'm glad you're sleeping but it would be nice to get unbroken sleep. Hoping the treatments help with the tinea. A quiet day after a busy one yesterday sounds perfect. I hope the day treats you kindly sweet ❤️.

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

@MissGremlin sorry to hear youre still not doing well with sleep deprivation. I know its hard on you. Would like to see you at your best. I wonder what is causing your sleep issues apart from panic attacks at night. I had problems with my thyroid for a few years which really decimated my sleep schedule. Then before that it was gluten intolerance causing insomnia. Many people in the MH community have gluten intolerance I have read online. Plus nowadays we are swimming in a soup of electromagnetic radiation which is known to affect sleep

@BeautifuColour thought I'd tag you over here, it's a place where inspirational quotes are shared. Happy to tag you regularly if you'd like, if not that's perfectly ok aswell ☺️.
