Does anyone out there have the same bad habbit as me?....more details next.?!
Question: I have been doing this ever since I was a kid and I don't know why. I have a habbit of scraping the skin off around my thumbnails with my fingernails. I try to controll it but I sometimes do it and I don't even notice. My husband catches me and smacks my hand so I stop...not in a mean way though. It just gets bad sometimes an my thumbs bleed a little. I find myself doing it more when I am a little stressed....but I still do it on a daily basis. Please help...I need to know of a good way to break this habbit....and is there anyone else with a similar problem. Thanks!!!!

i totally do the same thing. my cuticles around my thumbs are ripped up, and its painful at times. and they occasionally bleed when i picked them too far down. i usually do it when im bored or stressed. ill bein a class and ill catch myself picking at my cuticles. for example haha right now my thumb's cuticles are kind of scraped up. i try really hard to stop, too, and im still looking for a good idea to stop. it always helps me if i or someone else catches myself doing this, i snap a rubber band or hairband on my wrist. not that hard, just hard enough to get yourself to stop doing it for a while. and after a while of not doing it, you should be able to stop at least temporarily. lol i am sorry if i didnt help at all but i hope i did! xoxo
my daughter had this really bad habit and i had her wear gloves so she would stop. out of site out of mind theory. She did great until after some time thinking she would be over it she took off the gloves and went right back to it. Then i thought of the latex gloves where she could see her fingers but was contious enough not to take the off so she would stop. That way she got use to seeing her fingers and not being able to touch them. This helped alot and now she does not need to wear the gloves. Hands may sweat more but overall it worked for her.
put tape on that spot :) that what my mom did when i use to bite my nails
