For Anyone Who Has Ever Been Bullied
For Anyone Who Has Ever Been Bullied. My misery at the hands of bullies was becoming too big for me. My pain, both physically and mentally, was becoming uncontrollable. Panic attacks were my daily diet, sleepless nights almost a ritual. Something had to give.
Eventually, I started doing things that frightened me outside of the bullying environment. Things that frightened me, but things I knew would eventually lead me to the path of confidence.

A Very Pi**ed Off Bugs Bunny, or How to Lose Millions
A very angry Wabbit A Very Pi**ed Off Bugs Bunny, or How to Lose Millions Bounce houses, bouncy castles, inflatable fun houses.

Making My Mental Health Better
Making My Mental Health Better. So many things went into the decline of my mental health (was it really any good to start with), but so many things also went into fixing it.
In this short, honest series of videos, I talk about the factory my father owned and the tyranny he exercised in his heyday. Certainly, his treatment of me was not good, as you will hear in the video. But of course, the Universe sends us down ways to deal with such things, and I also address these in the
