I Don't know how to get thru the rest of the day without ice so I am freezing less harmful stuff like fruit.
I was thinking that maybe I should get out knitting or beading to keep my hands busy for the next few days. If I get thru a week or so I think I will be fine..Then off to the Dentist to get the damage fixed. I will have alot of root canals that will have to be done on my back teeth because of ICE DAMAGE...Thank GOD I didn't hurt the front ones.

I had stopped until my brothers cancer diagnoses and it got really out of control since his funeral.

Evie, you will be in my dreams. Think about me in yours. We're both in touch. I will send you a special message tonight, just when I fall asleep. Can you send a photo please Evie of you via PM? You know what I'm talking about..

Evie, I never realised it was such a problem to you.
Can you treat it the way you treat any addiction? I.e. abstain until the compulsion leaves? I know that is easier said than done...but maybe it is worth a go?
A few days determination and discomfort and then freedom maybe?

Evie, if I concentrate on a photo and ask the universe for help, it usually happens. I don't care if anyone reading this thinks I am an idiot.

Starts, I know what Evie is saying I think. It's not like a normal addiction.

Hard to explain. I feel really relaxed while I'm eating it ...I love the coolness in my throat...the sound

but the pain after wards is unbearable...I have abscess in my molars on both back sides and ear infections. It is almost life self mutilations. I think it all started because of anemia from pancratitis
It's a disease called Pica
Then it became an Obsessive compulsive disorder that I am so DONE WITH !!!
I am having serious withdrawal here...honest I AM !!!

Shit mate. Have you read my posts over the last couple of days. I am nuts. Thankfully for Starts and others you strangely love me, I have come back. I actually wrote a post tonight for others who may feel abandoned when they first get onto Starting Out.

Thanks Pan, I know it will help. It is an Addiction ........It started with a medical cause but turned into an addiction just like any other.
Startsy, I have asked for help before but people just blew me off thinking I was kidding.
I want this to stop and I will keep trying until I figure out how to stop it. It isn't easy ...just like any addiction ...it has you in it's grip.

Oh, by the way, I know I'm not nuts. It's everyone else who thinks so.

How about imagining Evie with a healthy mouth and no need for ice?

Evie, the links that Cy posted earlier, did any of those have any advice?
I have never heard of this before so I am going to research.
But I do know certain anti depressants can help with OCD behaviour...
