Omg I need to sooo bad! For some reason I could stop when pregnant, I think bc they were stronger and didn't break. My best friends wedding is less than 2 Wks away and I've been trying very hard to stop so they look decent!
Present. Ugh, my nails look like poo. With the stress from DH being away, marriage woes, my neck going out, and being sick, I gave up. I need to get back to it.
DH bought me some kind of bitter nail polish stuff but it didn't taste like anything. I forgot I even put it on. Painting my nails seems to work, but I literally have to do it every day so that I don't bite when they chip! Who's got time for that!?
Like I said in the other thread, I haven't bitten in about 3 weeks, but I still chew on my fingers around the nails.
I can link back when it all started for me- in preschool I used to always have dirt under my fingernails and they would make me soak my hands in the sink to clean them. I was missing out on the fun the other kids were having so I started to bite my nails to avoid this. It has spiraled from then.

YES! I hate when they chip. It makes me peel off all the polish and then I start biting. I do think my nail biting has some sort of OCD component because once I start I can't stop until they feel a certain way to me. It's hard to explain but maybe others understand.
I definitely need to join. I have my nails done every two weeks because I was bitting them so bad, to the point that they would bleed sometimes. I still bite them but it takes me a bit to get through the acrylic when I'm super stressed I i can bite right through the acrylic like its not there. I have to say that the acrylic slows me down though

I completely understand!!!!! I def have some OCD issues.
I remember being in kindergarten and being sad that the one girl had beautiful nails and I didn't.
My hypothyroidism makes my nails so brittle. The meds for the hypothyroidism make me anxious. It's a bad cycle of biting my nails off!

Edit - sent too soon
That's what my nails were like 3 weeks ago, I was doing okay but then with my mom being sick I just didn't care and went at them like crazy.
