It would be absolutely standard Yank behaviour to come back after a prolonged absence with:
“Like yeah guys, so confessional here… I’ve been struggling with mental health issues, so I took a time out because really the likes of Dave and Dermo aren’t helping” and then everyone turns round and goes “Yeah, men’s mental health is a serious issue, we have to get rid of the sheer toxicity in your thread about English cuisine, Dave and Dermo two week ban each”.
