The newest installment of My Strange Addiction, TLC's 12-part series about people with unusual habits and lifestyles, featured a woman who eats her couch and another who enjoys wearing a big furry animal costume in public.

Adele’s a 30-year-old who began eating couch cushions when she was 10, the year her parents divorced. Twenty years later, she estimates she's polished off enough cushions to furnish a department store showroom -- seven couches and two chairs, to be exact.

"It makes me sick to eat it, but I'm still eating it; it really is out of control," Adele said, adding she's suffered health complications as a result of her strange addiction.

Then there's Lauren, the 19-year-old college student who's immersed herself in the “Furries” subculture (dressing up in furry, ornate animal costumes), and likes to blow off steam by donning a Bugs Bunny-like get-up in public.

"My self-esteem isn't the best,” she said. “Normally I'm kind of shy, but my Furries alter ego lets me bring out my more outgoing and talkative side."

My Strange Addiction airs Wednesday at 9/8c on TLC.
