    It's been a wild ride, and I'm not ready to get off just yet. Even if my condition wants me to sell everything good in my life. I just can't do it. I love this place, and I love my setup.

    Please be gentle with me, I'm so sorry guys.

    Thank you all for your kindness, support and well, if confused by my actions, wishes via PM. You guys really are the best, and if you'll still have me, I'd love to stay here.

    Music is one of the only thing that helps, to be honest. So while I do feel bad for putting up my stuff via that shitty FS ad, please know that I wouldn't have ever done it in my right mind, and that music and the gear that allows me to hear its fullest expression are more than just a passion for me, but an absolute need, just like I'm sure it is for a lot of us here.

    Also, a member asked me via PM if I am @dematted, I promise you, I am not. When I joined that guy was banned already and I have no idea who he is or why he was banned.

    OK, looks like he purged his gear a few times like I tried to do, and held onto a loaner longer than he should have... Mods—please BAN ME if you have any suspicion or overt complaint that I am holding onto gear too long. It will get back to the person who either owns it or the next on the loaner list.

    I am careful with other people's gear, more so than my own. But if there is any trouble, please just like i said—ban me—and I will send it back to the person who it belongs to/should go to. I don't want you guys to worry about me like that, that goes against what I love most about this place: generous trust.

    It's all good @caute. We are all dealing with our own stuff and understand. Take care of yourself.

    thank you for being honest about your life and who you are and know that you will never be judged by me for any health condition. You are welcome here especially since music and beautiful sound help you so much. I'm more worried about you and your health than anything you posted here. I think I can speak for everyone when I say we all understand.

    Echoing others above: being honest with yourself is a big step. May you find peace in your own way and time.

    Besides, if everyone that had near-immediate second thoughts and pulled a for-sale ad was banned, there’d only be like six people left here.

    Love having you here, don’t ever feel embarrassed by having a medical condition. Hell, I just slept with a CPAP last night and had my first good night’s sleep in years. We all have our things and we’re all human.

    Take care. Do everything one step at the time. Try to enjoy every moment. The problem with the bi-polar "dis-order" is that when a person has bad moments; things go from bad to worse quickly. (Personal experience with family.)

    Also, for your FYI, @dematted ghosted us with a loaner and never showed his face again, IIRC. I feel bad for the SBAF members that had to manage that.

    Be kind to yourself. Speaking from experience, as long as you’re not going broke from it, your gear and your music are always part of making life feel worth living.
