~ 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 ~

@Cuddlebear I’m sorry you’re having to manage so much without that safe person beside you, especially when your dear friend is struggling too. You deserve support and connection as much as anyone else, and you don’t have to solve everything for your friend while you’re trying to get through things yourself. If having someone physically with you feels important right now, could you contact your GP or a local support service to explore what help might be available? I’m glad you reached out here, and I hope today feels a little less lonely 💛

Hugs @Cuddlebear Thiinking of you and your friend.

Yes, often we find ourselves in social environments, where it is not just 'us' that are struggling. It is often socioeconomic, which means there are less resources all round, human and material.

@MissGremlin Still loving your pics and your dedication to this thread. Yes, the balance in being vulnerable and giving support is a delicate art.

I find I am having more days when my feelings are in full activation. All my chakras swirling. Not sure how to interpret my feelings.

Heyho @Taali Had a really bad night on the weekend re sleep. Its one of those essentials. Huh!

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

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

Yep, sleep deprivation is a b!tch alright!

@Appleblossom

What have you tried to help so far?

I personally have exhausted all my options for getting some 💤💤 to no avail!

Sorry I can't be of help, but I certainly sympathise.

Taali 💜
