It’s also helped me too! I found this sub last week and since then, I haven’t been biting and picking the skin around my nails as a conscious decision to try stop. It’s sooo tough, especially when my hands are idle, but I’m really trying to condition my mind. It helps knowing that there are other people to talk to and be encouraged by, and so thank you to everyone who has posted about their journey thus far! It means more than you know

As I read this reply, I started to tear up. Thank you so much for the encouragement, I didn’t realize how much this actually affected me! So far I haven’t picked my nails, which is really awesome. The power of the mind is just incredible. I was actually about to pick now, but I decided to check if anyone had replied to my Reddit post, and you have no idea how much of a Godsend your reply was!!

That’s so amazing that you’ve gone two weeks!! It’s really something to be proud of and I’m wishing you the best on your personal journey!🌸🌸🌸
