I'm a 14 yr old girl with a great life most of the time, not much drama and i do well at school with stress only during the really big tests so i dont understand why i bite my nails and do so till they bleed. I've bitten my nails since i was little and recently I have been trying everything i can think of to stop. The one main thing I've figured out is this addiction to biting my nails overcomes my willpower.

I have never had nails. I cant peel an orange or pick up a quarter, biting is something I've always done. Whenever I see white it just has to go! ill bite my toes even. Whenever I had a professional job interview or college interview, my dad would always tell me "Make sure you sit on your hands!" even as hard as I would try I would always somehow subconsciously find my hand in my mouth.
Interestingly, when I was pregnant I stopped biting my nails. However, when I was no longer pregnant I began again. The nails come in stronger during pregnancy and I think hormones are involved in this somehow. I also find that if I cut out caffiene the biting can lessen a lot.
Too bad I love coffee.
I find that if I get a ragged edge on my nail, I am completely unable to combat biting and of course that just makes it worse.
Is it bad or dangerous to eat your finger nails during pregnancy????? It's a bad habit I've always had. I'm only 17 weeks. Help.!
I'm 21 years old man.I have a strange habit of biting my fingernails and playing with them in my mouth and finally i used to bite them to pieces and chew them. I have been doing these for years. I'm weighing 52 kg. Many say that 52 is very less for my age. I haven't seen any improvement in my weight for 5 years. Is my underweight is due to chewing fingernails. I used to skip breakfast for nearly 8 years.
My reasons for biting my skin and nails i believe is because i am constantly anxious and over think things in my head which cause me to be stressed out. My main problem at the moment is with this habit and it is most probably due to the fact that i have some kind of obsessive disorder where i see putting my hands to my mouth as a means of comfort and self soothing and to be honest that is exactly the type of relief that i get when i do it.
I have a nail biting problem.
My nails are chewed down past my fingertips. My ring fingernails are shortest, at about an eight of an inch long. The skin where my nails used to be is scarred and ugly. Despite the intense pain and bleeding, I can't stop biting my nails. When I can't get a grip on the nail with my teeth, I find myself picking at them with a knife, nail clippers, pencil, or whatever's on hand.
I've tried nail polish.
I'm a high school kid who has experienced depression and is currently experiencing anxiety. You see, I used to have long, strong, thick nails. I was quite proud of them (mainly because they were my main self harm tools). But, due to anxiety, I started biting my nails down. Now, they don't even grow past the tip of my finger. I always keep them super short. I also bite off the skin around my nails, and try to tear away my cuticles.
At hand i have 2 cuts near nails from my bad habit ( biting my fingers and took the skin near nails sometimes). The cuts were not deep , not bleeding at that moment i think were created by me 2 hours before sex..i think that condom had fluids on it and i touched with my finger which had a cut . Is this a reason to worry or to act in some case ?
I have noticed in the past year he has had the habit of biting his cuticles to the point of cracking, bleeding and inability to heal from constant picking or chewing. Is this a normal nervous reaction that is just fleeting or should I be concerned? I read some articles re: this and recall in his youth he seemed to like having something in his mouth alot like pens or caps, necklaces or metal chains, erasers, or whatever he would pick up.
Hello, I'm a 14 year old girl in high school. I've always had a bit of anxiety, for I'm very self conscious of my schoolwork and grades (especially in math, my teachers in elementary and middle school were NOT any help and impacted my confidence in that field forever). Since I just started high school in September though, my anxiety has gotten a lot worse, and new habits came with it. I used to have strong, thick, beautiful nails when I was in middle school.
t seem to quit. For example, my worst is biting my nails and the skin around my fingers. I bite them CONSTANTLY and have tried everything to quit. (Fake nails, bad tasting nail solution, gloves, bandaids, nail polish... You name it) On top of that, I also pick the skin of my lips, bite the inside of my mouth, crack my fingers and toes and more!
I was reading online that constant nail biting and such bad habits could be classified as OCD.
t have a cut in my hand but the areas near my fingure nails have scratches ( I have a habit of cutting my nails with my mouth. Most of the time, i can't stop taking my fingures out of my mouth). Now am worried, if those nail areas are infected by the fluds on the condom. I will get tested after 3 months, but what do you think guys? am worried....
I was dragged out to the mall by my family to this make-up shop. I saw this glittery foundation make-up and I wanted to see how it matched, so I rubbed my finger on it and tried to wipe it off, but it wouldn't come off. Then, about like 5 minutes later, I started biting my nails (it's a habit of mine), not remembering/realising that I still had the foundation make-up on my finger. Now I'm scared and afraid that I might have been exposed, or even worse, contracted herpes. Help!
