in Introduce Yourself
:flowerforyou:
Hey everyone! I'm very new here so support would be great. Right now I'm a college student (Psychology major!) and I really care about Game of Thrones, good books, my blog, coffee and yoga/pilates. I've been diagnosed with two Eating Disorders (at different times) and something else related to mental health over the past five years. I don't like to focus on that because I want to be stronger than my problems, you know? Recovery is a process though, so hopefully I'll get to talk to some cool people on here to make it a little easier. Oh, on a more positive note I really love languages and I'm currently studying French and improving my Spanish, so if you speak either consider us friends!

    Howdy, flexiblebliss! I too have had some mental health issues while in college (I just graduated though and am heading to graduate school for chemistry). I'm really into nature and outdoorsy activities, but I also love GoT, reading, and watching sports on TV (my guilty pleasure). I do a little bit of yoga when I find the time. I am, however, an avid tea drinker as opposed to coffee. We can be friends anyway though. :)

    Tambien, hablo un poco español.

    Salut, flexible bliss !

    I'm a college graduate (23 at the moment) and can totally relate to your desire to stay healthy during college. I made it three pretty healthy years and a horribly unhealthy senior year! I love books, French (the language and all other French things), coffee, traveling, etc. I live in South Korea and I teach kindergarten. I have 10 lbs left to lose, and lots of muscle to gain -- I want to be ripped. ;)

    Feel free to add me. :)

    Edit: I also have a blog, haha.

    Thank you both! Tay - grad school seems so exciting, so congrats on that! We have a lot in common so I'll forgive you for liking tea. :) haha but in all seriousness I've been trying to replace coffee and tea as the day goes on because some herbal stuff is really good and I need to be less attached to caffeine. Oh and yo halba español pero entiendo(a?) mas de hablar porque mi mamá y papá hablan inglés. Cuando era más mas joven mis amigo(a)s hablan español mucho conmigo pero then my family moved/I changed schools and I decided to learn to parler/étudier français. None of that made sense probably so the moral of the story is I'm a language trainereck lol.

    Cestabbey - Enchanté! I added you. Congrats to you as well for graduating and landing such a cool job. Also it's amazing that you're so close to your goal. I'm sure you looked great before but I hope you feel happy, healthy and confident now more than ever.
