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!

@Glisten it's my sensory box. The things in this box can help ground me when my mind needs a distraction.

@Spirit_Healer isn’t that amazing. I don’t like touching synthetic material. Puts my teeth on edge.

@Spirit_Healer sooo cute. Hope you're doing ok.

I have a massive sensory box, it's overflowing lol. I can't go out or to an appointment without bringing something or another from it.

Waaa just as I wrote that I am in the car with my support worker. My sensory squishy ball just exploded all over me 😞 it was so slimy and disgusting, I can't deal. I also feel bad for my support worker coz there are jelly balls all over me and the floor. ......

Thanks for sharing @Spirit_Healer !

I'm guessing work can be a good distraction in that you can do something that is rewarding for you.

Thanks for the photos! Hope Marta doesn't get too used to your lap or it will be hard for you to leave her!

@tyme , that photo was of Marta's 'good side'.

Not long after I shared that, it was bedtime, which involved me chasing Marta around the unit, up the bookshelf, and then finally extracting her from under my coffee table. All so that I could put her in the laundry, so that I could have the heat from the living room heater reach my bedroom, and not have her walking up and down my bed, keeping me awake!

@tyme , I have a question:

How do you cope with living alone?

I started renting my unit to give myself space from my parents. I've decided not to share house because I want more freedom and privacy. These evenings, I've been having dinner with my parents at their home, and then coming back to my unit afterwards. My parents and their house hold some traumatic memories for me. And yet, it's like I keep running back to them for company. I feel so conflicted. And they keep suggesting I move back in with them.

I'm hoping that, once I start work again, the social interaction will help me feel less lonely. I really hope so!
