Dealing with Addiction
Gaining Self-Confidence
Dear Dr. Donaldson,
I have been out of work for the last few months and want to get back on track. My self-confidence has taken a nosedive. Losing my job has left me full of self-doubt.

Are You a Perfectionist?
Dear Dr. Donaldson,
I am a sophomore in college. I usually get good grades, but when I have a project or a paper due, I want it to be perfect. Last semester I got a B on a major project. I was devastated. I just wanted it to be perfect, so I redid it, but then I couldn’t get an A because it was late. When I was in high school I failed a sewing project because I kept redoing my dress because it wasn’t perfect. Everyone else turned their project in on time, but I barely got mine in by the end of the semester. I am my own worst enemy. I want this semester to go better.

Love is the Answer
Dear Reader,
Last week I was thinking about which question I would answer in this column. This week, my dad ended up in ICU and I was wondering if I would be able to answer any of them. Early one morning, the answer came to me—I will answer them all.
