Hello iladye,
Yes, you know it yourself already – eating this big of an amount of q-tips, or any amount of q-tips (toilet paper) is really not considered usual behavior. In fact, it might be very well considered as an eating disorder called pica – people who suffer from this condition eat things that are not nutritional or cannot be considered food in any culture.
Different people have different objects they eat and it’s rarely the matter of choice or willpower to stop doing that. There is usually some psychological root behind this behavior and addressing these root problems is at least the start of understanding or even changing this. This obviously will require you to see a psychologist and it’s not only the fact that this behavior is unusual, but the potential damage that indigestible q-tips might do to you is a very strong reason to seek help.

I eat q tips as well, I’m not sure why but I just crave them everyday when I wake up and after I eat or when stressed. What could this mean

I have pica too only my craving is cornstarch and soap. I put my cornstarch in a container with bars of Irish spring that I cut up and eat it like it's lucky charms and milk :P. I dunno if I have low iron or if it's stress that triggers my pica cravings
