Having a partner with mental illness, specifically bipolar depression, is hard.
Carissa in Family and Relationships, on April 9, 2021 at 2:25 PM

Are these gaudy/tacky?
Carissa in Style and Décor, on May 23, 2021 at 3:25 PM

Carissa in Planning, on May 13, 2021 at 11:19 PM

I knowwwww everyone says they're worth it and "you'll regret not getting one," but I just don't feel any strong emotions about it. I've never watched anyone's wedding videos, ever, not even the couple...

Carissa in Family and Relationships, on April 6, 2021 at 1:15 PM
