~ 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!

@Taali my results aren't great, but it at least gives answers as to why I get such crap sleep.

Yes, answers are best to have.

and everyone I may have missed. I hope your Thursday is treating you kindly, I am rather sleepy after not sleeping well and then waking at 3am. I had 5 extractions and a filling at the dentist yesterday and am just about to leave for EMDR. I am so tired! Mouth was a little painful last night but I did manage a few hours' sleep after taking some OTC pain reliever/anti inflammatories (you know the ones 😉) plus some prescription pain relief but still not enough sleep!

Take care everyone, and be kind to yourselves 💜🫂💐

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

hope you get some sleep soon @ENKELI are you getting gold grille for the 'hood now ??..

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

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

@Taali Cpap machine that i can't afford nor could i tolerate using it, custom made mouth guard going through the dentists (again costs as i can't even afford to have my wisdom teeth out) and surgery to have my tonsils out which again would be a cost. So I'm pretty much screwed and just have to deal with it 😂.

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

@ENKELI I'm not in your tag list anymore 😞. Do miss seeing posts when I don't come across them.

Hope you're able to get some sleep soon sweetheart ❤️.

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

Take good care @ENKELI

I feel for you with having no, or unsettling sleep!

It sucks big time.

Yes i know the OTC meds you refer to.

Keep up the prescribe medications too.

I really hope you can get some rest tonight.

No fair! @MissGremlin

Sometimes it just sucks to be one of us.

Thinking of you my friend 🧡

Talk about things that suck, it seems that I am too old to be accepted to a mental health service activity 🙃

I said " So what do I do? Join a ****ing bingo club "

GRRRR....

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

@Taali it most definitely does suck sometimes.

Thankyou sweet ❤️.

Oh that's crappy. On another note I'd gladly come to bingo with you 😂. I actually miss the days when I used to go with my mum and have fun playing.

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

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

Yeah @MissGremlin how can I be too old????

It's a music activity and what does age have to do with it?

I'm HIP oh no I meant COOL or maybe VELVET

Oops I can't get the terminology right. LOL 😆 😆

That's it then...

Taali 💙
