, and in the letter he explains how making the film helped him come to a realisation about his own mental state. "The whole purpose of making this film is to give therapy and the tools I’ve learned in therapy to a wide audience for private use through an entertaining film," he wrote."Through this journey of self-discovery within the film, I have come to the understanding that I have spent nearly 20 years experiencing anxiety attacks, which are exacerbated by media appearances and public facing events.
"If I made myself sicker by going out there and promoting it, I wouldn’t be acting true to myself or to the film," he said, adding:"I understand that I am of the privileged few who can afford to take time off. I won’t lose my job while working on my anxiety... I’m hoping to make it more normal for people to talk and act on this stuff. So they can take steps towards feeling better and so that the people in their lives might understand their issues more clearly.
