What you are doing is classified as an addiction and an obsession. It's an addiction if you can't stop doing it....you become obsessed with it. I know because I constantly pick the skin off of the palms of my hands. I don't eat the skin, but I will often chew on it and then spit it out. I can't quit doing it and my therapist has explained to me that it's just another form of addiction and OCD. There's a kind of emotional good feeling when I do it. I know.....I'm weird.
Is it normal I eat my body.
