is it a bad thing to do? I usually do it til it bleeds at some point. Or even make it worse. I don't know why.. I've been doing it for years now. Is it a form of self-mutilization? If so, is there anyway I can stop it? Thanks.

By cutting I mean with nail clippers. Like cutting pieces away from it. No razorblades or anything like that.

1. Stop biting your nails!! 2. Get a good manicure. When you spend the money on a manicure and polish, and your hands look nice, you don't want to mess it up by picking and biting your nails and cuticles. Buy matching nail polish so you can touch it up. Have your nails done every week. 3. Get a good thick hand lotion or cream. Use it after every time you wash your hands, and rub it into your nails and cuticles. 4. Wear a thin pair of cotton gloves to bed after slathering lotion on your hands to soften your cuticles. 5. If you think you can't afford a good lotion, use olive oil. But look in the grocery store; you can get a big bottle of good lotion for just a couple dollars if you don't buy a pricey brand name. Put some in a travel bottle for your purse.

It's not very healthy, it creates an opening on your hands for germs to get in. You might want to try bandaging your fingers, or putting something over the cuticles that will remind you that you don't want to be doing that.
