[quote=Anonymous]I am a nailbiter (age 41) and always have been. I know it makes me look unpolished, uncouth, anxious, or some combination of all of the above, but I still cannot stop. I do think there probably *is* a connection to anxiety b/c I do take medication for depression/anxiety, but unlike some other PPs, this medication, while it does help me, doesn't seem to be able to do anything about the nail-biting. I was a thumb-sucker when I was little and I personally (my own uneducated opinion!) think my parents forced me to wean from that too early, and therefore I really picked up the nailbiting hardcore. I remember them putting socks on my hands, taping up my thumb with masking tape, etc. to prevent me from thumb-sucking, and it was a really long and upsetting process for me. Who knows.[/quote]
