I stopped biting my nails on Thursday. I've bitten them for 30+ years. I stopped in the run up to my wedding, but started again as the nails drove me mad.
I like to bite any white parts of the nail off and currently I have whites showing on 6 nails.
My fingers look really ugly because I also bite the skin around the nails. I've continued to this since Thursday as I've been trying to even things up.
So here's the question. On two of my nails, I don't have the cuticle joiny part. The part that joins the skin to the nail, not that part that grows up the nail that you have to push down. That's due to constantly trying to even it out and not have raggedy bits.
Also, one finger is quite swollen as that's the main bitten one.
Will any of this reverse in any way? If my fingers are always going to be ugly I may as well keep biting them.
At the moment, I put my newly grown nails against my teeth but don't bite them off. The urge to is quite strong though.
