~ 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 i'm sorry to hear that. i hope your day will pick up a little. How is the weather where you are? Here it is overcast an mucky, not my type of weather. However my mood has been excellent the last few days. i slept 5 hours in one sleep last night, so i reckon that helps as well.

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

@DownMoreThanUp thankyou, I'm hoping it does too. The weather is lovely here today, it's nice and cool but after today it's going to be heating up again. Ugh i hate that type of weather and it takes so much out of you. Glad to hear your mood has been excellent, no doubt the sleep would have helped there.

What's on for you today?

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

@MissGremlin To be honest i have nothing planned for today apart of making our yoghurt, food for the dogs this week, and wash them.

i have been so unwell lately have not been planning any days but simply see what i'm like. However things have been looking up lately.

In reality there is tons to be done. So many jobs my wife would like to see done i have not been able to do. However they are more like projects than little chores.

@Cuddlebear let me know if you'd like to chat over your feeling/thoughts of guilt. I know people can often be really harsh on themselves and sometimes an outsider perspective can help be the light to shed on harsh thoughts. 🤗 in case it helps, nothing i have seen you mention gives me any sense of things you are "guilty" of. I can imagine a few reasons that i might unreasonably be harsh on myself for feeling guilt if i were in your shoes (and sort of in my own situation for next year also have been making sure to keep any feelings of guilt in check because i know they are not things i should feel guilt over). You are not guilty for thing you have no control over.

@MissGremlin i can relate to all 3 of the pics. I do like weird messy me 😋.

Got to run - end of lunch break.

Take care everyone, be gentle when times are tough and self-compassion is my wish for you all. @DownMoreThanUp @MissGremlin @Cuddlebear

Apologies for the lateness of these today, it's not been a great day for me (I'm safe).
