Is It Normal?
What do you think?
I hate it but i cant stop..
I have some weird thing (a diagnosis) where certain things (textures especially) affect me in a different way they affect most people...

if i even look at a brillo pad i can feel it scraping my teeth, sand makes me gag if its in my hands.... sea weed makes me have a panic attack, grapes and bananas make me have a panic attack...

but it also involves eating (and swallowing) things that arent edible.... this is the worst... certain types of plastic in certain clear colors, boogers, my own fingernails, certain scented lotions, pot (weed) stems, face cleaners, and wax....

i cant stop there is no treatment for it... does anyone else do this weird sh*t. i dont do it in public... ive got that part under control... but when i'm out i will buy a piece of plastic or wax to take home and eat in private.

ive been hospitalized for drinking face soap... but i couldnt not drink it..... its a compulsion...... help


im 20 years old and have had this since I was about 3 years old.

i know it's f**ked up... so I dont need you to tell me again... i just want to know who has it and how they stop the urges.

it sounds like a combo of pica, ocd, and sid... i dont know what to tell you... it can happen with pregnant women... but you said you have been doing it for years... maybe your mom did it when you were a fetus???
i have a wierd habit because i scrape the loss skin inside my mouth on my nails then i eat it. I also do this with skin on my head. And when i touch that rubber stuff on pens it makes me fell really sick inside.
sounds like someone just needs to beat the shit out of you whenever you get caught eating crap like you do.after about 10 ass beatings youd probably figure out eating the crap wasnt worth it.....now what happens is whenever you eat something someone fawns over you and it makes you feel loved or noticed or whatever and you are reinforced in your bad behavior.


Id take a taser or cattle prod and we'd see how much plastic you'd eat after smelling your own flesh sizzle each time you got caught.

Ugh, that's absolutely disgusting. Do you have a similar condition as Mr. Poster here?
brillo pads do the same to me...they make my teeth hurt....so does cake.......(without putting it in my mouth obv. just lokking at them)
You might have iron deficiency or some form of malnourishment.
