A reintroduction two years later

Hi guys,
Most of you will probably have seen me on the boards over the past 2 years (particularly the count to 10,000 one π) but since I've just passed my 2 year anniversary on the Mix (and in true sinead276 fashion, I missed the actual date), I thought what better time to reintroduce myself.
So hi, I'm Sinead, a former psychology student who has been studying a masters in Child and Adolescent Mental Health since September last year. I signed up to the Mix as a volunteer peer supporter to get some experience helping those who need it, but little did I know what an amazing community I would be entering. I have a passion for mental health and doing what I can to help young people who need an ear to listen and a place to be heard (and hopefully I've somewhat done that for some people)
Beyond the land of mental health, I love reading, listening to music (a true Swiftie here - listening to her as I write this), and going for a walk every now and then to clear my head and escape the pressure that is university deadlines and assignments.
So there's a little about me and I just wanted to say how amazing it has been over the past 2 years in being on the boards (when I have had the time) and I've realised this nearly sounds like I'm leaving which is NOT the case. Hopefully I can still help people on here where possible in the future.
No idea how to sign this off but thank youuuu
(if you made to the end, treat yourself to a biscuit or fun snack)

Your studies sound really interesting! I'm also about to start a psychology degree in September!
What's your favourite Taylor Swift song? What do you think of the new album?
@ebyrne556 - thank youuu. it's been great being here and doing what I can to support people
Best of luck with your masters degree- what an achievement!
If we read your post to the end multiple times, do we get multiple snacks?
@Azziman - treat yourself to as many snacks as you wish for as many reads π (although read too many times and you'll probably be able to recite my post from heart π)
Hope you're well and sending hugs
But thank you to you and everyone else for being supportive. I definitely know to reach out here if I need it too. Hope you're well at the moment too.
Sending hugs
Sinead
