I’m sorry that I was unable to cover tonight’s Red Wings-Blue Jackets game.

I have been dealing with a bad attack of anxiety and depression, and it incapacitated me.

I’m still feeling unwell, and I know that the timing is inconvenient, but mental illness is a vicious foe, and I will get back to work as soon as my stupid brain chemistry lets me out of this painful moment.

Thank you for your readership and your time.
