Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
Most of us has one or more odd little oddities as they tend to be present with our conditions.
One of mine is that if I am sat next to someone, I cannot stand to be touched in any which way, shape or form. Say I am on a crowded bus and the person next to me unintentionally touches my arm or leg, I get very anxious and jumpy. No reason for it, I just react bad when touched.
Another oddity is plucking nose hair. Don't ask why but I always keep them plucked. The hair on my head may be uncombed, my face may be screaming for a shave but I have the most well groomed nose around.
What are your oddities?

I am completely disgusted that most of the bread, pizza and pie crusts, cookies - contain Asian hair, swept up off the floors in barber and beauty shops, dissolved - so it doesn't even have to be listed as an ingredient (L-Cysteine). They also use pig hair and duck feathers - but the Asian hair is much more plentiful, easy to come by, cheaper...
It would take so little for people to decide that is not okay.
Nobody cares!
It is so inconvenient, especially when travelling. Yes, I can bake bread, but I have Type 2 and having the smell of baking bread wafting through my house, is a problem.
The staff of life is now made with human hair.
I'm not ever going to get over that. I'm odd that way.
I also cannot step on a manhole, or anything on the sidewalk/street that may even have the possibility of causing me to drop into the ground. I would hate it if that happened :/
I am also completely OCD at work....everything has to be zoned exact, facing front, etc. If it's even moved a tiny bit sideways, I have to fix it. My Dept. Manager asked me a few weeks ago if I had OCD lol
I stop the microwave on any number divisible by or added to make a number divisible by 4 as a tool that I truly believe makes up for any inability to cook.
I feel more comfortable sitting on a table or slightly higher than my standing height. (Tall building excluded) (houses not excluded)
I actually don't talk a lot....
All other oddities are personal.
I am sure there are others, oh yeah, I see ghosts.
