Does anyone else do this-? (tw: slight blood mention)

Cicey_Kandiii 8/7/2022 06:32 pm 1249

Does anyone else bite their nails and peel their skin off their fingers until they bleed as well..? I know this is an extremely weird question but there is a reason why am asking

For awhile now I have been doing this and I have been asked about it so many times and I REALLY want to stop but when I do I get anxious and end up just giving in to my anxiety. I don't even know why it makes me so anxious but it might be a compulsion disorder. Can anyone give me some advice on ways to stop or at least cope with it?

I also apologize if this made anyone uncomfortable, it just has gotten to the point where I need help about it and I don't want to go to a counselor or a therapist for help

same . I just do it without even knowing I know I shouldn't but I can't stop myself. My nails peel and are really rough so I then i bite or chew at them to make them even (it makes them kinda worse lol) , I have cut my nails but then my nail peels more . I pick my fingers aswell (the wicks) . I can't wear nail polish because my school would kill me . I've tried wearing gloves but then they catch on my wicks and then I pick at them I hate ittt

@Cicey_Kandiii: oh, I understand with the acrylic “eating away” at your nails but I hope everything gets better, but maybe having band aids on your fingers will stop the picking
