Addictions

Eating dirt is a symptom of an emotional disorder called "pica," a compulsion to eat non-food materials. It is not OK. There is no way to know what sort of harmful chemicals or bacteria might be present, and it could lead to anything from infections to cancer later on in life, to immediate or prolonged poisoning. An acute intestinal blockage leading to extremely painful complications -- even death -- is possible.

No. Don't eat dirt. If you have these compulsions, you should discuss them with a counselor or other professional.

An uncontrollable dependency on a drug refers to a situation where an individual has a strong physical or psychological reliance on the substance, leading to difficulty in controlling or stopping its use despite negative consequences.

Caffeine is addictive because it stimulates the release of dopamine in the brain, which creates a feeling of pleasure and reinforces the behavior of consuming caffeine. Over time, the brain becomes accustomed to this increased dopamine release, leading to a tolerance for caffeine and withdrawal symptoms when consumption is stopped. This cycle of reinforcement can contribute to caffeine addiction.

I eat raw flour. I've been looking on the net and have found out that alot of people do eat it.

I once was embarrased about it and didn't tell no one about it but my mother and sisters. And NO I'M NOT PREGNANT!! Nor am I crazy. It's a craving just like cigarettes,sugar,chips,dirt,chalk,clay,tissue,starch, or some kind of candy that you maybe a craver for. I crave it alot when I finish eating. Or if I think about it. I didn't choose to be addictive to it. I started craving it when I got pregnant with my first child. Whenever I get upset before I know it I'm eating a couple spoonfuls of it. If anyone out there reading this and know what I'm talking about please reply. Or if you know what I can do to stop this Plaese reply.

To eliminate anger from your life requires forgiveness. Try to recognize the things or people who have made you angry and then forgive them. It's as simple as that. Understand that the people who have done things to hurt you did so for lots of different reasons, forgive them and move on. We seldom have control over the things that happen in our lives but we do have all the power over how we will let them effect us. The hardest thing to do sometimes is to forgive yourself. Just know that guilt follows something that you have done wrong and pain and anger is natures reminder to you to not repeat the act again. Forgive yourself and go and sin no more. You said "temper." Temper is a chronic condition, anger can be but is not always. Temper is the predisposition or the predilection toward anger. For simple anger, forgiveness is about all that is necessary. Temper is another matter. When a person has gotten tot he point that his natural reaction to certain stimuli is anger, he has entered a new category of description. It is highly possible, perhaps even likely that he has become addicted to anger. Anger is a powerful thing. It give its wielder strength he would not normally have. Both physical due to the adrenalin rush, and emotional because anger and rage block out or supercede all other emotions. It is the fight of the fight or flight response. In many cases, the person with a temper will lose the flight portion of the response and it becomes a fight or fight response. he may even seek out experiences and stimuli that make him angry.

So, the is, stop it. Do what ever is necessary to stop the behavior. Continuing will drive everyone away who is important to you. Get some counseling. Learn to meditate. Take up a more constructive, positive hobby. If the behavior rises out of BPD or PTSD, get treatment. Just do what is necessary to fix it. What that is is different for everyone. Me, I use the internet and questions to help me defuse.

The study of human behaviour has found many practical uses in society. Among them are using it to help depressed people, using it to solve social akwardness, using it to solve crime by predicing criminals (Behavoural Analysis Unit of the FBI for example, in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police they have profilers that use human behaviour to help capture criminals), they have used it to see why people are socially awkward, to define and help people with hundreds if not housands of dissorders and psychological syndromes (Post-Trauamtic Stress Disorder, Attention-Deficit Dissorder, Hyperactive Attention-Deficit Dissorder, Stockholm Syndrome, Split Personality Dissorder, Asperger's Syndrome, ect.,), and many many otyher uses. It has even been used to help figure out why people turn out how they do, and explain human actions, therefore helping prevent un-wanted human actions such as murder.

Unlike Methadone, Suboxone (buphrenorphine) calms the craving for opiates without getting the individual high. That makes it extremely effective in substitution therapy for getting individuals off drugs without the accompanying physical discomfort of withdrawal -- which is horrible -- while minimizing the liklihood of abuse.

It should not be used long-term, however. Recent research has shown it to be very effective when combined with psychotherapy and other supports over periods of about three months, after which it is discontinued.

We must remember that Suboxone does not remove the addiction. It merely makes it possible to live with while remaining relatively uninmpaired. Eventually it must be tapered off and discontinued if full recovery is to be achieved.

Methadone is a synthetic opioid. Its primary use is in drug addiction rehab, for detox and maintenance. It is also used to treat pain, most often chronic pain.

Methadone affects the body in ways similar to morphine. It attaches to opioid receptors in the brain, spinal column and peripheral tissues and organs to attenuate pain, and provide relief of anxiety, and also has sedative properties. For some it can cause nausea and/or vomiting, sweating, drowsiness - all the same side effects of morphine.

Methadone is reported to have certain effects on the heart, primarily to do with heart rate, arrythmia, or prolonging the QT interval. These effects are more common when too high a dose is prescribed or when moving to a significantly higher dose. For those taking 80mg daily or less, this is rarely a concern.

I found the worst effects were excessive sweating and difficulty staying awake while reading or watching tv, doing anything not very stimulating.

Finally, it can be very hard to stop methadone. It gets stored in the body's tissues, and the time it takes to detox from methadone can be very prolonged, and for some has been worse than heroin. The withdrawal symptoms are less severe than heroin, but the duration is prolonged. Clinical detox is indicated.

Addiction is about mood-altering: changing the way we feel -- ultimately by changing our brain chemistry. We can do this by drugs, alcohol, physical activities, and just about any other behavior that is capable of taking us away from ourselves for a period of time. There are as many different potential addictions as there are things that will mood alter.

More useful is this catch-all description of addictive behavior: something that you keep on doing even though it is causing life-changing consequences. This applies equally well to all addictive issues.

It may be considered binge drinking if you consume a large amount of alcohol in a short period on those 2-3 days. If you find it difficult to limit your drinking on those days, it may also indicate problematic drinking behavior. It's important to monitor your alcohol consumption and seek help if you feel it's becoming a concern.
