~ 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 ~

Faults on both sides with previous psychologist. No goal setting, no involving me in plans by psychologist, lots of assumptions made by psychologist. Was 12mths + with her before I started advocating for myself @Chasingsunsets

I didn’t feel comfortable explaining things to her verbally so typed her a letter and handed to her in person approx 12mths ago. Things improved after that until few months ago. The last appointment with her I had completed a set of questions (writing down my answers, thoughts etc) to each one, her words and tone left me feeling everything I had done with my answers were wrong and not good enough

I wasn’t feeling too bad this morning.

made initial enquiry about having alfresco area made secure so cats can be in the area.

phone call from gp practice has undone all that.

headache, tears, panic attack

trying to chase up reason why referral to psychiatrist has been rejected.

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

Outcome of infusion is going really well. Occasional stab of pain in my back. Apart from that there is no pain plus I’m not stooping forward now.

new psychologist seems very nice. Very different approach to the one I have been seeing.

referral to psychiatrist that was done at start of the week has been rejected. All staff at gp office can tell me is referral has been rejected as service not provided at firm referral sent to. Only way to contact that firm is via email. Trying to deal with panic attack and headache. I have sent enquiry email. I’m wondering if referral rejected as gp wrote psychology not psychiatry

Oh @Flutterbug9 sweet, I'm sorry to hear that the phone call from the gp practice has undone that.

You are not alone, we are here with you. Sending you gentle hugs ❤️
