How can I stop biting/picking my fingers?
Other than wearing gloves constantly which isn't a natural option, does anyone have any tips as to how I can stop doing this?
Answers: Bittergent spray for dogs.
My fiancee would munch through his nails down to the cuticle, and finally I drove to walmart, paid the $5.00 for the bittergent spray and made him hold his hand out and sprayed them down.
About half an hour later I hear "OH MY GOD THATS DISGUSTING!" from the other room, and his trying to rinse out his mouth for five minutes, then he was alright, but its resembling he forgot, so he went at it again, and finally, after four days of keeping the spray stuff on, his mind just caught on that biting nail makes things taste discouraging.
You may need to order it offline, I'm not sure if Walmart still carry the exact stuff I bought, but I'm sure Hartz makes some too.

You can get horrid taste nail varnish to discourage yourself from biting them, I used to use it but it tends to degrade any finger food you might eat. In the end it be just simple will power that stopped me biting my nails. Whenever I caught myself doing it I would sit on my mitt so I couldnt do it anymore. It took me about a year to stop completely though so dont give surrounded by after a week. Good Luck :) wow..i have done the same point all my life! I am 43 and still do it. I enjoy found that it is related to nervousness. Sometimes I am more anxious and that is when I confine myself doing it. I have always have probs with nervousness since i be very young. Even presently it is like an underlying disorder. What do you do? I do not know. I take profoundly of meds for various conditions but I hesitate to return with started on nerve meds...too addictive. A doctor once prescribed BusPar to settle me down. It may work for you...
this is prolly not very compassionate but whenever i catch myself doing it i just hold my hand in a fist and remind my self how bloody and stubby my fingers are when i do that
