Pick pick pick…
Anybody else pick their fingernails then put the nails in their pocket? I’m going through a not littering phase.

Yes I bought a nail clipper the other day to put in my keys because I pick at my nails so much!!! Ah
Yep. To the Point of bleeding.
I'm not much of a nail picker. But sort of relating...I do constantly find insects of different types on the floor in my house..some alive. Many dead or barely hanging on. I always have to stop what I'm doing and pick them up, bring them outside and put them in the ground. They need placed on their feet. Not in their backs. That way they have a chance. Yes I want the lil fellas to live...but it's also a nuisance ..always happens when it's cold, Ive just locked the doors for the next night and getting comfortable. Huge inconvenience. Have to stop Everything I'm doing at the moment. If I don't help them out, I feel I'm being judged by God. And I'm a bad person. Relating to my OCD. .I think this has more to do with a compulsion. .need feel the relief of setting them free outside. Otherwise the bad ruminations/obsessions come. Crazy stuff
yes! ive been doing this for years and im just now ealizing that its probably an ocd thing 🥴 I have pretty naturally weak nails so they split or break on the sides a lot if I'm not taking vitamins or painting them with anything, especially bc I tend to pick at my fingers and nails in general so it makes them a lil weaker. so if I find a break in one and I'm unable to get to a nail clip or file I will just rip the whole nail off plus usually my other nails bc I hate when I have just one short one. Sometimes I'll hide them in my pocket or find a bathroom and dispose of them there. I've been getting in the habit of doing my best to leave them alone until I can fix them with clippers or a file, i enjoy having my nails a lil long and pretty so it's worth it! 💅🏻
@lil' pound cake I seem to be winning the battle with picking my nails too. I don’t let it bother me and quite often I have nails now.
Does anyone notice they change clothes after they either touched something that brings anxiety or are in a situation that brought anxiety in.....even if yours clothes were not touched? This happens to mr and it gets exhausting and I change clothes more often than I need yo. I have been trying not to change clothes if they are not dirty. I am trying to sit with it for a while. How long does it take before your brain stops telling you to change clothes or do the compulsion you do?
Not like ocd compulsions but more you buy something you should not have or do some not bad but you should not have done. Examples like eating a lot of food at one time, start a random project when you need to do something else , do not do things you need to get done. Say yes thing you don’t have time to do. Can anyone else relate?
Do y’all ever forget basic needs sometimes? I have been going through a phase where I don’t drink water all day until night time and I drink so much that I hold my pee throughout the night until morning. I notice sometimes I even hold my breathe and get light headed or a headache and think something is medically wrong with me 😭or is this my ocd?
