This type of question is, unavoidably, rather vague. Are you a pregnant woman? Developmentally disabled? In any case, no matter what age you are, there is a possibility that you have a medical disorder commonly known as 'pica'. It's possible that this is just pica within itself, but it is also possible that this diagnosis itself is a symptom of something bigger. Nein- don't freak out on me, mind you. This is only a possibility to begin with. I am not an official in the field of medical diagnostics. Pica must persist for more than one month where wanting to guzzle such substances is considered abnormal (that rules you out if you're a toddler). There are several treatments available to such issues as pica. Best thing to do if urges like this continue-- 1) Tell your family or friends. 2) Tell your doctor. 3) Tell your psychiatrist. 4) Have someone help you, for a while, establish whether the things you want to eat are edible or inedible. This is merely one possibility.
