Hi everyone!

So I'm going to start off this topic with a warning for self harm, as this is it in a way. It's not a gaping wound or anything but I did to this to myself at least somewhat purposefully.

I have a major issue with picking at my hands and nails until they bleed. This has only gotten worse since I was prescribed adderall along with my antidepressant. Now I've really gone and done it though.

So basically... I've ripped the upper portion of my nail off in one of my picking fits- all the way to the skin. It seems to have solidified a lot, and I'm assuming this is the keratin regrowing, but will my nail ever come back normally? I'll add a picture below.

I'm rather embarrassed to have to ask about this. Next time I see my therapist I'm going to finally come clean and discuss this habit with her.
