So a friend of mine called to me today - and informed me apparantly you need at least 2 hugs a day in order to not become depressed(a mag she read)

She was annoyed because she had 1 today

Ive had 4... 2 from my hubby- and 2 from 2 nieces(1 each)

Since when did people register physical affection with depression??

How many cuddles have u had today- and are you depressed because of them???????

[Bipolar Joe]

You do get depressed from a lack of physical contact. I went through years without a hug and I'm a mess.

0 I wasn’t depressed about that before and now I am depressed thanks OP

Does she run "cuddle parties"

0 since forever. Not depressed. What a bunch of crap.

I used to hug my dog, (once I nearly strangled him, that's how much I loved him), but now I have to hug my teddy.

Did you actually strangle him one day?

Yeah, he snapped at me and I started crying. Then we forgave each other and eloped.

It's true that physical contact is good for your mental health (with the exception of violence obviously).

But if your friend actually believes that the rule is "two hugs a day or you'll need some anti-depressants to get you through" then she's being a bit thick.

And I always thought a "cuggle" was the name for a small polar bear. Shít, no wonder I don't get hugs as I keep refusing cuggles (where would I store them?)

[talkinyite]

Really? I haven't had a 'cuggle' in months lol

[CardBordWindow]

I think I need a hug.

[Mr Benevolent]

'Cuggle' sounds like something you'd find on Urban Dictionary that sounds innocent but involves enemas, bestiality and gambling.
