~ 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!

I definitely like the turquoise pedals and grips more @YETI-Bear but I'm a simple person with OCD. I like things that match. By the way, the turquoise colour signifies men's mental health. 🩵

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

definitely the orange and blue for my personal preference @YETI-Bear

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

Hello @YETI-Bear, I'm so glad they make you smile and it's exactly why I love being able to share them ☺️. That's good that you were able to see your psychologist and that even though it was a hard session, you felt ok after it. Hoping those rough times are behind you soon.

The ride you went on sounds wonderful, really glad you got to go for a ride even if you didn't do the racing.

The pain sounds very uncomfortable to deal with, maybe appointment could provide some relief from it?

I'm loving the turquoise options!

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

@YETI-Bear

Yes I know, I've been told some people don't like to be tagged

Understandable, but I love it 😀

Especially when I'm feeling alone. Sound a bit needy huh?

I'm not really OR am I?

And yes I did eat the whole big packet of chips. I kept putting them back in the pantry and getting them out again. I just stopped eventually and scoffed the lot Hahaha 😆

You've got to go the turquoise option ☆☆☆☆

You You up to anything naughty or not tonight?

I'm settling in for the night and trying to tire myself enough so that I will sleep...

Fat chance of that!

Be well Y-B

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

Yes, it's hard to please everyone about tagging on the forum. We hope we can all be flexible about it and keep good will.

@Taali @YETI-Bear

I spent a lot of the late 70s and early 80s on 2 wheels. Wow that's a long time ago! Lol

I am going colour blind... just enjoy the ride...

Cheers 🍎
