Help I pick my nose and eat it I want to stop?!
Question: Have been doing it since age 4
Answers: Have been doing it since age 4
I can relate, I have done it too. I am not totally over it, but have mostly quit because I have kids now and want to maintain a good example. Maybe always keep tissues around, even in the car. Use one when you have the urge - you will be less likely to eat it off the tissue.
How old are you ? You really need to stop
Lol,I hope this is a joke! if you old enough to type,you old enough to not eat your body waste!!I cant beleive im even answering this question!!how stupid!
Just stop. Look at yourself in the mirror every time you do it and see what everyone around you can see. If you don't think people see you doing it, think again. Do you think people like to see someone doing this?
Besides, think of all the germs that you have on your hands and under your finger nails that have been transfered from one person to the other. That is what is going up your nose and into your mouth, then into your system.
I know it's a bad habit that you have to break out of, & I know it's hard. Maybe you can ask your doctor about how to cope with this. If it's bothersome, try to seek therapy. I have an uncontrollable habit of picking my scabs, but I don't eat them.
My younger brother had this same issue. After many tests to seize this urge, I only found one solution: nail polish remover. The stuff isnt really all that hard to find, but once you do, just dab your fingertips in it and dry. Then when you feel the urge to pick n' eat, you'll get a bitter/disgusting taste in your mouth and on your tongue, which will hopefully discourage you from continuing to do this!
I hope this helped and I wish you the best of luck!
Take care,
