It's been 2 months now, and I cannot stop putting my fingers up to my mouth, and bite the skin off. I mostly do it in exercise, when I did that 117 times in 25 minutes! I have a crisis, help me!
People tend to bite off hangnails, just one of those human habits.
You can actually get a tool called a cuticle nipper that removes hangnails. Kind of looks like a small pair of cutting pliers.
One way out of the habit is the first time you peel on a hangnail too hard and it removes enough skin to hurt for a few hours and bleed a bit. Take that opportunity to ease out of the habit.
I feel like the above message was supposed to have been posted on a different question. Sometimes that happens around here.
Yeah, that's pretty much what I was hinting at with regard to personality disorders. Borderline personality disorder is highly stigmatized, and often misunderstood. Another name for BPD is EID, or Emotional Intensity disorder. With medication, and proper therapy the prognosis is not necessarily hopeless, but unfortunately BPD has a bad reputation. The premier cognitive behavioral therapy for BPD/EID is Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, also known as DBT.
It's not something that just pops up like schizophrenia, and medication alone will not keep it in check like Bipolar disorder. Proper therapy is imperative for sufferers of BPD.
BPD is stigmatized because people suffering from this are antisocial, aggressive and generally unbearable to be around and they do it on purpose (albeit due to the illness).
It has impulsivity and obsessiveness and someone who announces to people a count of how many times it's to seperate themselves from the norm.
My brother suffers from this and I can't tolerate it.
