Both praise and criticism are essential. For instance, a work of art or a piece of writing from someone isn't always going to be perfect. Most of the time, there's something to improve upon, and that's where constructive criticism takes place. I don't believe in the saying, 'If you don't have...

I'm listening to the album Branches by Antlerand. All the songs on there are incredibly beautiful. I'm horrible at picking genres but on last.fm they're tagged as: alternative cool electronic indie mellow orchestral post-rock This is the only album by them and if they never release...

I probably most fit into: The psychologically impaired. I had my first nervous breakdown at 13 (notice: first. I've had 3 thus far, institutionalized all times and I'm only 27). Anyway, everyday life is really difficult for me. I'm officially diagnosed with Bipolar I, mixed and probably throw...

Heh. I love how you're so frank about everything. It's quite funny. - e.

What makes you smile, even for just a teeny bit? It may not even be a smile, just some sort of reprieve from the emotions at the current moment? During times when I'm most depressed (not to the point of being suicidal though), I've found that it's the small things, simple things -- those that...

I was at level 3 and reached the suicidal stage within a few days. It was the most horrific thing that's happened to me in a long time. Things are a lot better now though. Seeing a therapist, upped the meds, getting plenty of sunshine. Life is okay again. :) Thanks for the tips. Do you mind...

Greetings Sakura! It's great to meet you too. What creative outlets do you prefer (e.g. painting, music, poetry, etc.)? I love oil painting myself and recently have been fiddling around with acrylics. - eileen (pssst! I'm new here too) :)

Wowie! Such a quick response! :) Did you draw that picture on your profile? It looks awesome! - eileen

Thanks for the warm welcome, Terminus! :) I really like your signature and the blurb under your screen name ('a distant light'). My name actually means 'light-bearer' so I have a certain affinity with the sun and moon. - eileen.

Hi everyone, I've been lurking for a few hours and I really like the sense of community you all seem to have. I'm not one to personally post on message boards or anything public on the Internet. However, I do think that being here will be beneficial for me and I hope that I can positively...
