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
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!

@Spirit_Healer thank you for tagging me. You are my friend too 🤎🩷❤️. I hope the phone call went well and you can add it to the list of things that help your healing.
How beautiful that you can play the piano! You may not think it but I'm sure you made the patients that appreciated your playing happy. That's the power of music. And such a wonderful way to channel emotions. In my mind I can hear you playing those beautiful pieces.
Rest well my friend. Whatever happened in this phone call let it be a place where you can pivot to feeling empowered and in control.
Thinking of you.
Hugs 🫂🫂🫂🥰
