~ 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 ~

Hello @Cuddlebear my sweet, today I'm so tired and feel blah. I only got 2 hours of sleep last night so I stayed in bed most of today. Crying for me feels scary cos I don't like not being in control of my emotions.

I'm still not able to eat, I did have a jelly bean before though. I'm going to ring my gp tomorrow to tell him what's going on cos its concerning me.

I'm trying to limit how often I have to go to the shops now cos it gets very overwhelming when it's so busy and loud.

Awww Casper and Wilbur know how to take care of us 😊.

I actually just packed my puzzle away a bit cos I can't focus on that at the moment. But I've been sorting out the colours for my diamond art that I'm going to start at some stage.

Oh sweetheart, I'm sorry. I understand that minute by minute survival mode, that's very much where I'm at. I know that defeated feeling and the fear for the future. You are not alone sweet, we are all here for you. Sending you lots of love and hugs beautiful ❤️

@Cuddlebear hello my darling Bear. How has your Sunday treated you?

I am the same with my GP. I have been seeing him for 25 years and although I know he's retiring soon I really don't know what I'm going to do. Even when I lived up north I would get my GP to fax through my prescriptions to the chemist I went to, or I'd go visit him when I was in town.

Mental health and medication is complex so I don't blame the other GP's, they were doing what they thought was best. I imagine I will find another GP and it will be trial and error, but with my records hopefully it won't be too bad!

Today has been warm and I have been keeping a low profile. I don't do heat. Summer is my least favourite season!

@Judi9877 and anyone else who uses essential oils!

i'm curious to know, are there certain types of oils that work best for you? do you apply the oil to your body or are these diffuser type of oils?

i always here people talking about essential oils, so i'm looking to learn more and see what sort i should get 😊
