I cant stop biting and picking my nails?

i even eat the skin around the nail help

Answer:
I do the same, and I hate that bad habit about me... especially because the parts have to go somewhere, and that's 2x as gross... I think, now that YOU reminded me, that there's NO way of stopping with any quick remedy... or trick. We HAVE to bring nail clippers with us, keep it places we can get to them -- because if you're like me, you're constantly feeling your nails with your fingers, and then sort of shaving them, mentally thinking you're keeping them smoother. (I pick and tear off my toe-nails, but that's a whole 'nother issue!!) Sounds gross, but they're better looking than 95% of men's actually...
Paint your nails with a nail polish (they sell special ones for this type of problem). That way, if you start to bite your nail, you'll get quite a nasty taste in your mouth that'll help you learn to stop.
Sorry to say this but thats SICK
try dipping them in finger nail polish remover then bite your nails...ick!
try to chew gum
Don't wash your hands after taking a crap. You will either stop biting your finger nails are end up with a wierd fetish.
get better help than here!!
My friend used to do this too. there are special nail polishes that are bitter that will avert you from chewing, but its something you should even talk to a therapist about. Not to say that you have the crazies, but you might be dealing with some emotional baggage and your sub-conscience outlet is nail biting.
CHEWING GUM!! MIGHT HEEELLLLPPPPP>>>>>
i had this problem too. I bought this nail polish that called "hoof" it has a very bitter falvor, it teaches you not to put your fingers in your mouth/ bite your nails.
the nail is the dirtiest part on your body besides sweaty feet and armpits. to stop put some nail polish or nail remover on. if that doesn't work then cut your nails with a nail cutter more often.
My wife had that problem. All she did was get fake nails and she stopped.
try putting rubber bands around your wrists. this is behaviour modification. snap the bands when you find yourself picking or biting and pretty soon you wont be doing it anymore.
when i was little my mom used to cut a jalapeno and rub it all over my fingers.but be carefull no to rub your eyes...lol
