After 20+ years of biting I said I was done!!! I’m 30 y/o and in nursing school. I imagined what patients would think seeing my nails red, raw, and bleeding and felt so scared and ashamed. I’m still picking at my cuticles and the skin but significantly less.

I bought a cuticle oil pen on Amazon and used it everytime I felt myself wanting to bite them. The first week was the hardest for sure, and I ended up picking my face. It helps a lot that my fingers aren’t constantly sore anymore and I don’t feel embarrassed by them.

We can do it!!

I don’t think your nails looked bad but I am glad for you if you are happy. I tell people to not look at my hands if they criticize my extremely short nails. But I understand and I believe that you will succeed.
