During the first few months of the New Year we can often feel low. This might be because it is a cold and dark time of year; because the fun of Christmas and New Year is over; because our festive period was perhaps not as pleasant as we might have wished, or we might feel overweight or unfit, or have financial, relationship or employment worries.

Hello! I hope you are all having a good June and enjoying the intermittent ‘summer’ weather?!

I first wrote this for the Eurograduate website last year, but here we are in the middle of exam season once again…

Dear Cat. My step-sister has just got engaged and has booked her wedding 4 weeks before mine!
I have fallen out with my family over this and am so upset, angry, and embarrassed. My wedding has been planned for over a year and it feels like its been ruined by her ‘jumping in’ and having hers just before mine! What do I do?
Thanks, Mandy
