Hey SANE community,

If we haven't yet interacted here, I'm Spirit_Healer!

I have made many friends along my journey here so far:

@tyme @Oaktree @Shaz51 @BPDSurvivor @creative_writer @The-red-centaur @rav3n @Ru-bee @Jynx @PeppyPatti @MJG017 @Healandlove @Blackcloud @Glisten @Former-Member @Clawde @ArraDreaming

And I'd love to get to know anyone else here, too!

@tyme suggested I make my own thread here, so that my posts don't get lost in the Best Friends Club thread.

You can also find parts of my story here:

Disclosing to a romantic partner

Cluster B Brother

This evening, my ex is about to call me. I haven't spoken properly to him since 11 November 2024, because he ghosted me for 8 weeks from 14 November until early January 2025. Then he met me at a salsa and bachata dance event, said "good to see you" and "did you receive my message?". The second time he said "good to see you" he disappeared. That was half an hour into the salsa social.

I just played another hour or so on the piano, sentimental and romantic pieces by Yiruma, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Chopin and Yanns Tiersen. I even had an audience of two fellow patients in the hospital at one point, before they took their night meds and went to bed. She reassured me that I could continue to play, because she would sleep through my playing.

I'd better get off now, to prepare for the phone call.

Fingers crossed we're both thinking openly, respectfully and clearly.

Afterwards, I'll take my night meds, hit the shower and then hop into bed.

Good night, and thank you, SANE community, in advance for your support!

@Spirit_Healer , are you back at work?

I hope you are okay. Haven't heard from you in a while.

Thanks @tyme for the check-in.

I'm hoping to be back at work in two weeks.

This discussion with my employer has been a headache. They're demanding to know information about my health that I'm not willing to disclose. My boss had reassured me the process wouldn't be invasive, and yet I've learnt how extremely it is!

Also, this stress maybe contributing to how I've been recently... I've been struggling a lot the last few days with suspected PMDD and Endometriosis pain. Not fun at all! Feeling very 'yuck' and under the weather.

Oh no. @Spirit_Healer . I'm so so sorry to hear it's been so challenging.

Just say you move to another workplace, do you still have to go through this process?

Are you with the union? I wonder if they can provide advice about what you have to or don't have to say?

In response to: Re: Send 'smooth-sailing' sentiments to Spirit_Healer!

Re: Send 'smooth-sailing' sentiments to Spirit_Healer!

I'm working for the government, @tyme . If I stay within the system, I think I would still be asked these questions.

The union has been little help. I've resorted to getting more reliable advice. I don't want to go into the details. Be reassured, I'm getting help for this.

Thank you for thinking of me, @tyme, I really appreciate it! It's nice to be reminded that, despite us all being anonymous, people do care.

Absolutely you don't have to go into anything you don't feel comfortable with @Spirit_Healer

I'm glad you are able to advocate for yourself, and good you can stand your ground!

We all definitely care.
