I my name is Serena Hope! I have the same problem as you dear friend. Compulsive staring. :) Going on 11 years now. I struggle with depression severe depression and I isolate myself. I am a stay at home momma so I don't have to be around many people. My oldest daughter started school yesterday, freaked me out because i have to be around people again and don't want her to feel embarrassed of her dear mother. If you want to chat/support....let me know....I'm here! Wish you real peace and comfort, Serena
