I allowed my work load to exceed my capabilities.

I have been working well beyond reasonable for a long time and it was just a matter of time before something broke and that happened on Friday at 5:00am I felt something break inside me, my partner says I was babbling on in bed like a mad man, it sounds hilarious but the reality was confirmed to me today by a Doctor that I have suffered a nervous breakdown.
This has really annoyed me as I could see it coming as far back as a year ago and I did nothing to prevent it and now am in a mess. I can't cope with anything at all, my brain is just a fog and my body feels all over the place, panic attacks, pains, erratic thoughts it's not good.
I have had some sleep since coming back from the Docs, I feel exhausted all the time and at this moment I feel much better, I think it's due to visiting the Doc and knowing that there is help happening. He referred me to the mental health department, Rabbit is already making a straight jacket.
I have been ordered to keep away from anything bad or negative, I am going to have to be careful over the coming months about workload and the things I review. I am still going to review games as I get pleasure from doing that and streaming will also be good for me as I get great pleasure from that too. I will be keeping all my comments disabled on Youtube until I am feeling better, it's not the ideal solution but I really can't be bothered with the haters at this time.
I have learnt a valuable lesson here, it's not worth it, busting a gut month after month, worrying about the future, scrambling to get the reviews out for launch, fuck it, never again, I would not wish this on anyone, time for a new Mack, a sensible one.
Cheers

Hear, hear. I never buy games on launch anymore! You've taught me well. I'll happily just wait until you have time to review a game. I have lots of slimes to ranch to keep me occupied in the meantime.
Telling someone to "man up" following something like what Mack has just suffered is deplorable. You should be ashamed of yourself. You clearly have no interest in Mack's well-being, despite him bringing you hours upon hours of exceptional content at zero cost to you. He deserves a break to recover, and rather than ridicule him you should continue to support him through this difficult time. He undoubtedly will return, but only when he is good and ready. Be patient.
We don't need your reviews on launch day - they're worth the wait. Hell, let all the sellout reviews come in first, and then give us the real deal a month or two later with yours. I honestly don't really trust anyone else and I'm in no rush to buy games as soon as they launch anyway. I'd rather save money and wait on an honest WAB than have IGN convince me that it's a solid 8/9 :)
I gave a quid out of respect because you do good reviews that's fucking class. But it is not good for the channel to do this. You are a grown man who probably has had kids, and mental health issues should not come from internet comments. Hopefully you man up and embrace the hate rather then shy from it. Stock up on some fucking antidepressants if you have to but get the fucking channel up man.
