~ 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!

@MissGremlin

So true, kindness as well as compassion i find that i can be inclined to make thing hard for myself in particular depression. And love, kindness and compassion are very important fighting those negative thoughts and feelings pounding.

i had a real goers day today. i had legal aid on the line and was approved a lawyer. Then got approved for home care, and an assessment appointment was done. Best of all we worked out an alternative plan with regards to the house that suits both me and my wife, which apart of legal advise on how to organise this best, should keep me at home and retain it with 67 percent of the property title becoming mine, while my wife will have her super and our savings to make a down payment by December on building a new home in the same village our down syndrome daughter has her house, while retaining a 33 percent stake in our property value wise.

This way i will keep the house and the caravan and have no further pressure on me to move out, and my wife can do her thing too, while my caravan option is still also available.

My mind is twirling and i'm, sure feel activated, but also pleased we might be able to come to agreement both of can be happy with and help us move on.
