I have to sleep with the wardrobe and any drawers fully closed. Also, I am not able to sleep staring at a mirror.
likewise. wardrobes are a haven for monsters and ghosts.

mirror wise.....when living with the olds, my old room featured a large wardrobe with 3 sliding mirrors. used to face them while sleeping cause it permitted me to see the whole room in case of intruders

I've been dealing with depression for over 10 years, the last 3 had been incredibly challenging. I would often fantasise about killing myself and how I might do it.

At the start of the year my wife told me she was pregnant and my first thought was "damn, I can't kill myself now".
Not uncommon for someone who has depression, but definitely an indication that you still have to work on your depression.

When I was depressed but unaware, I would often think to myself, every day maybe every few hours of the day, "jeez I wish I could kill myself" something along the lines of that, but never really thought much of it, and thought it was pretty normal. In hindsight, definitely not normal, and I definitely had issues to resolve.

Nowadays, I don't really have that mindset, and it's definitely the depression that's doing that sort of thinking.

Hope things work out for you :thumbsu:

Ever since I've heard the Bloody Mary story, mirrors just give me the creeps.

Instead of plugging my headphones into my phone and then putting the buds in my ears, I put them in my ears and then plug the jack in.

I also deeply worry for a few seconds that someone will take a picture of me and I'll be 'that guy on the internet with headphone buds in his ears but the jack not connected to anything'.
