I don't suffer from anxiety, but I have bitten my nails in the past. Well, I guess if what you feel from bipolar disorder and ADHD can be called anxiety then I do. Now I have this twisted obsession with popping my nuckles. I even have a routine for doing it and I have to get at least 20 pops. If I don't then the routine starts over until I get the correct number. More than 20 is ok but not less. Stupid, huh? I also bite the inside of my lip. I'm not sure how I quit biting my nails. I do keep them trimmed very close and and rough skin gets neatly trimmed off with the clippers. I don't know if it's anxiety or ADHD restlessness...like tapping your toes.
