lol I was watching and was thinking of commenting about how acrylic nails was the only way I could make myself unable to rip at my fingers. But you said that’s off the table so I have nothing for you 😭

for me it's charms on nails, the only thing that works, the only thing I have on me at all times

What’s worked for me was using finger sleeves for gaming. Once my nails grew out just a bit, I got a gel manicure. Also, cuticle oil and keeping my hands moisturized.

I pick at the skin on my fingers and it can get bad at times. I don’t have full range of motion as well due to the scar tissue

Look up the COMB method for dermotilomania. It involves figuring out what triggers it (uneven textures, boredom, certain places, etc) and reducing those as well as giving yourself better ways to respond to the urge (like reaching for a fidget). I’ve been like 3 months picking free (or at least not bleeding/in pain anymore)

Girl same, my entire life. I just moved and started a new job so my thumb has been bleeding and had the skin ripped off for a month straight. It’s to the point I don’t even realize I am doing it and my boyfriend has to call it out
