Help With My OCD
Well I have OCD. I pick my lip (sometimes) and really bite my nails. I don't bite my nails badly. Its just I hate my nails getting long and I hate seeing the white line on top of my nail. Strange I know. With my lip when I pick it it sometimes bleed. Like if my lips are chapped I have to pick them. I want to stop because I have braces and my dentist doesn't know about this. But could any one please give ideas on how to stop picking my lip and biting my nails. I truly hate this disorder. But thanks in advance!

You don't have OCD. You have two bad habits: biting your nails and biting/picking your lips.
How about if you pretty up your lips and your nails so you won't want to spoil their appearance?

You don't have to glob it on. And it would be used only until you broke the habit. Do you mess with your lips if they are smooth and not chapped?

No I don't mess with them if their not chapped. I just don't like all that stuff on my lips. But I will try some vaseline cause that's what we only got to put on our lips at my house. Except my mom she uses lipstick and lipgloss yuck! But yeah I will try it but I might just eat it off cause I just really don't like that stuff. But Im going to try it and see. As for my nails even if I have polish on them I sometimes I just bite it off then start chewing on my nails again. But I will try that bad tasting polish.

All you need is a VERY thin coat of gloss. Vaseline sounds nasty for lips (I'd hate it too and would chew it off), so I'd go with the gloss or a special lip protector. Could you buy one at a drugstore?

I have chapstick but I don't use it. But I will start using it. Cause my lips get chapped quick. And I haven't pick my lip nor bite my nails today. But thank you for giving me great advice.

Here's some more great advice: Take 4000 IUs of vitamin D every day. That helps your skin and hair to be soft and glowing. It will help keep your lips smooth and your nails strong too. If you know you look good, you won't want to mess that up with biting nails and picking lips.
There should always be at least a narrow white part showing at the tips of your nails. When you bite your nails, your nail stubs and finger tips look fat and ugly.

Yeah I know that for sure. Its just a bad habbit I have. And I bite my nails when Im under stress and I have been having family issues with my dad so Im under some stress. BUT Im fine because I don't dwell on issues so that took off some stress. Im also doing better with my lip. I have went 2 days without picking and that's a BIG improvement. And again thank you so so much for the wonderful advice!
