i'm still so mad that one of my friends heard a Funny Childhood Anecdote and instead correctly was like hm that sounds like it checks all the boxes for pica. i don't want to have pica. i still don't believe that not everyone eats paper and candy wrappers and just doesn't swallow most of them because they can't be digested even if they're fun to gnaw and maybe even to swallow. what the fuck do you mean you haven't eaten grass and rocks and paper and stuff. what do you mean most people don't get tired and curious and snap up mouthfuls of soap. i don't believe you and i hate that it's almost literally the entire diagnostic criteria except that I don't like the idea of a solid tangle of plastic being cut out of ly intestines so it hasn't gotten there.

#red rambles #as a child when i ate too much of my hair (easy to chew on) my mother told me lurid surgery stories and the when i didn't believe her showed #me doubly-lurid surgical photos and then dramatically acted out squeamishness as though she hadn't mulled them up and shut the page #it had an impact but i'd known how to tastethings and then spit them out for longer than that #and then later i went back outside and ate pine needles out of the backyard like any other kid #what the fuck do you mean thats basically pica 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
