Pica going crazy

If you don’t know what pica is; its an eating disorder that’s common in pregnant women and autistic children that makes you crave non edible foods. I have these hooks with rubber on it and I keep biting and chewing it off :sob:

I have the oral fixation of a vape addict and or a teething child, and I know I should not be proud of it LOLS
I’m thinking that I prob should get gum, or chew on ice instead of consuming plastic and ruining my hooks

just wanna find anyone else who has pica lol

Literally all my pens look like my dog got to them :skull::skull::skull::skull:

Gum helps so much, but if you need something that’s a little firmer you may need to use more gum or find like really stiff gum

Help that’s actually sort of impressive if I tried to do that I think I’d choke, even if it’s a microscopic piece-
It looks like a sweet tart rope-

They make oral chews for adult. They’re meant to not hurt your teeth but also not break apart.

This is just one of many sites with them. They’re supposed to be helpful/soothing.

Some options are more discrete than others.
