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 can see you would've had to do a lot of parenting @Spirit_Healer . I guess it shows your maturity too.

Hello @Shaz51 @tyme ,

I was finally granted unaccompanied leave last week, so I have been enjoying getting around independently. Yesterday, I went to church by public transport. It took an hour either way, but it was well worth it, the sermon was so good. Our pastor is always so insightful and instils a message of hope into every sermon.

And...I'm finally getting discharged tomorrow. I have an outpatient appointment on Thursday, and already hinted during today's consult that I would like an extra week of sick leave, on top of the one week that my current medical certificate has, before I go back to work. I really need to settle into my home routine, and I also have my goal: to cook my first hot meal at my new rental. In my mind, it has turned into this massive hurdle. I know I can do it. I just need to do it to prove my ability to myself.

I miss my cat and it will be great to have her around again.

I also miss my colleagues and the young people I work with.

It's been over three months since I took my first sick leave from work. Only in the last three nights has my sleep returned to normal. And it is a medicated sleep. The sleeplessness has caught up with me and I have to nap during the day at the moment.

My hypomania has finally abated. I feel more in control. My anxiety has largely abated, too.

Here's hoping this third admission since November is the last for a while.

I just want to be a functional human being.

@Spirit_Healer I'm so glad to hear that things are going better for you.

@Spirit_Healer

It sounds like a lot of things are starting to really come together in a very positive way. I'm sure that first hot meal will be one of the best meals you've had in ages! Even if just for what it means. They say third time is the charm, so lets just assume that it applies here.

a nice hot meal at the new rental sounds lovely, what are you planning on cooking up? @Spirit_Healer

Thank you, @rav3n @MJG017 @Former-Member for your support.

My psychologist suggested I start small, so I'm planning to make myself a toasted sandwich.

I'm looking forward to my freedom today!

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

@Spirit_Healer you got this ❤️.

Toasted sandwiches are yummy, do you know what you will have on it? I love having ones with ham, tomato and cheese ☺️.

You have come so far and we are all very proud of you ♥️
