My strange addiction is that I suck my fingers and I play with the tags of 3 bears while I’m sucking my fingers… I have been sucking my fingers for about 20 years… Since I was a baby. As a baby I never would suck a pacifier, I just would suck my fingers… I am now 20 years old and still do it… I never thought it was a big deal but everybody around and my family keep telling me how I’m messing up my teeth and social life. I have tried stopping but I cant. I suck my fingers every night to help me go to sleep or else I can’t sleep. I do it when I’m watching tv and before I do anything thing else. I have to stop and suck my fingers for a couple of seconds. I will like to try and to stop but so far every time I’ve tried I cant do it. I can’t go a few hours with out sucking my fingers or I get nervous.
My strange addiction is I eat the skin off my fingers. I chew off the patches of skin where my fingernails are and off my thumbs and index fingers. It’s just like chewing your nails although it’s my skin and I actually swallow it. It’s highly awkward and unattractive in public and I get lots of stares from strangers. My friends told me I should get some help so I decided I would go to you guys.
I am addicted to picking at my skin, eating tissue paper while i sniff nail polish remover.I started with eating tissue paper when i was younger and i went to sniffing cigarettes that was still in the pack and from there i started sniffing rubbing alochol now im at sniffing nail polish remover. I have messed up my teeth because of the tissue, my memory has gone alilttle. i can not stay focus for a long period of time.. i have 5 children and it is really affecting them mental.. I can not keep a relationship because they say that im crazy mentally. I know that the things im doing is killng me but i cant stop.
my strange addiction is, i bite my taste buds until my whole tounge is ciompletely bleeding and i swallow them also after im done eating my taste buds i have to eat something salty amd have that burning sensation. The pain of me biting mt taste buds is like an adrenalin rush for me and i manley do it when im very anxious and at night when i watch t.v. Nobody knows about this because i really didnt think it was that serious of a problem until i started watching the show my strange addiction then i started wondering more about what problems i could be causing for myself by eating my taste buds until my whole tounge is completly bleeding and then eating some food that burns my tounge,mainly salt and vineger chips. I feel like sometimes i could be wearing my front teeth down and if i loose my teeth thats it i will loose my mind. My teeth are one of my best traits, thier no perfect but their no messed up badlt to the point where i have something wrong with my teeth to the point where its noticable.
I am addicted to rubbing the plastic on the remote controllers. I’ve been doing this sence I was 11 I lost relationships and family memebers because of this I go almost everywhere with my remote.
