#pica disorder

[misfit-fox-stuff]

What's your favorite thing to chew on? I heard Fox's love chew toys.

wait is this who I think it is?-

or are creatures finding my ask box???

either way eheh I have some silly answers because I don't have access to any chew toys. I have pica so I eat and chew anything. I eat play dough a concerning amount. I've chewn rocks. My skin but only tiny nibbles. Some more normal stuff is leather and shirts. Like all over the end of my sleeves. Some of the most chew toy like stuff I chew a lot are:

My stuffed animals ears because that's how I play hehehe

Pencils

My crochet toys

Towels

Ice (only small chunks though bc of course my brain dislikes all the normal chewable things)

EVERYTHING

eating sweets with pica is like

" yeah sure that was yummy but i bet this foil wrapper is even yummier look its so shiny and bright and pretty its yummy "

*eats the wrapper*

Every time I have tummy ache I have to choose if it's the lactose I ingested despite being intolerant or if it's finally the intestinal blockage from my pica disorder

I made a new creature

I made a creature for pica since my fellas who have it don’t have a their own creature (also I specifically made the minion one for @fruityminionlover because they like minions so, :3)

(btw pos means “parent over shoulder”)

I'm hungry I want food but I also don't want to eat food idk maybe ill just eat candles again and build up more immunity to poison

as a person diagnosed with pica, here are some things i eat, either based on textures and or taste.

specifically, colored art charcoal i love it because, the taste and the sandy grainy texture it gives when you scrub your teeth together,

makeup brush handles, i enjoy breaking them and chewing them, if they are more sharp peices or they broke in larger peice's i do not swallow, seriosly it is embarasing having the emergancy room and explaining

cardboard, yummy swallow, the taste is delectable.

laundry starch, no explanation needed.

styafoam, when i was in the psych-ward, they had a little water machine for everyone or they handed out juice, i usually also ate the cup afterward.

craft paper, i have to be supervised in art class now, so they make sure i do not digest any (they cant stop me at home)

popsicle sticks, when ever i finished icecream or corndogs on a stick.

What having Pica is NOT:

○ just plopping things in your mouth for fun

○ wanting to eat leaves

○ only seen in pregnant woman

○ only in young kids

What having Pica is:

○ an eating disorder

○ can be used as a coping mechanism

○ obsessive thoughts about eating non edible things

○ constipation

○ intrusive thoughts

○ a constant need to chew

○ uncontrolling craving of non edible things

○ getting sick or poisoned from eating dangerous items

Shitpost from November lol--

For the context, Ezra has a pica disorder (amongst many other disorders--), thus he sometimes randomly eats inedible things. He does it for no reason and can't control it, the compulsion being even worse when he's stressed or anxious. It may be harmless, for example when he eats dirt, grass or paper but sometimes it's very dangerous. He already ended up in hospital after swallowing coins, cutlery, broken glass or bleach, etc... Of course Aloïs and the whole crew try to stop him when they can, but they aren't always here and it's one of the many things putting his life at constat risk.

Strange Sensations I crave:

1: taking my spine out and wringing it real good so it cracks every area and helps the pain (fuck scoliosis)

2: taking my eyes out and putting them into a glass of cold water (refreshing for dry eye)

3: Take my skin off and give it a very good scrubbing and moisturizing (no more itchy eczema)

4: taking my brain out and deep cleaning it then soaking it in an ice bath (I'm convinced this would cure my migraines)

5: Scratching behind my eyes (they are often itchy)

7: eating my many pica cravings without it causing issues (i.e. sand, foaming soap, decorative bar soap)

8: taking my muscles apart and soaking each one in a warm bath and then giving it a deep massage (bye bye achy body)

9: Pulling my sinuses out and rinsing them thoroughly (I think it would help my allergies)

10: removing my bottom jaw to give me a break from my TMJ for a while (self-explanatory)

Please reblog this and add yours so I know I'm not crazy in wanting these things. My therapist says these are symptoms from my OCD so that's fun.
