I have this strange involuntary compulsion to stick sharps things under my finge!
Question:
I have this strange involuntary compulsion to stick sharps things under my fingernails. why?
for some reason I constantly subconciously compelled to stick things under my fingernails. I always fold up pieces of paper or bits of cloth and stick them under my fingernails to the point where the skin gets really red and pushed back and sometimes starts to bleed. I don't know if this is just some weird quirk or if other people have this same thing. I find it kind of disturbing but truly cannot help myself and have been doing it for as long as I can remember.
thanks :)

I don't think this is a self-harm thing, and nor do I like the feeling of pain. That is why this is so complexing to me. I just do it without noticing until after I've already hurt my fingers.

Yes, that is a mental health issue like cutting yourself. Please see a doc. okay? Email me for more info.
