Have bitten my nails literally as long as I can remember and ooooh man my newly grown fingernails are like THROBBING they’re begging to be bitten aaaaaa
I’ve done pretty well tho I’ve lasted like a week. I had to stop because I was chewing up skin all around the nails and bleeding and shit it had gone on too long. I took before shots to motivate myself to keep going.
I've heard that that nail polish that tastes really bitter helps.
The thing that helped the most with my trichotillomania was that in high school, my English teacher figured out I was a trichster (and either he or his spouse was a recovering one) and would yell my name or do something to surprise me when he noticed me subconsciously picking. So yeah, just have somebody yell at you when you do it subconsciously for a few months.
Problem I had with bitter polish is I'm a nasty goblin who likes bitter things. Didn't bother me at all, but also I ate soap as a child so I'm not surprised.
Just go for the "someone yelling at you" method then
I'm actually helping my fiance with her nails using that technique (at her request). As I said further up, I (mostly) got over mine by carrying a nail file and cuticle clippers with me everywhere, and keeping things smooth so I don't pick at loose skin and rough nails with my teeth
:joker-dancing: im da trichster babey!
I didn't know there was a word for that!
Oh thank god I'm not alone
