stop picking at my cuticles

...yeah right. I have told myself this since I was little. I don’t know what it is but I just love it. It feels good in an odd way. It’s an OCD, Onychophagia. And what is really odd it that I only do it on one nail. Here an there I’ll pick at the others, but one I always pick on. It’s pleasing for whatever reason. And on TOP of that I pick at my gums too! ARG! Gotta stop someday.

is it bad i cant even remember when i started?

I don’t know why I do it, it hurts and looks really bad, and makes the fact that I have grown my nails totally redundant!

Over the summer I had nice fingers and cuticles. I was proud to paint my nails and show them off. But since school has started, there has beena a lot of stress. It’s my senior year of high school and I’m more stressed than ever. I’ve noticed my fingers are also worse than they have ever been. It must be a nervous habit. That, cracking my knuckles and swallowing. i think I need to add a goal to my list: make a list of things that calm me down when I am nervous.

I forget how long ago it was when I stopped picking my cuticles, but I’m still not doing it.

It’s so nice to not have painful spots on my fingers. I hope you guys keep at it!

Still haven’t got that stupid manicure like I said I would. Lol.

I give up. Ok? I’m never going to have pretty hands. Even if I stop biting my nails and picking my cuticles, they will always be covered in paint or pen, or blackened with charcoal, or smudged with pencil. So basically, I give up on tryin gto have pretty hands. I don’t need to.

utter, utter failure. trying to get back on the horse, YET AGAIN.

i had a good run going for this one… probably at least a week or two. guess I get to start over again.

A close friend told me a few days ago that this habit of mine really freaks him out. Still didn’t motivate me to stop…

Le sigh.

still picked at my cuticles BUT i remembered to use cuticle cream again! yay! lets see if i remember in the midst of finals…
