Something's so totally wrong with me.
Okay, something's got to be totally wrong with me.
...I have this incredible desire to eat moth balls...and clay...and get a little excited when I get to go pump my gas because I've developed a LOVE for the smell of gasoline...and a desire to drink it. Seriously. When I smell the mothballs under the cupboard [they're even in a plastic bag so there's not much smell...], I get this need almost, to eat one. If I had less self control, I'd be outside eating the red-clay-dirt, drinking gasoline, and eating the mothballs.
I KNOW that doing those things would kill me...and that's not what I'm going for/wanting...at ALL.
I just...well...I just get this overwhelming desire to ingest those things when I smell or see them. This has been going on for months, now...probably since late August or September...something like that.
Uhm...help?
My only guess as to why this is happening is because something is missing from my diet. I've heard of people craving dirt when their diet is low on a particular mineral or minerals... but that wouldn't quite explain the mothballs [naphthalene] and gasoline.
Oooor...my other guess is...I've developed some sort of OCD [or something?] about these things so that I want to put them in my mouth...like other people who eat hair or dirt or other things.
If you have other suggestions, please, feel welcome to give them...
