Answers:
It's mainly out of frustration and sometimes a natural behaviour!. If
you can have a cup of tea or a coffee and keep yourselves busy
at work or at play may be you can get rid of this problem!.Try to
stop this eventually and in the days to come you will be fine!.
Probabaly you have to consult a pschiatrist/psychologist to get more
specific information!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If it is the skin around your nails that you are biting, you probably end up also putting your nail in your mouth!. I would suggest the nail polish out there that is made to taste horrible to stop nail biting!. It also may help to wear a bracelet or something else you can play with that won't be too distracting to people around you, but keep your attention, so you don't think about your nails as much!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I have a similar problem, I bite my nails as well though!. There's some stuff in a bottle that tastes nasty, I think you could get it in the chemist, it's for nails, but if you put some on the skin around the nail, you may be discouraged from biting because of the nasty taste!.
Also, put some nice nail varnish on, if you see how good your hands look, you won't want to bite them!.
You get a stress ball for your hands to play with when you're bored or chew gum!.
Good luckWww@Answer-Health@Com

i used to do this!.Two things worked for me!.
1: fake nails!.!.go ontop of your normal nails preventing you from getting to your nail or skin, and also looking lovley and reminding you you could have nails like that
2: they sell NAILBITE or something similar in chemists and stuff!.It s like a liquid you rub over your nails n skin and everytime you go to bite it you taste it!.And it tastes BAD!.like plastic n chemicals and will make you not bite again!.:)Www@Answer-Health@Com

buy yourself a nice ring!. it doesnt have to be expensive, it can just be a fashion ring!. everytime you go to bite the skin around your nail you will see the ring and want your hands to look nice!. it will also give you something to play with on your finger, other than biting your skin!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
