Cuticle destruction

Posted by 2em on June 20, 2003, at 22:17:27

I was recently diagnosed with GAD. Throughout
the past 15+ yrs I have had a "nervous-habit" of picking at my cuticles such that at this point in my life I am ashamed for people to see the state
of my fingers. In times of high stress I will pick until I bleed. I have shared this with my therapist and psychiatrist but neither have seemed too concerned with the habit. A big part of my anxiety stems from social interactions and a particular anxiety is that someone might notice that I frequently have bandages on my finget-tips or that there are scabs around my finger-nails.
Does anyone share this malady or know anything about this particular reaction to anxiety. I would search the archives here but thought I might just post on this to save time.
