no matter how hard i try, i cannot stop biting them. i bite the skin around them til they bleed and i have to put bandaids on them. i have tried every nail polish that is supposed to make me stop biting them, and nothing works. i read that it could be a symptom of anxiety or obsessive compulsive disorder, and i have both of them.Does biting my nails have something to do with my anxiety disorder or my OCD?
biting your nails could very much so be a compulsive behavior that someone with OCD could engage in.
If you've already been diagnosed with OCD and with an anxiety disorder, I suggest discussing it with your doctor if your nails are becoming a serious issue.Does biting my nails have something to do with my anxiety disorder or my OCD?
You answered your own question in the comments you provided us with? I believe you are trying to get people's attention (increasingly becoming the norm in our depressed societies) but, well, look for help if you feel you need it.
:o) Best of luck!
I don't believe excessive nail biting is a symptom of OCD. It can be boredom, stress related, diet, or a vitamin deficiency. Check with your doctor about it.
Go talk to your Dr. It sounds like your medication is not controlling your problem. Nailbiting is a common occurrence in anxiety and OCD
It can definitely be an expression of anxiety and I swear those kind of habits are the hardest to break because it's so easy to do it without even thinking...I mean, it's your hands and they are always right there!
