Paint your nails so you'll stop biting them 💅 (worked for me anyway)

Thanks! Unfortunately I tried it in the past and it didn't work for me. And things that do work just lead to me picking/chewing elsewhere. I probably need to deal with the anxiety itself rather than the symptoms.

I used to bite my nails down to the quick and was finally able to break the habit in my 20's by starting to keep a pair of fingernail clippers at the computer desk. Anytime I caught myself starting to nibble I'd do a quick trim so there was nothing to nibble. The bad habit (that I'd had for MANY years) very quickly went away.
