A lot of conscious effort to not put my fingers near my mouth! I have a lot of anxiety and whenever I was bored or anxious I would start to bite. I’ve wanted to stop for years, but what made me really quit for good was investing into my nails, if that makes sense.

As soon as they were long enough to do so and my cuticles healed, I got a manicure to get them shaped evenly, which definitely motivated me to keep going because they actually looked nice. I began to use nail strengtheners because years of biting really make my nails brittle. My holy grail nail product is the Bliss Kiss nail and cuticle oil. It comes in a large dropper bottle and a portable pen. Investing actual money into the health of my nails was so worth it, and really helped me stop. The cuticle oil especially changed my nails and cuticles for the better.

If you need any more advice or encouragement, message me! I’d love to help :)

I imagine starting will be the hardest part. What I would do if I were you is grow them out a little bit more and then invest in some press-on nails (I recommend Impress because they're the easiest). It necessary that you get a bit more length going though otherwise the press-on's won't have anything to stick to. If you're a guy and/or you don't normally like feminine nail styles, you can get nude colors and clip them so they're not long and so the decorative/white parts aren't showing.

If I were you, I would get quite a few packs. A dozen or so you have plenty of nails. This will cost a bit of money, this method has worked for me when nothing else has though. For $100+ it was worth it... I've picked at my nails for about 21 years as well. My guess is that you'll want to pick them/ bite the press-on's off at first, so it will be helpful to be able to put a new nail on right away when you slip. But hopefully, with time, you can retrain your brain to have calm hands. For me, it also helped to see my hands look beautiful for the first time ever. It really motivated me to stop.

​

Edit: Also, someone mentioned acrylic nails which isn't a bad idea either. Acrylics are almost impossible to peel off by hand (at least for the first week) whereas press-ons you could remove the same day. However, I prefer the press-ons because (a) they're cheaper so if you break and bite your nails, you can easily replace it (b) they won't destroy your nails beds (c) they're a lot more convenient.

Lol, Im glad to be a the bearer of good news. Heres the one I use, works fine, and although its small you only need a little bit to flood the cuticle.

If you want to go all in, I also make my own cuticle oil so the skin dries up less, so I dont feel the need to pick at it. I use a mix of jojoba oil w/ vitamin e oil to make it the consistency I want. While its not completely necessary, vitamin e is good for your skin and thickness for application/less runoff. Then put it in a brush pen for easier application and potability so I can have one wherever. You dont need to use the exact ones I have, just this is what I ordered.

Onyx Professional"Stop The Bite"... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005HGWH26?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

This is the one I have and it works super well. You’ve got this! I’ve been biting my nails my whole life and I’ve managed to stop for about a month twice. After one application of the nail polish I haven’t had to reapply because I’m just too proud of the progress I’ve made to bite again

thank you for the positive words. I have been struggling with this for 20 something years now. It mostly stems from my anxiety, I found that using hockey tape can help curb/control the biting, but I know now that the root cause is all internal (psychological).

Lately Ive been trying out Yoga, it's been helping me feel calmer but because I'm in the middle of finals in University, it's been hard to stay calm and so I keep biting my nails out of nervousness without even knowing it! Sometimes Im not even sure if I can completely end it, perhaps only manage it or reduce it to a minimum, because I have "broken the habit" a few times now, but it has always come back.

Ok, those are pretty bad! I've had one or two fingers look like that, but never a whole had! I quit by You Mavala Stop. Then I had a problem with picking, which I stopped by keeping my nails manicured--either acrylic or dip. I might be fine with nothing now, but I'm afraid to try! This was my before.

This stuff tastes disgusting and has been the closest I’ve ever been to quitting.
