I'm addicted to biting my nails

I am extremely addicted to biting my nails. Every single day I must keep biting them. I constantly am biting them so much that I'm bleeding from every finger. Whenever I use hand sanitizer, it gets all in the cuts and is so painful. I know I should probably stop, but I can't. I don't even think they could grow back if I stopped. My family is concerned for my well-being but I know that I know myself better than they ever could. So when they are sleeping, I bite their nails. No one has caught on yet and I've been doing it for years. Is being addicted to biting your nails normal?

    I’m saying no bc you shouldn’t be doing it at all. My girlfriend does it and I hold her hands away from her no matter how she fusses.

    I am in the same situation as you, the challenging part is to not bite them, sometimes I have the urges and desires to do it again, you aren't alone in this.
