~ 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!

Hi @Mustang67 @Jynx @Chasingsunsets @Flutterbug9 @Bunniekins and everyone here today.

@Mustang67 Thanks for sharing the mental health quotes and images. They are very helpful and inspiring.

My self care over the past weekend has been to crochet granny squares and to knit a kids jumper whilst watching the V8 Supercars and the 2 Sister Act movies on tv. I’m in the process of trying to move out of my current rental with organising removalists and storage and dealing with carer duties so self care activities are important for me right now to engage in. Roll on Christmas when all of this will be over so I can relax!

Take care!

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

Hi @Chasingsunsets . Thanks for responding.

I’m hoping to be all moved in to my new place by the 20th of this month. I’ve just got to confirm my student accommodation move in date - they agreed to mid December- so I’m aiming for the 18th- 20th. I have a Vcat hearing on the 11th but my housemate is dealing with it with a legal team to be out by the 23rd at the latest. It’s for rent arrears and a possession hearing but the lease ends on the 6/12 and we can’t get removalists until the 9th or 10th so we’re hoping for 2 weeks to move out as some stuff has to go to a storage unit and some to student accommodation as we’ll both be studying at uni next year. The uni is fine for us to move in early as long as we pay extra fees. Our property manager has been a problem from the day we moved in and has lost at Vcat every time she’s been so that’s a positive for us going into this hearing, especially since she’s ‘lost’ our rental money and said we haven’t paid when we’ve had bank statements from our bank accounts to prove otherwise. This is why we’ve got a legal team involved now who are really good with tenancy matters. This real estate company also has a bad reputation in our area for making life hard for people with mental illness issues as my housemate found out by our local mental health service which she’s getting services with. I believe in karma so may that help us. Having a positive mindset and doing self care strategies is also helping me at the moment.

Take care.
