Giving it a try
13 months ago
Happy to know there are pickers like me out there. Right now every single finger is raw most with sores. I pick out of nervousness and boredom. When they start to heal it’s worse because the scabs are dry and tempting to pick. I used to have acrylic nails (which are thick) and that prevented me from doing too much damage. Now I can’t afford them or want the maintenance; I just want to be not embarrassed by the condition of my hands or the fact that they are always in my mouth. So I’m keeping my nails really short and filed low and using Burt’s Bee’s Almond Beeswax Cream at night with gloves. I’ll also pick up a stress ball for home, work and the car to fiddle with.
