Yeahh, see, it would be easy except for the fact that it's only a 2GB iPod, sooo I can't just plug it in and transfer all my songs onto it.. I have to drop and drag about 600 songs individually.
I keep procrastinating doing it. 
Ahhh, it's for my depression. I finally got up the courage to speak to my parents, which led to speaking to my doctor, and now he's referred me to some clinical nurse specialist woman.
I think she's going to decide who I'm referred to next or something. 
I don't know. But I mean, I desperately need the help so I suppose it's a good thing. Only thing left to do now is to tell the truth. 
Oooh, well that sounds pretty nice! Hehe, yeah, I would have ended up with nothing this Christmas if my mom hadn't kept bugging me to tell her what the heck I wanted. xD Oooh, I've never heard of him. *goes to search on goodreads* I hope the movie is good! Sometimes they really ruin books.

Ooh, that sounds awesome!
Yuss, I'mma doing a lot of HL today as well. Don't really have much else to do. xD Well, I do have to fill my sister's iPod (her Christmas present) with stupid music because mom said she wants there to be music on for when my sister opens it. FAIL.
I'm actually okay! Have my first therapy appointment tomorrow morning which kinda sucks 'cause it's so near Christmas but I'm feeling pretty hopeful about it at the same time.
I'm just staying homeee. My gran and my uncle are coming over for Christmas day, so that should be nice. I is getting a new pair of Converse and a bunch of special edition books and that's about it. I seem to want less ever year. xD
I had to Google Droid Phone haha. That looks REALLY niiiice. What books are you gettinggg? -

Heyyy Robin! Long time no conversation and stuff.
You're welcome! I love stalking blogs and all that jazz. xD That's awesome, you won't have any problem keeping up with your posts then! Forum modding is fun. Powerful.
Nahh, not this time. I had only applied for HL mod but wasn't expecting to get it 'cause I've not been very active. <_< And I was right, didn't get it. xD Which is probably a good thing because I have waaay too much going on around here. 
How're you doing anyway? <3 -

Hi there! I'm Robin, one of TeenHelp's Project Coordinators. You'll almost certainly see me around, whether it's on the front end (Forums, Chat Room, etc.) or back end (Staff areas).
Being a Staff member is pretty cool, so if you're interested to learn more, send me a message!
Here are ten fun facts so you can get to know me better.
---
1. I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California.
***PLEASE NOTE, I cannot assess, diagnose, or treat you via TeenHelp.*** When I'm here, I'm serving as a peer mentor (who happens to have a whole lot of education and experience to back up their statements). With that being said, I'm happy to help you find a mental health professional, should TeenHelp be inadequate for meeting your needs!
---
2. I joined TeenHelp in June 2009 (over a decade ago!).
I used to be an administrator for another website and was looking for mental health resources to share with our members. I happened to come across TeenHelp, and it was love at first sight. I settled into the "Relationships and Dating" forum and decided to apply for Staff as soon as I could!
---
3. I've been a Staff member since July 2009 (again, over a decade ago!).
When I think back on how many different roles I've held over the years, it's truly mind-boggling! Here's a timeline for those who are interested:
HelpLINK Mentor - July 2009
Forum Moderator - December 2009
Article Editor (now known as Publications Editor) - June 2010
Social Networking Officer - May 2011
Volunteering Officer - October 2012
Project Advisor (now known as Lead Moderator) - April 2014
Operations Team Leader - March 2015
Project Coordinator - November 2019
I've also served on various committees and teams, some of which have been discontinued or integrated into Staff roles over the years:
Social Networking Team - May 2010
Operations and Procedures Committee - August 2010
Disputes Committee - December 2011
Performance/Volunteering Committee - March 2012
Videos Team - January 2014

4. Hugh Jackman is my celebrity crush. ♥
Every time I change Staff roles, I change my Hugh Jackman avatar (so no, that is not a picture of me, LOL).

5. I'm old (*GASP!*).
Okay, 30 doesn't really feel old to me, but I realize it's old compared to the majority of TeenHelp members. The truth is that I found TeenHelp when I was 20 years old (just barely out of my teens), so I've always been on the older end of the membership spectrum. I'd like to think that I can use my life experiences to connect in meaningful ways, vs. being another stuffy adult who acts like they know it all (because I definitely don't!).
---
6. I've been married for over five years.
My husband is the love of my life - and believe me, it was a journey to find him! One of the reasons why I connected with the "Relationships and Dating" forum is because I've had my fair share of difficult relationships. Some were abusive (in more ways than one). Others were just downright challenging due to the long-distance aspect or religious/philosophical differences.
Being a mental health professional doesn't make our relationship immune to miscommunications or arguments. I'm not perfect, and neither is my husband. At the end of the day, we make the conscious choice to love each other in big and small ways. We accept that we're flawed human beings, and we try to learn from our mistakes!
---
7. I've been diagnosed with a mental health disorder.
This is something I rarely talk about publicly, but I'm open to sharing details privately. You probably wouldn't know I have a mental health diagnosis if you met me face-to-face, but a person can be highly functional and still struggle on a daily basis. I go through phases where I become emotionally and physically drained, and that's incredibly frustrating. However, I don't give up on myself. I go to therapy nearly every week to address my triggers and unhelpful ways of thinking about myself, others, and the world as a whole. I'm a huge fan of self-awareness, self-care, and self-compassion.
---
8. I'm white and nerdy (anyone get the reference?).
Bookworm, Browncoat, Gamer, Otaku, Potterhead, Tolkienite, Trekkie... just to name a few. For me, it's never a competition to see who's the "nerdiest" - it's just about connecting with people who are excited about the same or similar things. So hit me up if you want to nerd out over something!
---
9. I love to travel.
I haven't always been able to travel (it's hard to find the time or money when you're in graduate school or working as an unpaid intern), but now that I'm in a different phase with my life and career, my husband and I try to plan a few trips each year. Some of my favorite destinations have been NYC, Chicago, Kauai, St. Croix, and Thailand!
---
10. I'm obnoxiously optimistic and solution-focused.
We may be hardwired for negativity, but that doesn't mean dwelling on problems helps us in the long run. So while I may acknowledge the issues that brought you to TeenHelp, I'm determined to focus on what we can improve upon. Change is possible. You may not be able to change your environment right away, but you can start to change your mindset right now (and now... and now!). It may take a great deal of effort (after all, you're learning new habits!), but my experience has been that the hard work is worth it.
---
That's it for now! If you'd like to reach out for any reason, please don't hesitate to send me a message. =)

- Favorite quotes
- “In my early professional years I was asking the question: How can I treat, or cure, or change this person? Now I would phrase the question in this way: How can I provide a relationship which this person may use for [their] own personal growth?”
― Carl Rogers (American psychologist) - Other interests
- I think it's safe to say that I enjoy my staff duties on TeenHelp. =D
