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!

I got big, enthusiastic hugs from two colleagues who I bumped into for the first time today since I took leave.

And it seems that more people noticed my absence than I thought would. Two more colleagues said 'welcome back'.

Woohoo @Spirit_Healer ! Congrats! Well done on making it through work!

How are you feeling? Did you only have 3 days this week?

I'm still only at the beginning of the book, Feel the fear.

Hello, @tyme !

Yes, it was a three day week for me. Thank goodness: I'm already tired today and ready for the weekend.

I saw my psychiatrist yesterday and it went well. He was in a good mood. And he told me I'm doing well and I should be proud, he's proud of me.

I'm planning to return to dancing tomorrow night. I've been holding out for it since my last discharge from hospital, which can you believe it?: was two months ago today.

'Feel the fear' is a great book, very dense with information. Taking your time is the best way with this book. And attempting the exercises gives it more meaning, too. I showed you photos of how I decorated my unit when I moved in a few months ago: most of the quotes on my posters come from that book. Seeing these quotes every day has helped me with self-acceptance, self-compassion and non-judgement. Let me know how you go!

@Spirit_Healer sorry i didn't reply to you sooner sweet, things have been a bit all over the place for me.

Well done on making it through your week being back at work, so proud of you. I can imagine you would be exhausted, going to take some time to get back into routine but you've got this ❤️.

I hope you enjoy dancing. Wow 2 months already, look how far you have come in that time, you are truly incredible 😊

Sending you big hugs, keep smashing those goals ❤️
