I compulsively chew on the skin on my fingers and around my fingernails to the point of bleeding and I don't know how to stop
Well, I am kind of curious now if you've ever thought about getting help for this habit?
I'm too ashamed to ask anyone for help, especially my family. Also I think it's psychologically related.
Getting passed a habit like this can be difficult. And you should never feel ashamed for seeking help. If you reach out to someone you trust and let them know what is happening, they will at least be able to give you support.
Well I think I am going to do it tomorrow.
That is great, and I hope that you figure this out! I am sure with help from others that the habit will be defeated in no time.
