Self harm using fingernail for 6 years and control (come here and share your story!)
I often peel the skin off around my fingers using nails. I don't even notice when that happens, when I noticed, they become bleedy and hurt. This has been with me for 6 years, I tried many things, but doesn't work.
I tried to a lot and they get better from 10 fingers all bleedy till now only 4 fingers that I can't control!
Recovery is hard and thought, but it will take a long time. Please keep trying!
However, I was cutting skins using a knife, it's easier to control, just don't let the knife be in your sight.
Come and share your stories, let's say if there is anything I can help you !

Hi Cola! I am so proud of you that you are improving with your self-harm around your fingers! It's hard for me to think of it as self-harm, but I tend to pick the skin around my fingers and my lips. It can really hurt and I get some bad scabs sometimes, but it's also comfortable in a weird way. I wish you the best of luck!
