Dear Doctor XXX,

I am writing to ask for your advice. I am not feeling very well recently. Can you give me
some help?

First of all, I’m having a lot of work at my office and personal difficulties with my boyfriend so
I feel very anxious and worried and I have started eating lots of chocolates, sweets and candies.
Now, I have gained four more pounds in two weeks and people say I

look overweight….To make it worse, I’m not sleeping well and I feel really tired and
angry all the time. Yesterday, I had a terrible migraine and couldn’t go to work, I don’t
know what to do to feel better. This morning, I woke up and I realized I had a stiff neck.
This is really bad! What should I do?

Please give me some good advice as soon as possible.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Desperate girl
