~ 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!

@Flutterbug9 No worries ❤️ I’m glad to hear that you’re now comfortable in being back in the forums if I’m getting it correctly 🙂 yes, I did see that post earlier today, and it’s totally understandable how that one word made you feel the way you felt in that moment due to it bringing back certain memories and flashbacks, and you were valid for feeling that way ❤️ hugs for you again xx 🫂 I hope the rest of your evening is going well

Hi @Flutterbug9

@Jynx @Blackcloud @Dreamy @Cuddlebear @heartathome @Bunniekins @AlwaysMyself @Meowmy @PeppyPatti @Chasingsunsets @tyme @rav3n @Captain24 @AuntGlow @Shaz51 and everyone here. Happy Saturday!

@Flutterbug9 I’m glad you’re home from hospital. Take it easy! Also, thanks for sharing the images. They’re very interesting and inspiring!

Today, I’ve dipped into my tool shed and utilised my 4mm crochet hook and wool as my power tools for my mental health issues and I’m very pleased to say they’ve worked out well for me and helped me immensely. I was able to channel my energy into creating something that is useful as well as being creative and productive for me and distract me from what was annoying me and causing me distress. A good outcome for me and one that I’m very proud of.

Take care.

@heartathome the image of the matches and quote saying the power is stepping away, is very powerful.

Thanks for sharing 😊
