~ 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 ~

A little reminder for anyone who needs it today…

Sometimes being strong means admitting that you're struggling. It means allowing yourself to feel the things you've been trying so hard to hide. It means reaching out when life feels too heavy to carry alone and giving yourself permission to rest when you're exhausted.

You don't have to have it all together all the time, you don't have to be the strong one every single day and you certainly don't have to face every battle in silence.

There is no shame in asking for help, there is no weakness in having difficult days, feeling overwhelmed, or not knowing what comes next.

You can be scared and still be brave, you can be hurting and still be healing, you can feel lost and still be finding your way.

Remember progress doesn't always look like moving forward with confidence. Sometimes it's simply getting out of bed, taking one more breath, asking someone to sit beside you or choosing to try again tomorrow.

So please be gentle with yourself, give yourself the same love, patience, and understanding that you so freely give to others.

You are allowed to be a work in progress, you are allowed to have bad days, you are allowed to need someone.

And no matter what you're going through right now, please remember this, you don't have to be ok every day to be worthy of love, support, and kindness.

One step at a time, one breath at a time, one day at a time.

You're doing better than you think and you don't have to do it all alone ❤️.
