Bad Habit

Jaqui Velasco 

I have an awful habit of biting my nails. If I'm stressed out or anxious, which is always because I have adhd, I'll bite them. Munch munch munch. Watching a movie? Nail munch. Sitting alone at home? Nail munch. I could be preoccupied with the busiest thing in the world and I'll still munch on my nails. Recently though, I've been working really hard on not biting them. The white part of the nail that normal people have is finally starting to show up. I'm very proud of myself for that. I slipped up yesterday though. I had UNCONSCIOUSLY munched on the nail of my left index finger. I was so sad, I had ruined a week of progress on that finger. Heck, I was angry.
