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!

Well done @Spirit_Healer

I'm doing a bit of casual work at the moment at least 8hr shift and I'm pretty tired when I get home. However, it has given me a sense of usefulness so it's good from that aspect.

Hope you continue to improve.

I have a dog who I feel sorry for, when I leave for the day and he is waiting for me when I get home

@Jynx I got into street latin and swing dancing when I went interstate for uni. I've kept up my salsa and bachata on and off since my return to my hometown here.

I find that I enjoy the dances more when I let go of tension and just move with my partner and the music. Sometimes, it's easier to follow a lead if I close my eyes when I'm in closed hold. It's easier to move when I stop worrying about what my partner and other spectators think and just enjoy the moment.

I've been dancing for thirteen years, and there's still much more to master!

@Spirit_Healer dance is an amazing way to fall into flow, into the moment! Love that for us both 😊

Latin dance is so impressive, and have so much zest to it! Adore 😍

Yes, @tyme . I did it last week and feel more ready to do it again.

At church now waiting for the service to begin.

Thanks for letting me know. Have a well- earned break, hear from you when you return!

Hello @MissGremlin @Till23 @Jynx @Shaz51 !

So it turns out there was a mix up with communication about my time fraction and they were overloading me last week. They made up for it this week with a very light timetable of classes. I only got told this on Thursday, so I was confused for a few days! And no wonder the second week back was so full on.

Anyway, the main thing is I continue to survive my workload.

I'm still figuring out how to fit exercise classes into my day. Last week one class left me so sore for the next three days. I went back to that class this week and I'm not really sore this time. So that means I'm getting stronger. I'm really happy about that! I've booked into another class this morning, will leave home soon.

How are you all?

@MissGremlin , I read that things have been a challenge recently. I've been thinking of you!

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Hello @Spirit_Healer.

Oh no, that definitely would have made for a confusing time. But you still survived it so well done, super proud of you.

That whole time management can be tricky to navigate and fit everything in. Glad you took a bit of time to recover, it takes our bodies time to get used to exercise if we haven't done it for a while. Good on you for getting back to it this week and I'm glad you're not as sore. Hope you enjoy the class today.

Thankyou for thinking of me, things are definitely rough for me. Just taking things minute by minute.

Anyway as always you are doing amazing, keep smashing those goals. Sending you lots of love and hugs ❤️

@Spirit_Healer oh niiiice I love that feeling when you notice getting stronger in your body!! I've missed a few workouts recently and BOY is it noticable how quickly I slip backwards!! Consistency is key, eh?

Hope you're having a chillaxing Monday 😊
