The Coffee Shop

[bumblebee62331]

Hey guys, here is a place where you can come in, pull up a chair and say hi. Check in to see how everyone is doing. Topic doesn't have to be ED-related, I just thought it might be nice to have a neutral room where we can just get to know each other outside of our struggles.

It's inevitable that the topic might become a little ED-related, but could we please try to keep this room as positive and upbeat as possible? This could be a place where you could come to just get away from it all for a bit, to take a bit of a break from thinking or posting about your ED struggles. An ED can be very very stressful and upsetting.

So come in and have a coffee!

You are all so special, we are all loved so much! We have the biggest power on our side - God! He will watch over us and help us when we stumble. He only cares about us and wants us to recover!

It's odd for me to be this upbeat, so I thought I would grab this chance and run with it, and for some reason I was being directed to create a Coffee Shop thread, so here we go! I hope you guys can use it, I would love to talk to all of you in here!

Hi, you can have a hot chocolate, certainly! And thanks, I love the picture too.

How are you Katey?

I'll introduce myself -- I'm Kate and I'm a uni student at the moment, I'm studying music. I hope to be a music teacher at a high school and take bands/orchestras/choirs etc. I have an adorable little black kitten called Puddy Tat (who is currently attacking my foot). I've had an ED for about 9 or 10 years now, so it's been a while. I'm really long term lol. I'm in my sixth attempt of recovery. I have a really supportive boyfriend whom I love dearly. Oh and two mice - Indy and Nibbles!

My favourite TV shows are Dr Phil, the Wild Thornberrys, The Biggest Loser (Australian), Medium, Numb3rs and Law & Order - SVU.

So hi!

hiya kate,

my names Katey as you already know by my username. i'm 18 and in my last year of 6th form. hoping to take a gap year and then go onto to Uni to do youth and community studies, and then do youth work. i have two cats, the yougnest is caled tilly, i think she might be pregant and the others called Jill and shes ten big fat thing. they are both great. i have had it for nearly four years but didn't start gettin help until last year.
i love mise do you not find that you cat likes them? mine sit on my little sisters hamster cage.?

 

[bumblebee62331]

Ooh that would be so exciting if your cat is pregnant!

My kitten doesn't seem interested in the mice yet - they live up on top of the fridge, the only place she can't get to them! I mean, if they were running around the floor, of course she would pounce, but at the moment, what she can't see, she doesn't care about.

My parents are buying me a digital piano today, I'm so excited!!

 

[katey]

ooohh sounds fun, yeah i love cats. they are great lol yeah thats true. my cats don't hurt the hamster just sit there teasing it, and its mainly the younger one.

anyway i'm going to head of to try and get some sleep now. will speak soon, enjoy your piano. xxx

 

[bumblebee62331]

Are you going to be on for a while? Because I could do with chatting while I eat something... No pressure, if you're off or something.

 

[katey]

hello everyone,

hope everyone feeling ok. are you feeling better byootaful?

 

[bumblebee62331]

Hi Katey! I'm off uni again today because I'm still sick.

I was up most of the morning, I coudn't sleep and let's just say...I'm tired. How are you doing today?

 

[katey]

hello again,
hope your feeling little better. yeah i couldnt sleep last night. and have been of 6th form 2day aswell. am feeling bit better health wise not feeling sick anymore. very tired as usual. am supposed to be writing an essay its like 12:11am here

 

[bumblebee62331]

What subject is the essay for? And when's it due?

 

[katey]

lol well there are actually two i need to get done one of them is for Religious studies to do with the sermon on the mount and thats for friday the other one is psychology to do with attachment but am not in the mood for doing psychology essays just at the moment so am doing the RS one lol or rather attempting 2.

 

[bumblebee62331]

Aww man I hate essays. What grade are you in for school?

 

[katey]

lol i know i hate essays two. especially when your are really tired n just can't concentrate. am in 6th form which is in between high school and university. its my last year and then am doing a gap year. n then not sure if i want to go to uni yet am still thinking about it. what about you?

 

[bumblebee62331]

Ahh okay. I'm at uni, I have two years to go. I wanted to do a gap year, but I didn't end up doing it. It would have been nice to have a break from study because I get stressed so easily.

 

[katey]

yeah i have wanted to do a gap year for a while. i actually wanted to do medicine but i failed my sciences last year so ti sorta went outta the window, i might go back to it i'm not sure yet. but i do know i need a break, i have had so much going on nonstop for the past 5 or so years i just need a break from it all. i have had an interview fro one gap year plce and filled in two other application forms i'll find out about the interview in about 2 weks so hopefully it will b ok.
