Hi Heartbrokengirl,

It occurs to me that not everyone can be texting at any time of the day or night.  Is there a reason why he might not be able to reply to your texts such as he might be working?  If he feels that you are coming on too strong then he might be backing off.  Appreciate what you have while you are together and don’t set yourself up for failure with the texts.  In other words stop texting him unless its really important.

Hi Alexandria,

So sorry to hear your story.

You could not foresee what was going to happen to your aunt and your motive for helping your aunt/friend was a good one.  Your aunt made her own decision on this and no-one should  be throwing this back at you.  I do sympathize with your aunt for what she has gone through and hope she can come to terms with her ordeal.

Your father has lost his job.  Again, this is not your fault and neither is the random illness that you have been suffering from.  I do not understand why your presents need to be sent back.  Your birthday could still be celebrated.  It doesn’t need to cost money.

I’m sure your father is quite capable of finding another job and it sounds as if everyone is over-reacting to the circumstance they find themselves in.  I really hope things improve for the family and yourself very soon.

I would like to wish you a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

Peggy

I am grateful for the life I have been given and for the warm, loving family that I am part of including my three amazing children with their own very individual personalities which I have helped to shape.  I am grateful for the fun and laughter that we have shared.  I am grateful for my good health.  I am grateful for the abundance in my life.

Hi Sun,

Hi Greenshade,

Your friend is being very rude when she is with you.  Send her a text and tell her that it is not worth you spending any time with her as she is not free to engage with you due to her constant use of the phone.  If she values you, she will apologize – if not, then she is not a true friend and you do not need her in your life.

Perhaps you do need to learn to manage your anger as, at the moment, it seems to be directed inwards and will cause you problems if you do not learn to release it in a safe way.  Find a group or therapist who deals with anger management.

There could be many reasons why you have low energy one of them being under-active thyroid.  Perhaps you need to check this out with a medical advisor.  Poor diet, lack of sleep, not enough exercise are three other possible causes.  I’m assuming you are female in which case perhaps you are lacking iron.

Generally speaking, when you begin to feel angry, pay attention to your breathing as you may be switching to shallow breathing which means you may just be using the top part of your lungs instead of taking the air in to the base of your lungs.

I hope some of the above is helpful to you.

Hello Heartbrokengurl

Your new boyfriend is great and he treats you well but after just two months together you have issues with him.  He is not romantic enough and he does not text you enough.  You are not excited by him.  At a rough guess, I would say he isn’t the right man for you.
