~ 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 ~

Yes, I was @Taali I thought it was the end for me. I said goodbye to my son on Facebook! I've had CPTSD, severe depression and anxiety since I was in puberty so I was pretty messy after the flood. I've also been diagnosed with bipolar, ADHD and OCD. Thankfully I have a great psychiatrist who I've been seeing since 1999, who has helped me deal with a lot of things over the years. I'm very blessed! I didn't have any insurance but am with community housing. They transferred me to a beautiful small town by the beach which I'm really grateful for! . I had to get used to the tiny one bedroom flat as I was renting a three bedroom house in Lismore. I'm used to it now, though. 🙂

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

What a harrowing event for you!

At least you came out okay, physically at least.

Thank goodness you have found a good psychiatrist to help you.

Nice that you're near the beach, but a huge adjustment re your housing.

I guess we should be thankful of small mercies @heartathome

I can't imagine what you went through.

Thanks for sharing here today 😀

Taali 💙

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

Hugs @heartathome you are inspiring. Glad you have found a way to be cosy in your little place. I haven't been to the Southern NSW coast since the late 70s, so I see it through old memories. I am sure its a bit different now, but they can only change the the coast and cliffs so much ... says she who did studies into sand movement ... lol

@Taali I spent a while year up through the night and on the forum. It was so helpful connecting on her with people. I am better these days, though up in the early hours sometimes, I keep away from digital stuff til into the 'proper' part of the day. Whatever is proper for me!? lol

@MissGremlin Hugs bella. Hope you are feeling better. Love the effort you put into posting uplifting memes for us all ....

Hey @Appleblossom Idon't have a "proper" time. Hahaha 😆

I am awake so early no time feels like it's right.

But am glad that I can find someone here 😌

I've just been receiving a wonderful lot of Facebook messages showing the John Farnham tribute concert 🙌

It was absolutely brilliant!

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

Morning @DownMoreThanUp sweet, not feeling myself today. Think I need to take it very slowly and gently.

I hope today goes gentle on you ❤️.
