Is it normal that i eat paper? Im sure its easy to digest, if you get the slightest of water on it it crumbles, i havent really told anybody until now. IIN?
This.
It's a legitimate condition called pica. It can stem from a few things, either an undiagnosed mental condition revolving around obsessive behavior or an actual nutrient deficiency, where your body is making you crave nutrients that you seek out in shit that's not food. It could be a deficiency or a malabsorption issue.
Either way, eating paper is really bad for you. First of all, large quantities of paper aren't digestible & they can clog up your digestive tract to the point where you might need emergency surgery.
Second, commercial papers are treated with a metric fuckton of noxious chemicals, so ingesting them is not a good idea, dude.
You absolutely should not do this. I get that it's embarrasing, but it might be a psychological issue & not a mental health issue. Don't be worried about telling your dr. They've seen much worse, like people who ram actual pickle jars up their butts. It'll be fine.
But it's bad for you. If you can't stop, get some help. There's no shame in that.
I’m pretty curious to what type of paper you eat. Do you prefer a certain type like copy paper or loose-leaf? Or you don’t care as long as it’s paper?
Je pense que c'est normal si tu es une chèvre d'un pays pauvre.
Si tu es un humain vivant dans des conditions correctes ce n'est pas normal.
I've known a lot of people who have admitted to doing this, so probably more normal than you might think. Bit it is not healthy.
No from me , but I used to eat paper alot until I was like 17 ; so I can't really judge.
I think it's normal but unhealthy.
I've had many classmates and friends who since childhood, till now they still eat paper. They even eat chalk.
