Anybody ever pick but not on meth? Why?
OCD.
But not any more. I used to pick/chew at my fingers.
@twinklestars how did you break the habit? I read some place its a form of self mutilation
Unfortunately I doubt my response will help much. One day I decided that it was too painful and the risk of infection too high, and I just made a mental commitment not to do it. After my fingers healed it was easier to stick to, but under stress I still have to remind myself not to pull at hang nails or fiddle with my fingernails. So part of that is just taking good care of my hands so there’s nothing to pick.
I dunno. I had to decide I wasn’t going to do it. No one else could have got me to stop.
