Neph out of action again… and for a bit longer this time.

[Shelby999]

Well, you sure hide it well.
I, too, am addicted to IH, so have read your many posts - your red bandana'd head shots are almost synonymous with IH, accordingly.
Always considered, knowledgeable, measured and articulately delivered.
Your output rivals Mr. Haraki's.
I remember one post in particular resonating, where a newby posited something along the lines of being amazed at the high and consistent quality of IH and how it may be all any one needs to buy. I remember your reserved reply in the affirmative. That turned me, I think, for good. There are only a few others that I have a few pieces of that compare - Real McCoys and a couple of other small Japanese houses; also leather, which Mr Haraki does not create.

And, having renovated my share of houses, I lived vicariously through your chronicled effort - again, I can't believe that you had the capacity to share that. That was a full effort, and I know how it is. Heritage designated abodes…I think that mayhaps that was overload.
It was for me. So I stopped it.
You will recover.
You are too level-headed to fail.
See you on the other side, man.

Words are hard to find for the thoughts that I have…

I am proud of my friend and brother for seeking the help that he needs and applaud him for sharing with us.  Sometimes you realize that you can’t tough things out and we all need help and support from time to time.

I am proud of my family, you the regulars of this forum, for sharing that love and support that he needs.  Mental health is not an easy fix or a topic easily discussed.  Your warmth and caring is the reason why he, I, and so many others frequent this great place.

Thank you for being a friend and a brother Reuben!  Take care, time, and rest to find that stability to someday join us and I look forward to seeing you again.

Sorry to hear that, R, but I'm extremely happy to see that you're getting help, and that your government provides it!

Good luck, buddy!

Best of luck to you Reuben, @neph93 , I will miss you on here but I realize it's for the better. Most importantly, take good care of yourself, and it seems like you are on the right road.
