Thanks for your reply, sister rags. I actually read online about getting nails helping a person. And they do have a diagnosis term Dermatillomania. It's commonly associated with OCD and body dysmorpyic disorder (spelling??) And like you mentioned anxiety is a big trigger. I also chew the hang nails sometimes to the point that they're torn and really painful. I think I'm very lucky I don't pull my hair out. I had a friend in college who did that and she had bald patches. It was really sad; she had a bunch of self hatred. My pdoc took me off valium so I'm sure that's part of my problem.

Take care. Tnt
