I'm really struggling with this strange habit of eating slate pencils every day, and I'm not sure how to stop. It's gotten to the point where I need a box daily. Do you think taking calcium tablets would help with this? I'd love any advice you can offer.

I've got a bit of a sensitive issue and not sure how to handle it. Lately, I've been having these intrusive thoughts about my mom, and it's really distressing me. I find myself feeling aroused in the evenings and imagining things I definitely shouldn't be about her. I'm worried if this is normal or if theres something wrong with me. It's really confusing and I just want to understand why this is happening and how I can stop these thoughts. Could you help me make sense of this?
