A Movie Boy Delay & Apology

Hi gang,

So the Spin-off Doctors will be late again this time around. My recording equipment died on top of a lot of personal bullshit I'm dealing with.

On a personal note, sorry for not putting out as many videos as I'm sure you're used to, there are both personal and business reasons for that, which I'll get into on a State of Sterling, though to give you a vague heads up, your ol' Jim Sterling is experiencing mental health issues at the moment. Nothing too serious, nothing that won't pass, but my usually high functioning anxiety and mild depression are more extreme than that of late.

Thank you as always for your support and understanding, and I look forward to bringing you lovely new things to watch and hear ASAP.

Cheers,

Jim.

As both a fan of your work, and as someone who's wife suffers from depression, I hope you're weathering the storm as well as you can. A bit of 'me time' can help a lot, as well as a healthy dose of affection from friends, family or loved ones. Hope you're getting all you need.

Sorry to hear that you are having some troubles. No one should be above your own personal health, not your work, fans or supporters. As long as you are up front about it, no one can blame you for it, I know I definitely won't. Take it easy and we are with you buddy :)

As a fan let me tell you I have no problems with you producing less content and having to delay some content. Quality over quantity and neither at the expense of your health. All my love support goes out to you. If there’s anything your fan base can do to help be sure to lean on us.
