Off the bat, this is my 200th published post on IJAR. It’s taken me far to long to get this far and I should be hanging my head in shame at my total crap status as a blogger. Really I am not that worried. I have posted more posts elsewhere that if I hadn’t had [...]]]> http://www.itsjustaride.co.uk/2013/04/26/200/feed/ 9 http://www.itsjustaride.co.uk/2013/03/27/discharged/ http://www.itsjustaride.co.uk/2013/03/27/discharged/#comments Wed, 27 Mar 2013 01:09:00 +0000 Paul http://www.itsjustaride.co.uk/?p=1383 http://www.itsjustaride.co.uk/2013/03/27/discharged/feed/ 0 http://www.itsjustaride.co.uk/2013/03/22/messy-mind-messy-head/ http://www.itsjustaride.co.uk/2013/03/22/messy-mind-messy-head/#comments Fri, 22 Mar 2013 18:36:33 +0000 Paul http://www.itsjustaride.co.uk/?p=1377

I mentioned sometime last year that I was starting a new group at the CMHT. The name of the group is STEPPS. It’s not MY group I am just a participant in the group.

As the title says it’s just after 3.30 in the morning. I have been in bed for over 90 minutes and I am still awake. Nothing is working. Relaxation music, spoken word stuff that normally sends me off. Even the old trick of a glass of milk hasn’t helped. I don’t know what to try.

As some may remember I have been attending a Creative Arts group through my local CMHT as of late. I am not sure what I was expecting from the group.
