nail chewing ... biters

[All!e]

I can't stop.

I've tried everything I swear ... just can't stop.


I'm not stressed out
I'm not hungry

I just can't stop. Anyone else suffer from nail chewing?

NO I don't bite the nails..but I chew on the inside of my lips and mouth. It gets so bad sometimes I give myself headaches.

[mojo]

boo urns to bad habits....i do both^^

[~lazee_grrl~]

i put on really gross tasting nail polish stuff called "NO BITE"..and i didn't bite my nails for 3 weeks...it was the longest it's been since about grade 4...=P

but..i bit them last night..damn..i didn't even realize it..=(

oh god. i'm the same way. no nail biting (i like my pretty nails!#%), i used to bite em though.

but my big thing is lip chewing. i'm always biting my lips and stuff and it's just bad. i try to stop but i do it without thinking. and i end up making my lips bleed and icky stuff. thankfully though, i've never given myself a headache from it..

I stopped biting my nails for a month one time, and I had almost pretty nails, but I started up again. I can't stop!!

Whatever I do. I can't stop.

I will try to stop as of RIGHT NOW though. I just need to remember to keep my nails out of my mouth. When I put nail polish on them I don't tend to bite them though. hmmm.

i've gotboth those habits. it's quite gross actually. but yeah. i dunno if i'll ever stop.

[Disco_Whore]

i suffer both, but i've found ways to quit biting the nails (not permanently though)

Usually the best way is to decide to grow them out for some special occasion (wedding, party, anything you can think of) and then give yourself 2 months ahead of that. Wear nail polish that hardens them and helps them grow and try to pamper them as much as you can so you won't be tempted to bite. It's actually quite hard, for the most part you need to realise what your doing instead of sub consiously biting.

my 2 cents

[watscum]

ive only ever stopped biting my nails for a span of about 2 months back in 9th grade.

my cuticles are always swollen and/or bleeding... :soak:

[kimmay candy]

did you know that they did a expirment! and that licking a toliet seat was way cleaner than biting your nails! I was lil grossed out by this fact! I have stopped biteing them for a while..but its really had to quit!

[craz_e_blossom]

I use to bite my nails but now I stopped and they are finally growing :D

heh... i tried that. i grew to like the flavour.

[Taddy_Bare]

I used to bite! My problem now is that my nails are so weak. :( So if they are sorta long and one breaks, I get really pissed off and cut them all!

[All!e]

the only time i was able to stop was when i was in the hospital back in march and april.

[frogprincess]

i have a bad habit, but it is so weird so i am not going to post it

LOL

haha..i actually don't mind the flavour anymore...it tastes like gross but lotsa things do~

but i want nice nails so yeah..

FP..POST IT!!..POST IT!!..=)

[sweet~kandy]

I couldnt stop for a while and my nails looked like shit but then I kept my mind on not biting them and before I knew it they were long. I just hate when I break a nail.

I just recently cut my nails so Im hoping they will grow long again...

[desiRAWR]

I've stopped!!! well...for a week so far. lol.

I've been making sure that I'm keeping nail polish on it. I'd rather chip off the nail polish than bite my nails.

I want nice nails dammit!!

[bungoshlung]

i was good fer a bit and then they were gone again. i dont even know proper nail etiquettes cuz i've never had long nails fer long.
