So, I've seen a lot of confessions here over the years about 'I do X when I'm Y' and they're often met with reply's like 'Me too anon'
Well I could do with some validation so I thought I'd try my luck.

When I get particularly depressed (Like 'dark thoughts' kinda depressed) and I feel I'm struggling to cope, I have a tendency to climb under my bed and close my eyes. It helps. Never did it as a child and now I'm nearly 30 I have no idea at what point I started to do it, why I do it, or why it helps. but there it is fandom secrets, the weird shit I do. Someone wanna tell me YANA? Or am I a very odd duck?

I used to climb into a (very small) closet close the door and curl up when particularly depressed. Don't know why it helped but it did. And yeah, never did anything like that as a child. Honestly? If I fit under my bed I'd probably consider doing that too.

We can be odd ducks together.

Oh that's good. It's an odd compulsion, I know, but I'm glad I'm not alone.

Also #Moo#
(I was going to say #Quack#, but a duck that moos is far odder.)

i did this too

under my bed wasn't spacious enough to wiggle in and was too dusty

Not under my bed (I'm too afraid of getting stuck), but dark enclosed spaces do comfort me.

Is this a recognised thing, I wonder? Something like the opposite of claustrophobia?

It is a technique used by some therapists, I reckon, because for some, it represents safety and it helps people calm down.

I used to sleep in my closet. I don't know why, but now I have to wonder if it was a comfort thing, being contained and knowing I was 'safe' and could see anything coming after me.

...Under the covers, or under the actual bed? The former is not that strange, but the latter is pretty odd unless you're a dog.

Under the actual bed. On the floor with the wooden base of the bed above me. It's a pretty tight fit.

Like the anons above me, I too will crawl into my wardrobe when I have a panic attack. I think it has something to do with the fact that its a small enclosed and private space where nobody can ever get to me.

This reminds me of Niles Crane from Frasier, how for a period he would sit under Frasier's piano when he was depressed or stressed out. I thought it was adorable :)

If it helps you and doesn't have any negative consequences to you or other people, I don't see what could possibly be wrong with it.

I do the closet thing when in a certain mood. For me it has to do with hiding. I get this feeling like everyone can see me is watching me and idk I just want to hide away to feel safe.

Not for depression but for anxiety I hide under the covers in a dark room. I've thought about sitting in my closet, but there's no room. :-/ So, no, you're not alone. :-) Oh, and I'm 21.

I bury myself under blankets

+1 me too

If my bed didn't have dog hair under it from my dog always sleeping under there, I would do the same thing. I usually opt for going under the covers and have thought about hiding in my closet as well, but my door doesn't close all the way. I don't think it's all the weird, Anon. Sometimes the dark/enclosed feeling helps everything else fade away and just leaves you with you. And it's quiet since nothing happens under there.

I go and sit in my bathtub. My nephew sleeps in his closet.

My therapist said it was because it creates a defensible, private perimeter. Some analysts do that whole 'womb' thing but I don't know 'bout all that. But it's related to why weight/pressure can help with anxiety (particularly for people on the autistic spectrum from what I recall)?

Dude, YA totally NA. I don't do that, but I can understand it. Safety, security, all that.
