Your first name of Carissa contributes sensitive, creative, and idealistic qualities to your nature that could be expressed in a variety of literary or artistic fields. Kind but shy, you appear calm but suffer inwardly from nervous tension that saps your strength. You would give anything to be natural, fun-loving, and expressive. Since you lack self-confidence, you are reluctant to take steps to resolve a vital concern, even though you feel quite strongly about it. Asthma, flu, and pleurisy are the types of illnesses to which you could fall heir. Therefore you find it difficult to express your thoughts as freely as you wish and, thus, others do not find it easy to get to know you well. A tendency to put on weight could also be a concern. As a result, you often feel nervous, self-conscious, lonely, and sorry for yourself. As a result, you experience moods of depression and self-pity and often avoid facing issues. A lack of confidence leads to procrastination, a need for support and encouragement from others, and a vulnerability to be taken advantage of in many situations.
