Nail Biter

Nail Biter. Since I could chew,
A terrible habit to have,
Tried to end it many a time, my brother calls me a Chav.

But since I've done it for so long,
I can't seem to make it stop.
Any excuse to chew on my nails, it's becoming very over the top.

I bite when I'm nervous,
Bite when i'm scared,
Bite when there's nothing to do,
Pick at my nails when I'm bored or alone, or really just don't feel like food.

It's beyond gross, disgusting in fact, the thought of it makes me hurl,
I've tried everything, even weekly updates but its been a problem since I was a girl.

I'm asking for help, my Opussians, I need all of your support,
For I fear as I go looking for jobs they'll see my fingers and show me the door :s

Sick

I'm sick of being scared of being sick. The constant worry of an anxious mind, 'Is it just a cold or is it something worse?' 'Is it just that I ate too much or is it that it was dodgy.

Worry, You're Dead.

When my heart starts beating rapidly, that's when I know things are gonna go wrong. When my fingers to my body start to rattle and shake, that's when I know things are gonna go wrong.

Being Me.

Lock me away. Just make me stay. I won't leave this room. Outside is my doom. People that mock me. Things that block me. It's a lot to take in. I'll need more than a min. I'm scared to go out.

Shifting The Weight

I carry on, with all on my shoulders. Why I don't know, I haven't a clue. Die I just might, with the weight of the world. Try as I might, I just can't see it through.

Panic Attack

It felt like the room was spinning. And my eyes just couldn't keep up. I felt like gravity was winning. And the space between the floor and my body was about to be shut.

I've been a nail biter since I can remember too! Can even bite through that yukky stuff. Lol. But stopped two years ago coz a work colleague told me my hands were disgusting. Now I have pretty nails but the temptations still there if I break one. Good write aswell. πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ˜Œ

The only way I could stop was to have a competition with someone else who bites them to see who could get the nicest nails! πŸ˜„

@eddie12309 @naaviie wow you guys...not alone in this big wide world of chewy gals! Defo gonna try stop again just like you two πŸ˜˜πŸ’“βœ¨

@minxyMolly thanks for the repost Hun βœ¨πŸ’“

Ouch sounds painful! My sister bites her nails and can't stop but she did have false nails once and that stopped her anyway hope you find away 😘

@sjw yer I was thinking of fake nails but I've worn the cheap ones a few times before and really didnt like it 😁- thank you anyway ☺😘

I used to but have managed to stop! The only way to keep this up is to do tem every week! First take off nail varnish then file them put on cream and push back cuticles. Then scrub them, oil them, buff them and paint them!

@Girlbobo Wow you have lots of time!

Well lots of the time I dont do them! It actually doesn't take long :)

@Girlbobo cool
