So here I am.

I have always been an 'Agony Aunt'. I don't even know why, so I suppose I am really an 'Accidental Agony Aunt'. I do like trying to give people sensible advice and hopefully make some difference to them. Sometimes I actually get this right.

I came across this website by accident and thought 'how wonderful'. I really wanted to be part of this.

I actually believe that I can take responsibility for how I see and feel about the various events in my life. It can get pretty difficult but I have learned that I can change things that make me feel not so good into something that doesn't make me feel quite so bad. This doesn't always work, but I try.

A.   11 April 2012: No, this is not weird. For some reason your girlfriend is feeling very insecure. She is looking for a lot of reassurance from you. Don't compare her to your ex-girlfriend. You don't want to buy into her game. Buy her some flowers, take her out ... (read in full...)

A.   10 April 2012: Antidepressants and alcohol are a bad mix. It seems like this guy has some tough matters to sort out on his own. With everything else going on in his life, a long distance relationship was perhaps just a little too much for him. He thought he could ... (read in full...)
