what should i do to stop eating my nails? help?

Answer 1

this will make you stop.
Underneath your fingernails is a bacteria that when digested will give you pin worms that crawl around in your intestines and you will have to go to the doctor for medicine to kill the worms

Answer 2

To stop eating nails, you need to break the habit. How? By programming yourself to think that eating nails=yucky. TWO TRICKS: By some no-bite nail polish. They sell it everywhere. OR scrape your nails over a bar of stick deodorant. Not too harmful, but SOOOOO gross tasting if you subconsciously start to nibble the nails. Hope this helps. My nails: long and strong.

Answer 5

My sister was a very bad nail biter for over 50 years. What she did was have acrylic nails put on for her daughter's wedding and realized that she couldn't bite her nails with them on. She kept getting regular manicures until her own nails grew out underneath the false ones. The habit was broken. She keeps her own nails manicured now and they look very nice.

Answer 6

There is this stuff you can buy that you put on them like nail polish and it tastes very bitter. That will stop you or at least remind you not to bite them. My sister used it on her daughters thumb nail so she would stop sucking her thumb! And it worked.

Answer 7

Everytime you go to bite your nails go do something else with your hands like type on a computer. Then you will forget about biting your nails.

Answer 8

you mean nail biting? I had the same thing. get a manicure every week and they do it so nice, and you won't want to mess up the nails. also they put hardener on and stuff so your nails will grow back quicker!

Answer 9

you should paint your nails soo that you would think that you don't want to eat the nail polish or I would cute my nails so that there really isn't a nail to bite.

Answer 10

You are oral impulsive - you like to put things in your mouth, possibly OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) -- Try eating carrots when you feel like biting your nails. In addition to eating carrots you must reoslve your unresolved issues.

see ref -

Overlapping stages based on a particular conflict which must be resolved (sexual and social) – c.f. Piaget

Erogenous zones - focus of sexual energy and attention, particularly sensitive.

Not based on adult sexual feelings.

Fixation and regression - based on frustration and overindulgence.

Adults act like children.

Oral stage (0-1) - focus on sucking (not simply for food)

Infant as all id - cannot distinguish self from outside reality

Frustration based on scheduled feeding and weaning
