~ 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!

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

@YETI-Bear I'm sorry things are so rough and I can hear how much it's impacting you. I'd imagine not being invited to the birthday party would feel very hurtful. Is there something you could do during that time, something just for you that might help to lift your mood?

Hi good seeing your affirmations i needed them today. i had a major crash falling asleep and having a bad memory scare the living day light out of me. Full on hallucinating, banging hearts, sweaty hands stuff. i freaked it. Up for ages. Had to calm down before i could get back to sleep.

The pace i gained all gone this morning. Been doubting my sanity. Raging at myself. And feeling rather miserable getting up this morning. What a let down when that happens. i was so pleased yesterday i had a good day. Not allowed it seems.

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

@DownMoreThanUp oh sweet, I'm so sorry to hear about the major crash you had. It sounds incredibly scary and overwhelming, I'm glad that you were eventually able to calm and go back to sleep.

I know it's such a let down but try to remember that when we're healing, our journey will have ups and downs but it doesn't mean that you've gone backwards or erase the progress you've made.

Sending you hugs sweet, we're here with you ❤️

Im Currently DIY, things for the birthday girl. and it just sucks because i love them all lot but Ive made some bad decisions that has caused this so it will take time for me to gain there Trust and for them to welcome me back in again and this hurts alot but i dont want to loose them so ill do whatever

I think im going to a Race Day on my Mountain bike but not sure yet

In response to: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

@YETI-Bear the fact that you've recognised that you've made bad decisions but are willing to do what it takes to change and earn the trust back truly says so much. I really hope things work out for you all.

That sounds awesome if you do decide to do that ☺️

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

How are you @Taali and what is the latest regarding your lovely niece? I hope you both are ok

In response to: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

Hi @SmilingGecko kind of you to ask

She's in the mental health clinic attached to the hospital

I'm really glad she's there even though it took an eternity

Sadly here husband has been suitably apologetic which is good in her eyes but me? Not so much!

Will be transferred to another residential intermediary care facility. Not pleased about that but it's better than going back home where she's told to go to bed, MI can not be slept off!!!!

How are you? Up to anything tonight or on the weekend?

Cheers Taali 💚
