This is a Big Deal and I am proud of you. I know there are tons of thoughts and anxieties racing around your head, but take some time to congratulate yourself on a really amazing accomplishment.<BR/><BR/>xoxo<BR/>SarahSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11813023808982058233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561748834204284315.post-69458476508026114322007-09-11T18:52:00.000-04:002007-09-11T18:52:00.000-04:00Jeanne,It's one of those things that I suppose is ...Jeanne,<BR/><BR/>It's one of those things that I suppose is better in the long run (the anorexia not being quite as, um, fun as it used to). Like when you go back to an amusement park you used to visit as a kid, and all of a sudden, those rides look really small and puny.<BR/><BR/>Faith,<BR/><BR/>Maybe they chuckled out of relief that I was a moron. I've had a number of professors frankly scare the snot out of me on the first day, so it may be relief!<BR/><BR/>Laura,<BR/><BR/>Isn't that what treatment facility hopping is? A kind of compulsive gambling? Throw the dice and hope for the best! :)<BR/><BR/>No, Mary has me pegged (beaded?). I'm firmly into gambling with little beads and some good paperbacks. I have read that research, though.

I haven't quite come to a full understanding of why and how but I'm hoping that by learning all of that, I will come to accept it as it is. Or at least some of it. I think for me it has to do with control. I don't like the constant reminder that I am not completely in control. Ugh.<BR/><BR/>BTW - If your students chuckled, they probably don't think you're a moron. They're probably really grateful that you're not!<BR/><BR/>xo<BR/>FaithFaithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04682532324408829173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561748834204284315.post-36949941249416749662007-09-11T10:13:00.000-04:002007-09-11T10:13:00.000-04:00"I idealize that haze a lot."I do, too. Unfortunat..."I idealize that haze a lot."<BR/>I do, too. Unfortunately, i've found that you can't go back to the haze. It doesn't have the same oompf that it once had... <BR/>And that is incredibly depressing.<BR/><BR/>Sorry - not helpful, huh?<BR/><BR/>I am glad that you made it through your first day! It will get better - easier, more comfortable. <BR/><BR/>thinking of you,<BR/>jeanneAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17032617457209218758noreply@blogger.com
