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 have suggestions on how to stop picking at their scalp?
does anyone else just count for no reason? like their steps or how many times they move. just a few minutes ago i was scratching an itch on my leg and and caught myself counting how many times i scratched😂😂 and recently i’ve just been counting to ten randomly just in my head it’s so random or if i catch myself tapping on something i tap ten times. i got rid of it kind of like i used to do things 37 times or 3 times or 7 times 😂 3 and 7 or just the number 37 was the number for about like 10 months it was BAD. and i also have to turn on a light switch the right way but i don’t know what the right way is tho and it never feels right so i have to literally stop myself and walk away but i usually end up coming back cs ill think about like an hour from then and how ill have this weight on me because i didn’t turn the light switch the right way or the right amount of times but then i literally usually always forget about it so like idk am i weird orrrr does anyone else do thissss 😬😬😬😬
I’m having some trouble believing that reducing skin picking is really achievable. It’s been part of my life for a long time. Is it really possible to get it under control?
