1st class Orientation Mood
Thursday, November 5, 2009 | An Educational story
First class was on orientation.We went around the room and talked about why we were taking the class, if we had a disability and what was one fun thing about us.It was interesting half the class liked art mainly sketching and painting and the other half liked food mainly chocolate, cooking, eating out. The three facilitators told us that this class was a new model they were testing it out on us and in two other couties in Md.Donna was suppose to go with me but backed out at the last minute and I braved it out and took a taxi cab.They said they were really happy to see me since they know I have been trying to see them for awhile but due to my agoraphobia I never made it there alone. I already am familiar with one of the women there. I have seen her at another outing I was on once. The subway is apparently right next door bec. I would see the lights of the inside and hear the noise as it chugged on by. I am really sluggish today. Its taken all day today just to do my laundry.Debs comes over tomorrow and then Sat. is the art class. We were working on our African Masks.Must go for now I lost my remote and I fell asleep last time trying to find it! take care all, love from, Jewel

    Oh Jewel, I am so proud of you. Way to go girl. You didn't allow the phobia to get in your way. You are getting braver and braver everyday.
    I have been on topamax before for my migraines. Unfortunately, I couldn't take it. For me, it gave me tingling sensations and felt I was coming out of my skin but I hope it works for you b/c it can help you lose weight and suppress your appetite.
    Big hugs to you and keep up the good work. You will have to take a pic of your mask and post it. Stella
