Can't stop biting nails.

[Fabled]

I remember I used to bite my nails, only when they were long enough to bite them, as I grew up the nails kept getting more annoying to bite off for whatever reason, so that put off the idea of biting them I guess. Just smother your fingers in hot sauce/some sort of nasty tasting stuff and have at it till your brain smartens up.

Get some of that horrible tasting stuff people use to stop sucking their thumbs/biting their nails.

That doesn't work for me, the last stuff I had smelt like bananas so it made me want to chew more.

I used to do that too when I was little. My mother promised me 10 cents for every nail I didn´t bite. It really helped.

Give me $100 for every nail I don't bite.

Inflation is a bitch :P

BTW, haven't bit my nails all day. YAY!

i've been biting my nails to since I was a little kid, on and off. Usually when i'm really stressed out i don't have nails for months as I bite em of as they grow out, i've tried these disgusting tasting things you put on but didn't help a bit :P

I used to bite my nails all the time, but when I grew up, I grew out of it. A lot of the time I would bite them because they started to grow. Once I kept them clipped short, then it was fine. Think about it, are you going to continue to bite them when they're cut? Sooner or later you won't be able to without them hurting from being TOO short.

Get some gloves and be a gentlemen for awhile.

Yeah, I used to suck my thumb... I kinda ignored the horrible taste, but that's just me. ;p

All my life I've bit my nails and I can't seem to stop..I do it and don't even notice I'm doing it.

Any home remedies or something I can buy to help stop?

Need HALP!

My buddies GF had the same thing and she tried hypnosis to stop doing it and it worked apparently.

Hah, I wish I only bit my nails. I also suffer from this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dermatophagia

It's not as bad as that first picture, but it leaves a constant pain. I do it sub-consiously most of the time so it's not a matter of stopping myself. I think I might have some sort of OCD or anxiety, need to get some meds =/

Been biting since childhood, caused my front two teeth to become a little crooked over time and even now I cant stop

Just stop biting your nails, it's as easy as it sounds. I remember I began to bite my nails when I was 12 and kept at it until I was 19. I recall looking at my nails one night after biting them and realizing how painful it was that they were trimmed as far back as possible, so if the nail pulled up, it would sometimes rip the skin a bit... anyways, I told myself I can't keep doing this and poof, I stopped. Everytime I was about to bite my nails, I would think of how I really don't like the feeling.

I used to do that when I was really young. It was so painful.

So I switched to chewing my hair. Then I moved on to actually twirling my hair, to the point where I actually had a bald spot several inches wide on the top of my head. Then I went back to my nails, but instead of chewing them I just tore them off. Since I can't tear them off when there's no white, it works and isn't an unhealthy habit.

Now that I think of it, I also chew the insides of my mouth too, and crack my knuckles a lot.

I wonder if I have some sort of anxiety or compulsive disorder. o.O

You don't even need to do this. I got a bottle of Tabasco and put it on my nails with a skinny paintbrush. Solved my nail biting problem quick, fast and in a hurry.
