I'm inthi picture and it hurt to see

Aahhh, plucking my fingers. It's so ingrained in my head that there is some special separate process (that I don't control) in my brain taking care of this.

My wife will slap my hands when I do it because I asked her to help me stop it but even when in my head I'm like "stop. It. Now." then one hand just moves to the other and starts plucking and I'm like "wtf, I said stop!"

The one thing that I've noticed that helps is prayer beads. I'm atheist, but they work wonders to occupy that little process in my head, I redirect all it's attention to those beads and so with one hand I'm moving the beads one click forward every half second or so all day long. That works!

Yeah. I rock climb as my job basically, and my finger health is in the bin most of the time…

Not since I was in my early 20s, and it seems like it's more common with young people.

I had for a while. Not that bad though.
Then I started cooking for myself.

I can't believe nobody has suggested vitamin D deficiency. One person suggested vitamin deficiency and sure it may be more than just vitamin D, but vitamin D deficiency can make your skin dry. Specially the genitalia areas. Also you might have issues sleeping, bone density, teeth decay, ridges on your nails etc.

Lol yeah. I stopped biting my nails and cuticles when Covid started, but now i just pick the shit out of my cuticles

I used to chew the skin from my finger nails a lot as a kid, not much nowdays, but still do sometimes, I doesn't happen on its own

Since I can remember. Why does this happen?

Am I not the only one? Most people I've heard of eat their nails. I'm the only one I've ever known who chews on his cuticles.

Interesting how much people don't understand. So for u normies, non autistic people here: NO , the skin doesn't get like that by its own, it's not moisture, cream or anything, it's just we can't stop messing with our thingers and constantly damage the border of nails like that.

How did you get that photo of my hand?

I did until like a week ago.

I’d had enough as they hurt and wasn’t getting better, I do a lot of rock climbing so the chalk makes the issue worse, plus I have not been doing great mentally so diet and hydration was awful.

What I did:

• Bought some Nails Inc Cuticle Oil (I am male, but it works). You just add a bit and rub it in. I now use this most days and definitely after climbing.
• I know that with a poor diet I am likely missing vitamins as some of my nails had lines down them. I take a cheap multi vitamin everyday.
• I am conscious to drink more water, although I already drink 2-3liter a day.
• I am making plans to improve my eating habits as I get decision fatigue and really just don’t eat enough. Think I’ve been alive too long that food is just meh at this point. But I went climbing yesterday on hardly anything and felt incredibly sick.

My nails are better now. My mental health not so much but one step at a time.

The story of my life...

No! Never! What the hell causes that? Is it a dry skin thing? Looks painful and disturbing.

Problem solved

Fuck you.

Just fuck you and quit attacking me
