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!

How are you going @Spirit_Healer ? Sorry, I've been away, so I haven't said hello in a long time.

What are you up to in the school holidays? Much? Hope you are well.

Hello @tyme , thanks for the message. How was your break?

I've been making the most of mine, enjoying the time with my parents and not having to think much about work.

I've been doing some trips to the city, helping with a little house painting and catching up on mending my clothes.

I've been back on the dating apps, too. I've been quite frustrated when I've matched with someone and he hasn't replied. This has happened a lot. It's making me feel like I'm the 'less attractive option' and the apps are designed in a way to make users feel like there are so many 'options' out there. I'm trying to be more patient and keep persisting.

I saw my psychiatrist yesterday. We talked about a plan to change my medication in a few months down the track. I was left confused by the plan and didn't ask the right clarifying questions during the appointment. I will need to write these down for next time. She wants to add another medication and keep the other two at therapeutic levels and I don't understand the rationale. We were going to taper down on one of them.

I look at the calendar and see my holidays ticking away. I feel sad that they will end soon, but I'm relieved that I'm in a better headspace than this time last year. I am optimistic about my year at work and just need to keep doing all the healthy things to keep myself well.

@MissGremlin @Shaz51 , how are you both?

Thank you for your support!

Great to hear from you @Spirit_Healer . I'm glad you've had a quieter time these holidays. Honestly, having been with you along this journey, you have some so so far. It's such a privilege to witness your journey.

And yes, you are definitely in a much better headspace now!

All the the best with dating. I hear your frustrations. Can be so frustrating not to hear back. Please look after yourself.
