The name of Phthisis makes you very idealistic, sensitive, and inspirational. You are generous and people are drawn to you because of your friendly and sympathetic nature. In reality, the emotional urges of this name are difficult to control. If these qualities are not understood and properly directed through music, art, or other creative expression, you could become jealous and possessive of those close to you. Your feelings are so strong that you are inclined to build your life around certain individuals and become wrapped up in personal love rather than seeking into the deeper truths of life; thus you could suffer losses in your affections and shattered ideals. When you care for someone, you can become suspicious, jealous, and possessive. There are extreme highs in your nature when you are inspired, optimistic, kind, understanding, generous, and charming. You crave a home and family but tend to be over-protective of loved ones because of your fear of loss. When you are inspired and feel happy, life seems so wonderful; but you can be just as depressed and unhappy as well, feeling as if everyone is against you. Tension in your body could affect your whole nervous system causing you to be high strung and to suffer with fits, strokes, apoplexy, or nervous disorders.
