I have really bad nail issues?

Question

My nails are short, stubby, bloody and gross. Every time I'm on the computer reading, I'll automatically start picking my nails. I don't bite them, I pick the nail. It's like breathing, I don't realise I'm doing it.

If I'm watching TV, chances are I'm picking my toe nails. I'll try to have socks on, but my feet get so hot so quick I can't stand to keep them on.

My nails sometimes get so short it's PAINFUL! I have no idea what to do!

I can't remember the last time my toes weren't red and swollen.

(I had to quit ballet en pointe because it was too painful on my toes)

I need ideas on how to stop picking my nails. The stuff that tastes yucky doesn't work, as I do not BITE the nails.

If you have any suggestions, I would REALLY appriciate them.

Thank you,

Answer 2

I have the habit of picking my cuticles and digging under my nails.  I would pick so much that I would peel off my naturally long nails till they eventually broke off.  I now have artificial uv gel nails.  These never lift at the sides so I really have nothing to pick.  Everytime I pick under my nails... I stop and add a cuticle balm or oil and rub it into my cuticles and hands instead.

Maybe try artificial nails.  You might be deterred from picking your nails after investing so much money on them.

Good Luck!
