How do I stop biting my lips and peeling the skin of my fingers?

sweetsallyjane: How do I stop biting my lips and peeling the skin of my fingers?
I am always biting my lips and I also pick the skin off when they’re dry until they’re bleeding and then I stop.

I bite the inside of my lips, too until they bleed and then I stop.

I also peel the skin off my fingers (when I see dry skin) and even though I want to stop so badly, I get in this trance where I can’t stop peeling them until they bleed, too! My fingers are becoming so ugly that my husband has started to notice and is very concerned about this. Apart from peeling them, I also bite the sides of my fingers’ skin!

So I bite my lips.
Peel my dried lips.
Bite the skin inside my mouth.
Bite the skin off the side of my fingers.
I peel the skin off my fingers ’til they bleed.

How do I stop this? Slapping it won’t work, and chewing gum only goes so far. I can do this for 2 hours and can’t stop. It’s like I can’t snap out of it.

i used to bit my lip and make it bleed but wat i do is put lip gloss on and wen i think I’m going to do it i put more on or if i start doing it i don’t get cross wid myself just put lip gloss on. With ur hands you could try having a manicure making ur hands and nails look nice and that might make you stop because taking the skin off will make them look bad again also having a manicure will moisturizers ur hands hope you can stop

No real solution for this
You can try the lotions & they will only reduce this act
But this problem is very very common but it differs in the levels of suffering
My advice for you is to get a hobby or play some kind of sports it will cheer you up & gives you more confidence thus it will reduce your addiction to this act
