Bitten down...

[Sevikins]

^True!, but I wonder, does anyone have any alternatives to fighting boredom or stress? I'd rather not smoke or anything, like most people I know.

I guess for me, I never found a way to alleviate my stress other than to take it out on my nails.

Maybe we could swerve the topic onto any helpful tips one could fight the stress or whatever that causes us to bite in the first place?

Snacking perhaps?
I usually end up munching down when I study now a days (not that my poor nails still don't suffer when the food runs out).

Mind you, this could lead to other issues...

^Lol, I know, recently my bf's bought bags of chips just so we'd have something to eat... and since I had no room downstairs, I put them in my room. Now when I'm just bored or surfing around I open them and just start snacking.

Of course they're not good without something cold to wash it all down with.

Been nail biting free since the start date of this thread... it's quite helpful in the summer, been bitten like three times and nails have helped keep those bites scratched. I guess that's another good perk to it lol. You can scratch those bug bites.
