~ 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 ~

Itchy rashes sound annoying @Taali! Have you changed your soap or washing powder since the operation? Are you still on the medication? 🤔 Are you on any new medication? I'm not technically minded. Someone put it on my phone for me. The one I've got is called ChatGPT. It's quite informative although I never take it as gospel. I guess it's like google. I think that's where the information comes from. I'm not surprised you're feeling wonky with all your support away! Are they coming back soon?

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

Yes all back this week. So hopefully I can settle somewhat

I've got ChatGPT so will have to try it today.

No new soap or washing powder etc but am still on medications

@heartathome

Suns peeked out now so will open my windows and heart ❤️

Thanks for the advice and affirmation.

Taali 💙

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

Morning @Taali sweet, I've had a really rough nights sleep and have a nasty headache or more pain in my head. I've gotten up to make a cuppa and taken it back to bed, hoping I can get a little bit more sleep after.

How are you doing?

I hope today treats you kindly sweetheart ❤️.

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

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

Yes @Taali I got totally wiped out in the flood. I lost everything!! I was up to my neck in water but was able to save my dog! I thought it was going to be the end of my life! I was saved by someone in a tinnie. It was unbelievable; the biggest flood in their history but I'm okay now, four and a half years later. I was there over 30 years and have been through many floods but nothing like that! 💚

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

Holy hell! You must have been terrified @heartathome

I, for one, am so sorry for you 😔

Im really glad you survived and are here with us here today!!!

You poor darling 😢

You're amazing!

I really hope your insurance helped somehow.

It's no wonder you have bad memories.

May I ask , if you had MH issues prior to the event? It's absolutely 💯 okay if you'd rather not answer. Just put RNA in your response.

Take care,

Taali 💙
