On Hiatus
Added 2019-06-29 17:13:03 +0000 UTCHello! I'm going on a mental health vacation for a few weeks. When will I start making videos again? I don't know, but not until I'm good and ready. What's going on? You may have noticed I've already been quite absent lately. I'm on anti-depressants now, and I just need some time to get back to normal.
In addition, I'll be changing my Patreon model from monthly to a 'per creation' basis after the first of next month. I've simply been too absent to charge you all every month. In the future, I'll only charge during the months where I put out a video. More announcements to follow eventually.
EDIT: I can't change Patreon to per creation, unfortunately. I made an assumption that was incorrect.
Cheers!

Robert, I just wanted to let you know you're not alone. This summer has been a particularly bad one for me with depression, anxiety, and panic attacks. Having been through this before, I know they'll pass, but it doesn't make it any easier when you're going through it. I take a bit of medication for it, and I'm back to weekly sessions with my therapist. No matter how many times I've watched them, your videos give me a lift and a laugh on days that are otherwise pretty dark. Hang in there, and when you're ready to entertain us again, we'll all be here for you.

2019-07-01 20:06:07 +0000 UTCRobert, i've been a fan of your channel for a while and have just signed up for Patreon after seeing this, so I can support you a little. I know money doesn't improve mental health, but if a few more of us pledge a dollar here and there it's certainly going to make things more comfortable. Enjoy your break, and remember - quality not quantity. We're all happy to wait. H x

I can relate somewhat, having known a couple of people with long-term depression and it's often not taken seriously (people mistake it for meaning 'a bit sad'). I don't know about your own circumstances but switching to YouTube full time must've been difficult, Brian from Regular Car Reviews has said a few times it gets quite lonely not having people to work with, but you find ways to fix that. Anyway, as others have said, we'd rather you were happy than churning out videos (you've made enough great ones to keep everyone going in the meantime), so take it easy :)
