Sister in the Lord Tatiana!
I advise you to overcome all your confessed temptations with God’s help. 50 k. and received the parcel, God forbid.
With humility and patience, cut off your will in everything. Always remember, and may your example be the disciple of Abba Dorotheus, the novice brother Dosifei, who was saved in five years for cutting off his will and being obedient.
If you are embarrassed, then hold your tongue and conquer with silence. This is the main thing, start with God’s help and say the Jesus Prayer.
Just as you cannot be compelled to do every good deed, follow the teachings of St. Father. Be experienced in temptation. If thoughts strike, strike them with the spiritual sword, which is the word of God. They force you to say or do something, go to God now, ask for help, but if you fall, then get up right now, ask for forgiveness from the Lord. And so, if you force yourself and always ask God, then believe me, it will become easier over time, and the Lord will always help. Read "Theotokos". May the Lord forgive you, child, and help you correct yourself.
Asking for peace and God's blessing on you.
