I'm already getting help for something else. sweatdrop Maby I could bring it up there . . . confused I've never told anyone face to face before. Infact, you people are the first ones to know at all. I'd just feel so ashamed to tell anyone in real life. sweatdrop

yes that is an eatting disorder i saw it on the tyra banks show recently.sometimes people start eatting paper to stop there stomach from growling during class(thats how it starts)or because there insucure about there weight.soon it becomes a habbit.if i were you i would try to stop before it really becomes a problem.if you cant do it alone you can always talk to your doctor about it or if your still in school you can talk to a counsler

It probably isn't as weird as you feel it is; it sounds like you might have Pica!

Its not a huge problem because I don't do it all the time, but sometimes I get this urge to eat things like paper and cotton. I just read in a magizine that this could be a disorder. Also, awhile ago someone saw me eat a piece of a paper and they said I could get sick from eating the ink. sweatdrop I'm a mess I know, but if people would be kind enough not to poke fun at me, that would rock.

Please, I want to know how to stop. One person already saw me, and I don't want to be known as a paper eater. sweatdrop

EDIT: Ok, I've tried telling people and I did manage to tell someone at school who gave me a few tips. The problem is the 'urge' to eat these things seems to be getting stronger and hitting me at random times. I had an eye exam today, and I had the stongest urge to eat the tissues on the desk. sweatdrop Before I only ever wanted to when I was alone. gonk

um do you know what paper is made out of besides trees. Well its a bunch of different garbage that is liquidfyed and then pressed into what we know as paper....

also try surrounding yourself with more food so you eat that instead

Try talking to a counselor, as many people have said before. If I were you, though, I would probably talk to my parents. Many people have already pointed both of these out, though.

I used to eat paper to get attention, maybe you are feeling neglected?
