Stress Makes People Do Weird Things

Teresa Widener, a 45-year-old care worker from Virginia, has one of the weirdest habits in the world. See what she does to curb her stress.

Over the past 20 years Widener has eaten an astonishing 3,000 lbs of rock due to her bizarre eating disorder. Every time she becomes depressed she will pull out a rock from her personal collection and begin sucking and gnawing on it. She averages 3 lbs per week but has recently attributed her new husband’s love as helping her decrease the amount of rocks she consumes. Her strange rock craving is due to a medical condition called “Pica.”
