Hey Guys, Gals, and fellow knuckleheads.

This is my first post here I’m quite some time… my wife and I were in the middle of adoption and that was nearly 7-8 years ago now when I posted last.

Life gets busy and then out of the blue I find myself struggling with anxiety and depression. While facing those mental challenges my close friend ended up ending his own life. I checked out from a lot of things. Hung up the guitar and involvement in music and searched for peace.
Sold off almost all my gear - kept my silhouette special in mint green my wife bought be for an engagement gift. Just a few minutes ago I finished playing it and first time in over 2 years I picked up a guitar more than just to move it.

Anywho wanted to reintroduce myself to the new guys and gals and let the OGs know I’m fighting my way back and hope to be around more.

Wanting to pick up an EVH or EX here soon. Anyone know how well they pair with a dumble circuit.

I'm likely new since you were last here -- joined during the pandemic sometime around when I got my first EBMM in 2020 (I think).

Sorry things have been rough but glad to meet you and glad you're back!

Welcome back, Peter. We all missed you. Depression is a bitch -- glad you're gravitating back to something that I have always found sorts me out when I'm not doing well. We're all here for you. Come back to the obsession. If you need anything, please reach out or DM me.

I appreciate the warm welcome guys

For those of you reading this and struggling

It’s ok to ask for help… it’s ok to talk about feelings and it’s ok to not know all the answers. But find someone… who will listen and help ya find the center and peace.
