Ok- I'm embarassed to admit this. As long as I can remember I have bitten the skin around my nails, bite my nails, and bite/pull my hair. Nothing extreme but I just really want to stop! I have a history of Self injury but I quit that and can't seem to quit this.

don't know if this would help you, but I commiserate. Used to pick my scalp when I was a girl. Embarassment and fear of hazards to health stopped me, tho it was a long road there for a while. The best!
