hey guys
i’ve been reading all of your articles because i’m now OBSESSING about stopping. your lotion idea has been really helpful, i’ve been reapplying lotion as frequently as i can and then washing my hands to apply more.
i pick them until they bleed. it’s disgusting, and the worst part is that my nails are long and pretty, but my cuticles are gross.
for the last 14 hours i haven’t touched them but i have a rubber band constantly attached to my wrist. whenever my hands are stationary, i force my fingers to play with the rubber band. i’ve had the urge and it’s ALL i’ve been thinking about. but that’s like any habit, right?

someone try it. i hope it helps! i’ve seen lotions by “control it” but i think that’s more for biting than picking because of the taste.

gah. i hate this!
