Ok, does anyone else have this problem:
I bite the skin around my nails and I pick at the skin. I used to bite my nails, but stoped. I read research that people that have had Ed are nail biters and whatever. So anyone do this?
Just wondering, its really getting on my nerves and I want to know how to stop. Is it a nervous habit?
Thanks ya

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...

Like someone suggested, get acrylics, but only temporarily- if you get them for long periods of time, your real nails weaken severely. A lot of people recommend putting nail polish on your nails, so maybe put some clean nail polish on the skin around the nails.
Also, you can work with a therapist to stop. The thing that has helped me briefly in the past is finding something else to do with my hands and becoming very aware of when I'm chewing.
I'm a wreck! Haha, not really.
I dunno, I also like tight rings on my fingers or chokers on my neck, anything tight.....
that has to do with my disorder and being
selfconscious
