Charizard asked:


I wake up to a continuation of yesterdays puzzle, everyday. It’s a mystery I’ve been trying to solve since the 5th grade. The only problem is, I’m the puzzle. I’m stuck with this giant mess of bits and pieces I have to fill in and put together. The only way I’ll be happy is by solving it.

It’s taken me a number of years to even grasp a clue of what type of challenge I was facing. I sensed there was something wrong with me, but I wasn’t able to figure out what it was. In 8th grade I matched all the symptoms I was experiencing to something called Social Anxiety. So here it is, my puzzle, I have social phobia.

It struck me unsurprisingly as I realized I was just now beginning my puzzle. This was no ordinary Rubik’s cube or Sudoku game because it became a big part of my life. It was an unpleasant game I was forced to play daily. I remember in middle school people tried to talk to me and as my heart raced in panic, I’d nod my head and pretend I was listening. I wasn’t listening, I was too busy worrying that I would do something “stupid” and turn red in embarrassment. I turned red anyways even if I didn’t do anything stupid. At this point I gave up on my puzzle. I felt completely helpless in my situation, like there was absolutely nothing I can do about it.

Here comes the beginning of high school, the glory years as some would say. I told myself that if I didn’t disentangle this mess then I would have to keep stashing it away, that my social phobia will still live on with me slowly eating up my life like a parasite. I was mentally prepared now and determined to resolve my social anxiety no matter how long or how difficult it became. I set reasonable goals for myself and took small steps into cracking the puzzle. Everyday it seems, I turned a cube on the puzzle. Even if it was just a simple greeting to a friend or speaking up in class, both of which weren’t so easy at the time, I knew I would get better at this game.

Over halfway through high school I became very impatient with how long it’s actually taking to solve my puzzle. There have been times that I felt like I was already finished with my puzzle or was getting near the end of it. When I actually look back I realize I’m probably only halfway through getting things together. I conversed with people, I spoke up in class, and I stopped turning red in fear of becoming embarrassed, but I still wasn’t myself. I didn’t really open up to anyone at all and there was still that awkward feeling I have of a clogged throat when I talk to people. Out of all the people in school, why was I cursed with social phobia? How come no other guy I met had social phobia?

I wanted so badly someone to go through this puzzle with me instead of going through it alone. I know there’s medicine to help suppress the anxiety I have but that’s like cheating on the puzzle. I want to understand more about my social phobia and hopefully come out strong. Because of my social phobia I’ve since had a strong interest in health, medicine, and psychology. I’ve learned to embrace the puzzle as part of who I am as it slowly disappears.
am i better off turning this in or not…..i dont think the college requires an essay

Virginia Jj asked:


I am 17, & the type of person who likes to accomplish as much as I can, in all area’s I can manage!
I do sudoku’s, and crosswords, but I also like doing word searches … because they are easy, and fast, and I think it would be pretty cool if I had a hundread books finished.
BUT, I am mature, and I don’t want to appear any diffrent …
Do you think that might be stupid, or seem imature? Because they are SO easy, and many kids do them?
Also, do you off hand know of any benefit one might get from doing them?

Thanks for all the suggestions, advice, and input.

What can I do to make my boyfriend’s 28-day stay at a mental/rehab hospital better for him?

SKHY asked:


I am 19 and he is 17- will both be a year older in less than a week.
He was asked to go to outpatient rehab by his dad (got caught with weed once, and got messed up on xanax once), and next thing I know friends from our work are calling to tell me they admitted him for 28 days against his will.
He is at a mental hospital that also works with substance abuse patients, so I don’t know if he was admitted based on substance abuse, mental problems, or both. (By the length of stay I would say both or mental problems.)
My boyfriend has problems with anger, depression/self-loathing, and very bad attachment issues towards me (aka smothering).
He is also constantly paranoid that he’s done something wrong, upset me, mad me angry and that I am going to leave him.
His dad, for some stupid reason, hasn’t decided if he’ll give permission for me to visit him or not.
I know for a fact that he is resisting very hard, and very angry towards his dad, for not being able to text, call, or see me.
I have been admitted against my will to the same hospital years ago (they lied on my assessment for unknown reasons), and I know how alone you can feel and how extremely bored being in there can be. I want to make it easier on him. I want to support him in his time of need.
I hope I gave you enough information. Some things I already thought of were to bring him a book, journal and some crosswords and/or sudoku.
