Thanks for your query, In my opinion at times nutritional deficiency especially anemia can lead to these kind of symptoms, please get your hemoglobin checked. Try not to keep any slate pencil with you at any point of time, whenever you have a desire to eat one, try to talk to some one, take a sip or two of water, and try to engage yourself in some kind of work. If this does not work, consult a psychiatrist
