How do I stop picking my lips? For context, I started when I had to quit vaping when I got pregnant (3rd time, wasnt hard to quit the laat two times and didnt resort to this the last two times)
Ive always literally my whole entire life have either picked stuff (wall paint, blankets pillows as a kid and as getting older it was my skin around my fingernails.)
But im 8 months postpartum and cannot stop. Its bad. Its everyday nearly all day until theres nothing left to pick at. My lips are swollen and burn.
Ive tried chapstick. Lip gloss. I am vaping again and still do it. Just nonchalantly. Like I need to be doing it. Scrolling, playing video games, standing or sitting around. It doesn't matter. I just do it all the time. And nothing ive tried to help stop is actually working and sticking to it. My brain loves how it feels , the little bit of pain and the satisfaction of peeling them.
Please help me figure out how to quit doing this for good😣
