~ 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 ~

Hello @Cuddlebear my sweet, I'm still struggling so much. Coming off the medication is giving me withdrawal symptoms. I slept alot last night and this morning but I don't feel rested, I still feel completely exhausted.

I'm about to head to the shops which I'm dreading cos yesterday I left without even going in cos I couldn't find a car park. I don't like how they are so busy now.

How are you going sweet?

Love and hugs to you beautiful ❤️

@MissGremlin Hello sweet it’s so very good to hear from you.

The shops are unbelievable and I’ve been unable to even go alone I’ve had to have someone with me. It’s just awful you couldn’t even get a spot to park yesterday. I hope you can today and can get in and out as quickly as you need to.

I can understand getting sleep but feeling exhausted. I’m just really wanting you to find some relief and be able to recover. Having to trial different medicines is very hard and I’m proud of you for doing this and acknowledge the strength it takes. Is there anything that gives you a little relief? Personally I’m struggling to find anything and it sounds like you are alone a lot with beautiful Caspar.

I was reading how people need solid supportive humans. I get that but many of us don’t have that in our lives. We are lucky we have our fur babies.

Im feeling much the same. I don’t really have supporys though I’ve tried hard to get some. The biggest support are the SANE forums here. My depression, anxiety and CPTSD are all flaring. I’m also dizzy and have so much fatigue. Feeling so lonely and isolated.

Im hoping that we both and others here struggling can get to a better place in feeling some relief soon.

@Cuddlebear glad you enjoyed them!

I'm okay, I've got a house inspection looming which tends to put me in a bit of a stressy mode 😅 Gonna have to recruit some help methinks!

How is everything going for you hun, I am reading that it's still pretty hectic with the physical and physiological symptoms?

Sending you some hugs, and some for you as well @MissGremlin 💜

@Cuddlebear thankfully it was quieter at the shops today. I have noone to go with so have no choice but to go alone.

Trialing different medications is taking such a toll and I'm not sure if I really want to anymore, not without having proper support for if things go wrong. I'm in the same position and finding that I'm not getting any relief from anything.

Yeah all I have is Casper and people online that I talk to which yes it's nice but it's not the same as having people in real life.

I hear you sweet, it's like everything falls apart all at once and you can't pick up the pieces quick enough. I'm here for you my sweet and I'm so grateful to be able to talk to you here. You are such a beautiful person and I care so much about you ❤️
