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

Rueben, I’m moved by how candid you’ve been with your own state of vulnerability. It’s takes balls to be so open about something so personal and emotional. It shows incredible mettle on your part and trust in our community. Get well friend. Many of us here have tons of admiration for you.

Sending you love, prayers, and good energy. I’m proud of you, my dude.

Sending love from Colorado <3)) ) ) )

Love you, man! I completely empathize, and I'm glad you're getting the help you need. Hugs n' Nordic tugs

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.

I don't post too much.
But you are one of the reasons I like this place a lot…
Get well Reuben! -
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.

Be well. Thanks for making this a fun and useful place.

Take as much time as you need Rueben–-your health is the main thing

Best of luck Neph you will get there

Sorry to hear this Reuben, but confident you will be back feeling well. You are a big part of why I stuck around in this forum…it feels good to participate in a group where nice people such as you set the tone.

Feel better soon was so great to meet you in Southsea and I look forward to seeing you again at the next IH party
