Cant stop thinking about chewing on pennies
« on: August 14, 2009, 02:02:05 AM »
Every day and sometimes every couple minutes my mind automatically starts imagining chewing on pennies or other hard or sharp objects like rocks or marbles. Each time this happens I get a full body shiver/goosebumps. It seems to be getting worse. Or I will start imagining sliding a fork between closed teeth.

Is there a name for this disorder? Or any kind of case studies?

I'd check with a dentist before a psychologist, might just be some kind of nerve problem in your mouth.

Mouth is fine. I take great care of it.

Somehow my brain is taking advantage of the fact that I am easily moved to get full body shivers and goosebumps just by thinking about something.

in which case you should be able to induce the goose bumps and body shivers by thinking about them.

A strange and unique disorder to be sure.

Do you then do those things that you imagined? Or do you just imagine?

replace pennies/hard objects with gum and edible objects.

That is the best disorder I've heard in years, hands down.

That makes my teeth hurt thinking about it. Try gum like drywaterdrywater said AND check with a doctor too. Maybe they can also tell you what could be the underlying cause and I agree with voodoo scientist, that is the best disorder I've heard of too. Its unique, and intriguing.
