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!

Morning @Spirit_Healer, glad that the psychiatrist has reduced that medication and that you have woken up feeling more energised today. Remember there's nothing wrong with needing a nap though, when we have been or are going through alot it's good to let our bodies rest 😊.

Hope the toastie making goes well, I'm sure it will be yummy 😋.

The weather has definitely been more manageable, i love the cool change coming in earlier as the evening sets in.

Hope you have a wonderful day, keep up the amazing work. So proud of you ❤️

I'm a bit late to reply @Spirit_Healer

It's great that you feel more energised

What type of toastie did you have?

I'm glad it's not as hot as it has been where you are.

I need it to be sunny for a day or two here so I can get some washing dry!

Hello @MissGremlin @Till23 @creative_writer @rav3n @Appleblossom @Glisten!

I followed up my ham and cheese toastie yesterday with my first stove-cooked meal in my unit today:

Stir-fried choy sum and beef with steamed rice

Spirit-Healer's stove-cooked meal

It feels so good to be self-sufficient! And it wasn't so scary after all.

OMG yummmmm @Spirit_Healer looks amazing!! Kudos!! 😍

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

Good on you @Spirit_Healer

It looks yum.

Funny how things can seem more scary than they really are when you take action. I try and be forgiving and not set too high expectations. Haha. I had a piano teacher who had a motto…for parents that high expectations gets results… but I didn’t always find that to be true. Mostly I see it as paralysing people and getting in the way… tho sometimes… maybe… it works that way. Whatever! Enjoy your space, your cooking and your food.
