TROUBLE SHOOTER
Talk to yourself
I have liked this girl for three years. However, she was seeing another boy and told me that she could not marry him as her parents would not agree, but she continued to talk to me. I did not talk to her for months but she would call me up and said she needed me as her friend. Now again, she is with the other boy and stopped talking to me. I am feeling very upset even though my friends are very supportive and are helping me through this, I keep crying and feel very low. I am an engineer, in a good job, so it is really depressing to be this way.
