Picking my skin
Hi guys!
So basically I’ve been struggling with anxiety a lot and I get very stressed in a lot of situations. Mostly when I’m having conversations or discussions (especially difficult ones) or whenever I’m thinking (about all the things I need to do/I haven’t done because of procrastination or the feeling of not being able to do something). I know that inevitably I have to work on these feelings but what I’m doing right now is just think and pick the skin on my fingers, around my fingernails. It’s so bad my fingers hurt every day, I’m making myself bleed and already have scars which never heal because I’m doing it every day. I know this stems from deeper problems but maybe someone has another idea of a quicker fix to this problem because it’s really starting to hurt me and I can’t control it mentally- it’s like an addiction.
sorry for the novel btw :)
and thanks in advance for any answers ♥️
I also have this same problem and as silly as this may seem blutac has helped me as it gives me something to fiddle with. Also it’s small enough to put on your nail bed and dog the finger into without causing harm to your self I hope this works for you
💕💙
Hi @lostonthescenicroute1001
I'm sorry that you have been struggling with anxiety a lot recently. I understand sometimes our emotions can feel overwhelming and hard to control. It's hard when a deeper problem develops when you are trying to fix the initial problem. Have you looked into fidget or sensory toys to help you keep distracted especially when having conversations or discussions?
