• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Ugh stop picking! Trust me, I do it and it's horrible! It can create warts around your fingernails because of the infection - if you pull out a bit of skin and it bleeds, that blood spot can create a base for a wart. They are so gross and so hard to get rid of! So please stop now before you do major damage!

It isn't WHAT you do to hurt yourself, it is the motive behind.
Do you pick your nails because it is a habit or you're trying to make them look better?
Or do you do it to feel the pain?
If you are doing on purpose to hurt yourself and you feel the least bit guilty about it then you are SI'ing and you need to try and stop. If you want to talk PM me and I would be happy to talk ;0
