Thanks Zbmom and Sophia57,
I use to never show my emotions infront of people and very rarely did let my guard down when I was in the company of people. But since Depression took over my world in 2009 I can not stop my emotions no matter what. I cry at everything no matter how little it is.
I find it hard when people notice my "sympotms" to not just laugh it off. I tend to do this. Example... I diddle my right leg if I am manic/anxious/nervous and my old manager would point that out. My Depression Support Group Leader pointed it out once and my CPN points it out too. My Mum ironically has pointed it out but its a normal thing for me to do when I am with the family as I have always done this.
Funny thing today... We (my parents and I) have just re-decorated my Sister's bedroom as a wee surprise to her while she is away. We have just got her DVD's sorted but I HAD to make sure they were in alaphabetical order. I don't think my Mum has clicked how bad my OCD is at times. She gave me funny looks and then she was telling my Dad about it and they were both laughing... not in a mean way btw!! I think cause my handwashing has calmed down they may have forgotten all about my OCD. Sorry this was off topic just thought I would share
