~ 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!

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

Hi all I hope you're all having a better day than me.

I'm okay, but been through a really crappy time with my niece being admitted to the psych ward last night.

We eventually got her to the Urgent Mental Health clinic and they transferred her there.

I am waiting to hear from them today so am a bit at a loss

The MI demon is certainly winning the battle with my f'ing family atm

And her mother (my estranged sister) hasn't helped at in fact she probably tipped her over... I can't tell you how angry I am with her.!!!

Love having this place to turn to!

@DownMoreThanUp Hello lovely. I’m here. How can we support you today?

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

@Taali Hello my friend. How are you? I’m sorry your niece is so unwell and in ward. That would cause a lot of worry for you.

I am hoping they take good care of her and if you are close by and up to it you can visit her or message her.

You're not alone. We’re here to support you.

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

@DownMoreThanUp Hello friend. How are you? I am glad the new meds are helping with the voices. That must be bringing you relief and a space to heal. Sounds like you’ve done a lot of work on boundaries. I know it takes time. You’ve really been someone who’s given such good support and advice to me. What is your new place like? It will be good to just have yourself to care for. I’m here and do care about how you are.

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

Thank you so much 💓 @Cuddlebear

I think they have taken her phone away. Understandably. But worrying that I can't be in communication

You are helping by being here for me.

God I hate this MI....

And I have to take care not to let it trigger me too much. Selfish?

I don't know.

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

@Taali You’re likeky right they probably have her phone. That is ok she will get that back. I hate the MI too Taali. I know it’s so very hard. It is not selfish to take care of being triggered. You absolutely must look after yourself and that’s not selfish. You are in a much better position to show love and support to your niece when you are looking after yourself.
