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.
I just answered a post in Fun & Games about favorite smells. One of my responses was tobacco pipe smoke. Most of the men in my family are/are cigarette smokers. I never liked it growing up as it would irritate my eyes and throat. Yet, when I smell pipe smoke, I find it comforting. I automatically recognize the scent. Just as scent of pancakes or something else comforts people, this scent does as well. However, I don't ever remember knowing anyone who smoked a pipe. At least, no one I can remember. So, this is a mystery to me.
pipe tobacco
Unlit regular tobacco
freshly washed clothes, dried outside
someone, anyone, cooking for me (so rare)
Just after it rains on a hot summer day
Snow and it's silence
Orchids
Dial soap (yellow kind)
the sound and smell of the ocean
peanut butter and jelly sandwiches
music on vinyl
blankets with silk on the edges
watermelon on a hot day
(but i guess they aren't really strange...)
