hello tmachoga...
thanks for your query...
you have stopped eating food & started eating paper.. this will surely cause you problems like starvation symptoms, hypoglycemia, electrolyte imbalance & malnutrition... and you may need urgent medical attention... so i think stopped doing that and kindly consult any physician for as early as possible.. take help of your family members.... do not skip water intake... its an emergency situation... you could not survive for long time on eating papers alone...
after seeing your entire history... you already eaten 200 sheets... it may cause intestinal obstruction...
sincere advice if possible consult nearby psychiatrist too...
take care...
