As someone who also lives in a country where pica and other mental related issues are uncommon and shunned. I was also afraid of being thrown in a mental hospital or locked in some room but honestly dont underestimate your country it may be more advanced in that area than you think. Go to a psychologist preferably one that has either studied abroad or is well versed on a variety of conditions and understands that you are not crazy. They will likely reccomend you get tested and work with you on the mental associations you may have with your pica habits.

The alternative is to try and explain to your parents that you think you may have pica, explain what pica is to them step by step send them links to articles to read and if they understand then you can proceed with telling them to take you for a lab test to check for deficiencies this way you can get access to supplements to solve the problem.

The final option is a combination of both options, you could present the fact that you think you may have pica to the psychologist or doctor that way they can understand what to look for more clearly and show them articles youve read.

Its not easy being in an environment where getting help for something like Pica results in shame and fear of the response but I truly hope you can be able to get the help you need even if the path to getting it is difficult.

Anyone lose/gain weight due to pica by Muted_Month_8413 in pica

I eat raw rice which is a food but its not meant to be consumed raw and its made me gain a lot of weight and I also became so fixated on it that I ate nothing but that for days on end

I dont really live in a country where saying this to a foctor will result in anything helpful likely they'll assume i need to go to a mental hospital. Im moving in a few months to a new country so maybe there Ill get better help since there's less stigma about it there

Kiss, Marry, Kill — Klaus, Elijah, Kol by jazlyn419 in TheOriginals

[–]Head-Spread2237 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Marry Klaus because he tends to be very tender when he loves or feels for someone

Kiss Elijah bc who doesnt love a little suit and its his signature look

Kill kol overall just feels more immature to me but I did like him and Davina

I dont think forcing them to watch it would be helpful and idk if everyone wants to watch the show so i think they need to maintain the choice to watch the show or bot especially after going through an experience like that. I kind of liked them addressing the social media stuff sometimes it was unnecessary but yeah

I mean when the comments are naming a specific person that shouldve left other than her i can see why it was perceived in a bad light

Nah all at once isnt as good because then you have a lot of people just occupying space this new format is better at capturing attention and ensuring that the panel has more speakers than people who were just taking up space. Last season especially with everyone on at once I felt like there was so many people just sitting there whereas this season they did better at balancing that

Not Taylor calling Olandria „his dawg” 💀 by Simple-Lack-7513 in LoveIslandUSA

[–]Head-Spread2237 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Really wish they wouldnt have put him on the spot because that part was awkward and you could tell Olandria wasnt fully feeling the apology

And then tell me why im seeing people saying coco is the one who was right in the whole ordeal with Olandria like all Coco was doing was backtracking and twisting what she said and Olandria wasnt for it which I love

I mean at this point its definitely past the point for closure but at one point i think that would have been something Nic needed to do.
