hi im sorry to put this anonymous in the serious forum but i could really use some help more than ridicule.  for many years now ive had compulsions to chew on or ingest odd things.  plastic, erasers, wood, paper, cloth...

i never went through the "normal" weird stuff stages.  i never chewed my hair, i bit my fingernails but i quit, never ate crayons, and never once ate a booger.

im wondering what that kind of thing means.  im healthy, i havent found any unhealthy effects, and its not like i dont eat normal food.  is this a condition or just a quirk?
