Hey djsims2,

What you got is called pica, I have been diagnosed with it for years, lol. I love chalk, paper, talc, limestone rock, dried mud, and washing powder, lmao. Yeah, washing powder.

Pica (pronounced /ˈpaɪkə/ PYE-kə) is a medical disorder characterized by an appetite for substances largely non-nutritive (e.g. metal [coins, etc.], clay, coal, soil, feces, chalk, paper, soap, mucus, ash, gum, etc.) or an abnormal appetite for some things that may be considered foods, such as food ingredients (e.g. flour, raw potato, raw rice, starch, ice cubes, salt).[1] In order for these actions to be considered pica, they must persist for more than one month at an age where eating such objects is considered developmentally inappropriate. The condition's name comes from the Latin word for magpie, a bird that is reputed to eat almost anything.[2][3] Pica is seen in all ages, particularly in pregnant women, small children, and those with developmental disabilities

I've been cracking my knuckles - and wrists, elbows, shoulders, neck, back - for something like ten years now. It's gotten to the point that there's often a low level of pain in my hands by default. Bad.

For addictions... definitely coffee and tea. And for bad habits, I go to bed way too late and wake up late as well.
