Yeah nothing better than a quiet Christmas! Have you finished the gift shopping? I've only started last week!
Hope you found inspiration for that one family member.
Aww, your holiday plans sounds lovely
pooh your parents are moving across the country next year? I imagine that would be a bit difficult as the US seems so vast. I'm lucky in that I still live at home and other relatives only live 30 minutes away

Hi Robin!
You may or may not remember me, I'm Lizzi (and if you go back through our VM conversation, we talked like ten years ago. Crazy).
Anyway, I show up here from time to time just to see what's changed and such - and I noticed you're an Admin (Project Coordinator - I know the staff roles have changed names, but I haven't been here regularly since 2011) now! I just wanted to say congrats - you deserve it! It's always nice to see that there's still some people still here from back when I was around. -
Thank you, Robin! I still can't believe I have all these roles!
I hope your Thanksgiving was good! Yeah, we are partially in the path of the storm that's due this afternoon. -
Blue is a cute color Have you been on every area on this? I can't believe you have been on this for 10 years, that lovely. You like to help others, that's sweet.
My sister's saw Les Miserables and said it was cute. I never did. You like him as Wolverine too
I love ballet and to be on pointe. I could do this for so many hours. It's my dream to go to The Juilliard School, I would just love to dance everyday. The only way to get into this school is with a scholarship, because it's a lot of money. I also do hip-hop, jazz and contemporary. I started dancing when I was 4 years old and then stopped at 10 to play golf more with my dad. Then after his accident, I started to dance again because I felt lost and I'm so glad that I get to dance so much. Have you taken dance classes or do you like to dance?
Sorry sometimes I don't always know what to say because I'm shy and sometimes talking to someone different things come out and I don't mean to say it, like the part about my dad. I hope you have a wonderful weekend. Hugs. -
I hope things are going well with you, Robin. How is work? Will you be getting any time off for Thanksgiving? If so, what are your plans? I hope you have a good week ahead of you.
PS, guess who got Newsletters.

Hi, I forgot to add this, don't hate me for this A while ago when I was looking at you're picture and it said Hugh Jackman ❤️ I was like I know that name but can't remember who it is. Is he cute? I have to look him up and then I was like OMG he's Wolverine Totally hot! I see why you like him I also liked him in The Greatest showman. What's you're favorite movie with him?
Sometimes I forgot actors because I don't watch TV or movies everyday or a few weeks go by with school, dance and other things going on. I just wanted to tell you that because you like him. Hope you are having a good day. -
Still over the moon about you and Haley being made Project Co-ordinators!
I've been okay, thanks. We'll probably have a quiet Christmas at home and we'll play board games, watch Christmas films and eat lots of festive food! Though I've not actually started preparing or buying gifts yet so I'll have to get cracking!
How about you? What plans do you have for the holidays? -

"Single, and ready for some Pringles."
Do you enjoy Pringles, Robin? I haven't had any in years, to be honest.

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. =)

- I think it's safe to say that I enjoy my staff duties on TeenHelp. =D
