If you actually want empathy and advice, and will listen and benefit from it, then welcome. If not, please go do some maturing. (free advice: Focusing on caring about other people and their problems helps). ---

Ok. I must admit that I don’t understand why the OP is taking so much flak, either. And don’t get how people figured out she was a troll 😕 ---
