So thankful for this place!

So very thankful for finding this place! Like many of you, I have picked or bitten my nails, cuticles and surrounding skin. This habit has gone on more than 45 years. It's painful and unsightly. After stumbling across this reddit, it feels like a light at the end of a tunnel. People like me who share in the same issue. I plan on utilizing the strategies that are here, and implementing them. Looking forward to not explaining to people why my fingers are always bleeding, and telling them eventually why my nails are polished instead.
