Hiatus
George Atkinson - February 16, 2012

Hello friends, Even though this label has had its problems with blogging about subjects unrelated to music, I feel as if I need to make people aware of my situation.My obsessive behaviour and relentless compulsive thinking has helped me with my creative process over the years, but  it has also sparked problems in my social and real life. A few years ago I started having “non epileptic attack disorder”, in which I would have seizures on a regular basis. Recently, the seizures have been replaced with crippling anxiety and panic attacks, which I’m not thrilled about.Two days ago I had an experience akin to something of a heart attack. After being taken to A&E me and my close ones deduced that it was simply an anxiety atttack. It sounds rather simple
but it’s the fact that I could indeed be doing nothing at all to provoke any type of anxiety or panic, as easily as flipping a switch.

I’m believed to have “Generalised Anxiety Disorder” and for the moment I’m struggling. Some of you may have noticed my absence from the Internet. I’m planning to lay low from the Internet and start thinking about recovery.

With regards to Breakbit Music and all of it’s affiliates.. the artists have been some of the greatest influences in my life. I’ve made it quite public how I feel about the great talented artists and friends that I have across this community. I hope I’ve done what I set out to do originally,  which was to bring Breakbit to a  point where it could have longevity and continue to entertain it’s fans.

As of next week, I will be planning to making sure that there will be new and exciting releases and events on Breakbit between March and April. When March comes, I’ll go into a personal hiatus from both Breakbit and almost all other creative responsibilities I have, until May.

It saddens me to say that can’t get myself to make films, music or any other creative endeavour at this current time. I will still try to film my Doctor Who fan-film project in March, but because of my condition I now fear for the quality of the project, but that might just be my anxiety talking. My other main project, “Dayvan” may also suffer from this, which I’ve been trying to get off the ground for a really long time now.

I do intend to make a significant improvement,  if not a full recovery until May or June. At that time the sequel to BitMania will become my main priority.

Please don’t despair for my sake.. this community is often in my thoughts and keeps me positive through this difficult time. Sometimes the sheer thought of all the friends I have in the Breakbit  community and the fun that we’ve had together is enough to help. Thank you all for your support.
I wish all the artists and fans good luck and hopefully speak to you all soon!

Much love, George

P.S. I’ve left certain new artists slightly in limbo. I will be attempting to resolve throughout next week.
