crisella74 Adolescence is a hard time and it can take a hard tool on you. You have asked for help and that is a major step, I wish I have done that when I was a teenager. You are already on the road to recovery. Medicine can help to deal with the symptoms but it won't...

Ask any men you're likely to get 'A good heart' as an answer. Even better 'Sexy' or the classic motherly. But those are rubbish, I don think women need to have JLO's body or Mitchell Obama intellect to be the most eligible...

crisella74 In my personal view it's how you make the other person feel. And that goes for both women and men. We love the person we see in the other person eyes. How many times we heard "She makes me feel happy", "He makes me feel beautiful"... it's how we see ourselves...

If a stranger of the opposite gender asked you to hug them and hold their hand because they felt down and lonely - would you? Or would you back off faster than Casey Jones steaming towards a fallen tree on the line?

crisella74 Bipolar is an illness just like any other, people saying "It's all in your head" don't have the intelligence or the general culture to understand it. Of course, nut cases like Tom Cruise didn't help at all. I haven't seen any of his movies since then. I think...

crisella74 I would probably think it's very strange to go around asking people to hug you or hold your hand. I think it's more difficult for women, guys might not have such a problem with it, apart from the fact that in general they are not the most hugging kind of...

crisella74 I think there are various reason for suicide attempts. Suicide attempts connected to depression are usually a way out. When you feel depress you can actually feel pain, and a lot of pain I may add. Emotional pain is one of the worst pains out there, you feel...

crisella74 Interesting. My first thought is to answer what I do for a living (I haven't read any answers yet, but I have a suspicion this will be a commune answer). And I'm a freelance translator, thou that's probably irrelevant. As for what I really am doing right now,...

crisella74 I think it's at least one time per day. I grow up in a house where we never said those things. We knew our parents loved us, we just didn't say it. I think that affected my ability to express my feelings and my communication abilities for a very long time. In...
