Put something on that particular finger ,it will stop u until u lose that habit.I suffer from social anxiety disorder and I always bite the skin sorrounding my finger nails, how can i stop?
Spend more time alone. Or learn to analize your social situations a little. BE aware of your breath, try to find the way to make it last. Meditation or so.
Probably you might have generalised anxiety disorder.it is diffficulkt to make a diagnosis based on your question and your interpretation of social anxiety disorder.
Some of the associated symptoms may include excessive worrying,sweating ,awareness of your heart beat,avoiding situations-like avoiding open spaces with large crowds,fear of the unknown etc.
Some forms of treatments include
Non drug treatments-Counselling to talk and discusss your fears and anxities,desensitisation-i.e graded exposure to the thing/object/situation that you fear.Desensitisation is used to treat phobias(Fears)
2) drug treatments/ medication
Benzodiazepines(Diazepam,lorazepam,alp鈥?etc)treatment%26gt;It is meant to be short term 2-4 weks treatment.Use beyond 4 weeks can lead to addicion and dependence to the drug.
3)Antidepressant medications(like citalopram etc) in a low dose are used in the management of anxiety disorders. The doses are below the requirements needed for treating depression.
when i was young i have this problem too :%26gt; my father paint the ammonia on my finger .....then i never do it again
You are experiencing mild anxiety.
If it`s not possible to stop it ASAP..try substituting nailbiting by deepbreathing or think of a quiet place whenever you are anxious.Or try positive self-talk.
I tried it when I am anxious or afraid. It`s very useful.
You seem to be asking 2 Qs, one about social anx; and about biting skin.
You can stop biting your skin by replacing this activity with another. Carry some Curel, or moisturizer with you. In the a.m., rub the ends of your fingers with lotion. During the day, when you feel like biting, rub instead.
Replenish the lotion in private, on your break, in the washroom.
Over a period of time, the skin on your fingers will heal, and the additional rubbing will smooth it out.
When you see how much improved the appearance of your fingers, this will motivate you to refrain from chewing.
The social anxiety is a deeper rooted issue, but mastering the finger-biting is a step toward greater self-confidence. Lack of confidence/shame-gone-awry is usually at the root of socio-phobic/shame affect disorders.
Maybe this is what is deep down inside? Work with a therapist on this issue; good luck.
Do visualization, write in meetings, chew gum, hard candy. Or see if antidepressants will work (it does for some).
when you figure it out please let me know
Take a anti-depressent that works for anxiety too.
I also suffer from an anxiety disorder, and most of the time when I am feeling very stressed, I tend to scratch or rub the top of my head alot, or just cover it with my hands. I have had the hardest time breaking the habit. It seems like the only way to rid yourself of biting is to confront whatever it is that drives your anxiety. If there is a large group of people that are triggering your anx, then you should try and become the center of attention. I always feel as if somthing is going terribly wrong, in my own head. All I do is confront the fact that I am making myself feel that way, and I try to contradict it by letting myself know I am still breathing and thinking and functioning. I am aware of my problem, and then I can ignore it and get back to life. But, if that fails too often, then maybe getting professional help like therapy or medication would be better. I'm kind of paranoid when it comes to mhmr drugs, so I try to tough it out. Try it on for size, and good luck
My sister did that too. You need to ask your doctor about it, and try to put something on your fingers that taste bad. The have medication for the anxiety you are experiencing. Good luck.
Hypnotherapy; it's non-invasive, no drugs, no side-ellects, it's quick, painless, and can work wonders, by ';re-programming'; your unconscious mind.
the best answer is see a doctor they can help with either counseling or medication
Cure; your; anxiety.
difficult one. Try to do something else when that happens. As soon as you feel you are going to put your fingers in your mouth , jump up and go do something else. Or you could always put hot sauce on your finger tips.
I do the same thing; eating the skin around the fingernails that is.
I have been doing so for ages now, to the point that some of my finger tips have been slightly ';deformed';; or rather it is the nails themselves who have adopted a new path of growth, making it look like my finger tips are slightly bent.
For years I've been trying to cure myself of this very nasty habit. It can actually lead to gangrene if you dig in too much and the ';wound'; gets infected. Often I would try to put polisporin (or other regenerative compound) on my fingertips before going to sleep, hoping it would heal the skin around the nails overnight. Truth is, it does help a bit but it isn't miraculous.
Stress and fear and the main factors which drive this habit of mine. Stress is everyday life; the lifestyle of the post 80s/90s in today's wireless computer internet age. Fear is basically one of those strong emotions which cannot be easily controlled. Although I literaly face my fear(s) every single day, and deal with them, I just seem to cannot stop eating that skin around my nails!
The only solution I was able to find (thanks to my wife) is actually so simple it will sound ridiculous. It is basically becoming concious of your actions as you are doing then, hence in this case, trying to stop yourself before you do. So every time I put my fingers to my mouth , I try to stop myself. It doesn't always work, but since I am more aware of what I am doing, and of course that other fear of gangrene, I have considerably toned down on this nasty habit.
Let me know if you find a more decent solution to this!

If somebody has slightly weird shaped fingers and nails is this normal or do they have a disorder?
Fingernails can often display signs of chronic health problems...one example is a ';bulbous'; appearance of the nails which can be a sign of chronic lack of oxygen such as in patients who've had lung cancer surgery, etc.
There are many different shapes that could indicate a problem...or it could fall within normal limits. In other words, not all odd shapes are indicative of serious health problems, but it might be worth checking out.If somebody has slightly weird shaped fingers and nails is this normal or do they have a disorder?
It could be normal or abnormal. A description may help

Is biting nails a sign of mental disorder?
Can mental healthy people bite their nails too? How would you consider a person biting him(her)nails?Is biting nails a sign of mental disorder?
It could be. Obsessive Compulsiveness can include any repetitive action. I constantly clip my nails and if they're longer than I like them, I get fidgety, and can't wait to clip them. This might be a sign of OCD for me, but even then its not for sure.Is biting nails a sign of mental disorder?
HEYYY I BITE MY NAILS and am fineeeeee :%26gt;
Nail biting is simply a nervous habit. I don't think it will buy you time in a state institution. biting your nails is how you rid your body of it's extra energy or anxiety.
Nail biting is often a sign of anxiety and/or insecurity - and it's also a vice.
But the nail biting alone isn't a mental disorder.
However, people with mental disorders can bite their nails, why not?
I dont know I guess it would be if you cant stop your self.....I constantly bite mines.....so I guess then I would have one....if that is true !!!!!
I hope this helps
I bite my nails just when they et long because I dont ever have nail clippers.
It's just a habit, it doesn't mean someone is mentally ill...
healthy people dod not do this-you must be crazy
lol god i hope not.
no its just a habit some people have
No, only when you start including those bitten off nails in recipes do you need to perhaps go talk to someone.
Well I know that I am not retarded so yes it is completely normal for mentally healthy people to bite their nails. I had a habit of biting my nails all the time and i eventually started putting fingernail polish remover or something that tasted really bad on the tips of my fingers so every time id go to bite my nails id get the taste in my mouth. Eventually I stopped biting my nails. Most of the time when i bit my nails i was nervous because I have anxiety problems.
No, biting your nails is a nervous habbit. It's usually a form of comfort for toddlers. Most children stop biting their nails at some point. Though a small percentage countinue it into their teens, and some even do it untill they are adults. It isn't a sign of mental disorder, it's just something you never stopped doing. It doesnt cause any problems either. Though a lot of people see it as a bad habbit.
No, itchy fingers or nails.
Keep a nail file handy, and keep then smooth and neat. Then they feel nice and you are less likely to pick at them or bite them.
NO, just means the person is nervous. I don't like hanging out with persons who bite their nails - not because they're nervous, but because I don't think it's hygienic.
No. However it is usually a sign of anxiety. It's also just a very bad habbit. Make yourself break it. Paint that nasty tasting stuff on your nails to keep them out of your mouth. It really works.
No, it's not a sign of a mental disorder or we would all be nuts.
no.
I bite my nails and i'm perfectly normal. i think biting nails is more of a habit people acquire over years. in the beginning, i would do it when i felt bored, then i began to like the feeling on my teeth while biting. after some time, i couldn't tolerate the feeling of longish nails. the more nail there is, the more pleasure in biting. i guess i don't mind doing it myself, but if i saw somebody doing it in public, i wouldnt like it much.
therefore, biting nails is not a sign of mental disorder, and it's perfectly normal to bite nails (it's not a very good habit, though)

Does biting my nails have something to do with my anxiety disorder or my OCD?
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!

';Liberalism is a mental disorder'; Did Michael Savage hit the nail on the head or WHAT?!?
T shirts with this slogan are available at his website, www.michaelsavage.com. All TRUE Americans would be proud to wear one... John Wayne would have!';Liberalism is a mental disorder'; Did Michael Savage hit the nail on the head or WHAT?!?
I read that book too, Pilgrim. Don't let these peoples dictionary explanation of ';Liberal'; deceive you. We know what a Liberal is, and it's not described in the dictionary.

Can't you pick someone who is at least alive before you decide that your delusion would be his?
Savage, like all of the right wing radio nitwits have managed to re-define the world 'liberal' and the concept of 'liberalism' into an all purpose pejoritive noun. It's something like redefining the world 'truth' to mean propaganda. I feel sorry for the ditto-heads for allowing themselves to fall into this trap of screwball belief. The alternative to a 'liberal' society, liberal as defined by any standard dictionary, is to enter a world based on superstition, deception, rule by force, hate, ignorance and a dark age of all against all. Michael Savage has hit the nail all right....right on the...point. Look up the word liberalism in the dictionary and embrace it.....civilization in the best sense of the word will be lost without it!
mike savage is a mental disorder. just listen to him say how medical marijuana is a scam?????? wtf?
John Wayne would be one of the last people to put on such a silly slogan. True Americans are free thinkers that don't follow slogans or trends.
Exactly what do you think ';liberalism'; means??Here's how my Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary defines ';liberalism';: A THEORY IN ECONOMICS EMPHASIZING INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM FROM RESTRAINT AND...BASED ON FREE COMPETITION, THE SELF-REGULATING MARKET, AND THE GOLD STANDARD.
-or- A POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY BASED ON BELIEF IN PROGRESS, THE ESSENTIAL GOODNESS OF MAN, AND THE AUTONOMY OF THE INDIVIDUAL AND STANDING FOR THE PROTECTION OF POLITICAL AND CIVIL LIBERTIES.
In the same dictionary, by the way, ';conservatism'; is defined as A POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY BASED ON TRADITION AND SOCIAL STABILITY, STRESSING ESTABLISHED INSTITUTIONS AND PREFERRING GRADUAL DEVELOPMENT TO ABRUPT CHANGE; THE TENDENCY TO PREFER AN EXISTING SITUATION.
So, from my perspective, a conservative might be the one with a mental disorder, afraid of change or improvement and sticking to the 'staus quo', regardless of how untimely or outmoded such tradition might be. A liberal, on the other hand, appears to open to fresh ideas, optimistic toward new solutions to age-old problems, and enough of a progressive thinker to know that change is necessary and inevitable to maintain a free and prosperous society.
It seems that liberals would like more people to share the wealth and enjoy the benefits of our free America while conservatives believe in an ';All for one...ME'; philosophy that restricts and excludes the majority of Americans in sharing this nation's bounty.
If I weren't such a staunch independent who abhors BOTH the liberal and conservative persuasions, I'd definitely be drawn to liberalism instead of that 'wacko' conservative agenda put forth by stubborn, unchangeable ditto heads.

ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY, AMEN 100 PER CENT....GREAT QUESTION...DEAD ON.
It's very true!
Any group that would be okay with killing a baby, but saving a dog truly has a BIG mental disorder.
Liberalism is the larger theory of citizen participation in government, protected rights and freedoms guaranteed by a constitution, and forms the basis for conservative values.
Liberalism is the foundation of everything Michael Savage uses to gain celebrity and sell books. He should have said ';Militant extremism of any KIND is a mental disorder'; which is something he qualifies as; an extremist with a militant ideology.
As part of your further education, perhaps you should do a little research on what conservatism is. It is in fact what liberalism used to mean. Modern liberalism means progressivism, either social, economic, or political reform of a certain kind.
Much of conservatism is similar to libertarianism, which is what old school liberalism meant. You can't bash the entire ideology of liberalism, because that includes conservatism and libertarianism.
It is as though doctor Savage considers liberalism and conservatism to be two ultimate extremes. This is wrong, the extremes are anarchy and totalitarianism. Liberalism and conservatism are two different flavors of moderate political ideology, and I am saddened to see those of us who should be more mature and tolerant denigrate and demonize one another for choosing slightly different political views.
Instead of focusing on our differences, as partisan hacks would like you to do, focus on our common values and our shared strengths. Tearing this nation apart and blaming the other half does nothing. Meanwhile, other nations are making political, economic, and social progress, while we bash each other.
Time to take a grow up pill.
Quite conveniently, John Wayne and Jefferson are dead, and can't argue with that. Neither can Kennedy either, who conservatives sometimes claim would be a Republican today. This post is a load of claptrap which would not convince anyone but a kindergartner of anything.
Given that the US constitution and American society is based on Liberalism, I couldn't agree more.

Can nail biting be a disorder?
if done compulsively or to cause pain. Or it can be a symptom of a bigger anxiety problem - I guess it depends on what the spirit behind it is... if you're doing it out of bordom then it's prolly just a habit, if you do when your nervous it could be compulsive or anxiety, if you do it to cause pain it's a form of self injuryCan nail biting be a disorder?
Not officially, no it isn't. But a doctor might consider it a part of OCD, an Impulse-Control Disorder, Stereotypic Movement Disorder, or some other mental illness depending on the person and how severe it is.
That's kind of funny, though, because there is an actual diagnosis called Trichotillomania; which is compulsive hair plucking, but nail biting doesn't have it's own category.Can nail biting be a disorder?
i dont think so but its really disgusting
I guess it depends on the extent of your nail biting.
At least its not as unhygenic as chewing the skin of your feet which I have seen my friends do
Pls refer to link below and its references
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nail_biting
i dont thinks so it is just a way to relieve some stress
No,just a nervous habit,a tick..ext.
I bit my nails because I had horrible anxiety. Once I got on medication, I stopped biting my nails.
