Where did you find the pig!



HERE'S A VERY SILLY SONG

To give this image and the blog title, for that matter, some context please read on

If like me you often have to have a bath in the middle of the night because it seems the only thing that can stop your restless fidgeting legs from letting you sleep then you may get something from this.



ABOUT THE BLOG

Hello, my name is James and if you one of the very few people who reads this thank you. To any newbies, potentially save yourself a handful of minutes that you might resent never getting back by reading this blurb.

I am a 45 year old married dad of three who struggles, to varying degrees, with my mental health. Sometimes it's okay and I don't feel overwhelmed and sometimes it isn't and I do.

The light at the end of my intrusive thought tunnel is that I have found that creative/masochistic outlets of writing a blog, uploading content to a youtube channel and learning  Brazilian Jui Jitsu seems to help.

Here is a link to a video I made, in attempt to help myself and hopefully others chill out. 

I hope this helps

The thumbnail below, that I created to represent a calming video if laughably ironic. The idea of me calmly standing in a boat, irrespective of the sunset, really doesn't make me feel in any way relaxed. I'm confident I'd be busy worrying about getting a parking ticket because it's slipped off the dashboard. Or that the car's hand break will fail and I'll have to watch a second hand C4 Picasso roll into a lake. 



Yeah so this week was a busy one on the whole "night bathing" front. I had 4 out of a possible 7 which is oddly high for this type of year. The summer months are usually a brighter time for me. That said my body is always the best gauge of where my head is at.

Eczema on eye lids and elbows....check! 

Feelings of mild desperation because my anti depressants seem to be having little effect, check!

A Brazilian Jui Jitsu class not being able to stop my infamous restless legs, usually unheard of, but annoyingly yes, sodding check, check!

 This week's Dadmission Impossible 

Apparently my restless leg issue is a problem with my nervous system and a lack of magnesium in my diet. I will therefore try adding magnesium to the daily text message request for milk, bread, fishing rods that I can't seem to avoid on my way home from work.


I hope wherever you are in the World you are okay.

James


ABOUT DADMISSION IMPOSSIBLE
Life is stressful, especially in 2021 and double especially, if you struggle with any type of mental illness. I struggle with OCD (Pure O) & intrusive thoughts. At best these thoughts are annoying at worst they're distressing and debilitating. Over the years I have found and developed several techniques to combat them. I've recently found that the creative outlet of writing blogs posts, parodies to famous songs, learning the ukulele and uploading content to a Youtube channel has really helped. Wherever you are in the World, I hope you're okay, thanks for stopping by. James
Still awake? Quick channel back story.... maybe not that quick.
April 2018 I decide I want to create a Youtube channel called "Middle Class Rapper." Quite possibly because one, maybe two, kind people laugh at a joke during my stand up set June 2020 Paul, a great guy I used to train Jui Jitsu with gives me some very honest advice on my channel and it's content. After a few weeks I stopped sulking and decided that if I really wanted to develop this channel and create content that supports and entertains, anyone struggling with mental health, then I need to triple down on any content that the channel analytics shows to be doing the best. By "doing the best" I mean has been watched by at least other person who isn't me on the loo.If you're new here please say hello and let me know what you think? If you like what I am trying to do and want to support me then please subscribe to the channel. All the best James THE IMPORTANT BIT If you're struggling please know that you really are not alone. This organisation below may well be able to offer some professional support. Alternatively you could do what I did and go and tell your GP that you really need some help. That plus other things has and continues to work pretty well for me. Take care of yourself. James

Pregnancy Tips for Dads   For Dad, who said the best insurance to protect yourself from the slings and arrows of modern life is the love and support of your family   DADCLAIMER *Like a disclaimer but written on the loo, while hiding in the bathroom as our youngest tries to pick the lock with what looks like my wife’s toothbrush. This hopefully Useful? Entertaining? I’d take readable, blog post is based entirely on my  (8 years so far) experience of being a Dad. We’re genuinely blessed to have 3 awesome but sometimes, ever so slightly unreasonable little people. I have no qualifications in “Dad studies” to my name so please don’t blame, sue, grumble under your breath at me, if anything you read offends you. Something that’s sadly seems to be a bit of a guaranteed outcome these days. BEFORE YOU JUDGE OTHER DADS From the very extensive Dad research I did for this e book (rang my brother and spoke to 1 guy at work) I conclude that most Dads are doing th eir absolute best

    "Oss!"       "I beg your pardon?" As well as the "modest" goal of hoping that me playing an out of tune rendition of "Happy Birthday" on a ukulele will, in some way, raise global morale I have embarked on a secondary goal that is as much mental as it is physical. I think I've probably be having a bi annual life crisis from the age of about 10 onwards so when I turned 40 in 2016 I was, "Yeah and?" I've always regretted giving up Judo aged maybe 11? Wisdom shows if I had kept that up even in the most casual of ways it might have led to something pretty awesome. Being a black belt at anything is pretty awesome be it Jui Jitsu,hoovering, or getting the kids to bed before Emmerdale. Being a black belt at a martial art, especially a martial art that has one of the highest drop out rates,is double awesome. Apparently, 50% of all statistics are invented so make what you want of this.Apparently of all the people that start training B
