Nail Biting and Dermatophagia Cure

[Colten]

I constantly bite my nails and the skin around my nails. The thing is, I dont even realize Im doing it until its too late and even then I cant resist from biting them. This is probably some side thing of my OCD. Is there any cure for this that doesnt involve doctors?

I have long, girly fingers, and girly nails to boot.

You'll probably end up with worms too.

Anyway, there's something that could help. Didn't help for me though but anyway:
There's this transparent nail polish with this horrible taste that you could try. Once you start biting you feel that taste and you won't bite them anymore.

Even though I still did, even with the polish on :V

I used to do this then one day I just stopped. o:

I do this, not as bad as you though.

Every few weeks I go overboard and bite off a huge chunk of either thumb, and I hate myself after wards because it stings for days.

lol, juvenile habits.

My brother had this problem about 3 years ago.
He said, and I quote; "I stopped when I put my mind to it that I didn't want to any longer"

It's simple as that.
When you notice your self doing it, stop.
Who cares if you're half way through a nail.
Stop.

EDIT: Jesus, that picture of your horrible nails stares into my soul.

Fukken gross

My nails are like ARC's.

[Tom Gunn]

wow you overdo it.

I also have anxiety disorder, so that could cause my fingernail biting. Maybe I should just get medication for that :o
Also Ill check out that nail stuff

[Sirrus]

ouch, holy stuff stop doing that.

I have the same problem though, with picking at my nails. I end up taking out huge chunks of my cuticles because I get hangnails and rip out the portion of my nail that borders the nail and the skin.
