Why do I have bad habits when I'm anxious. I pick at my lips, bite and pick at my nails and now I scratch myself, I wear my binder too long, and I always have headaches, what is wrong with me??

Feelings sometimes manifest themselves into actual physcial symptons. (Actually, your brain cant tell the difference between physically and emotional pain) and im sure when you feel anxious all of those bad habits is your anxiousness being expressed. Nothing is wrong with you!! You are perfect. :)
