~ 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!

How are you today? Are you doing better than before? i hope so. i'm feeling very happy for i worked through some really hard issues while unwell and came out on top, although still unwell. That doesn't happen very often to me. i hope your day will bring some hope in you your way.

@Taali I knew someone once I could only take in small doses and come home again. Its hard when we are torn between a sense of duty and not really wanting to be there. People who are challenging can really tug at our energy especially if you dont have enough energy reserves for yourself. I have strategies for dealing with difficult people now to protect my energy

Morning @Taali How are you this rainy morning? Got any plans today? I didn't leave the unit at all yesterday, which is very unusual for me, so am up and dressed waiting for the supermarket to open at 7am to get a few things. I'm also giving a wake up call to a friend at 5.40am. That's the total of my plans today!! 😆 I wonder if anything else will eventuate. No sunrise or walk as it's still raining. 💚

Good morning ladies how are we both today, apart of up early then? i hope some of you got some sleep. We seem to up always at the same times. 3am for me night so i got at least 5 1/2 maybe even more. Not sure what time i crashed last night.

.

Wishing you three a blessed day.

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

A rainy day? It's going to be 32°.here in Kaurna Country.

So I really must get my butt outside!

@heartathome I'm sure something will eventuate for you today!

A wake up call 📞? Your friend's lucky to have a personal assistant.

I live a 5 minute walk from Coles open 24/7 so no waiting for me hehehe 😆

But I really must get out of my PJs

I'm catching up with a couple of old friends today and am feeling quite anxious about that..

I be cray cray 😜 🤪

I'm sure it'll be okay, but it is the 2nd time only that I have ventured out socially since my last psychiastric hospital admission.

That's if you don't count my sister, my wayward niece (do hospital visits count?) and my mental health support worker. I've become quite dependent on her, which is a little concern for me. She's really lovely but I wonder how I'll cope when I no longer qualify to access her service.

Oh well, wish me luck! It's just a coffee DEEEERRRR ☕️

Be well dear friend 🧡 @Taali
