cant tell if my nails are still horrible or have healed
ive been awful at picking peeling chewing off and generally fucking up the skin surrounding my nails for my entire life and have finally trying to be mindful about snapping out of the trance, however i still keep catching myself in the act :[
my problem is i cant tell if my nails and skin have healed at all or not...my frame of reference for what 'healthy' nails and fingers look like has been messed up because my nails never looked like anyone elses when it was really bad, and i got used to the scabs and scars and raw skin 24/7 as just what my nails looked like at a baseline, and i cant tell if my nails look normal anymore now that im not tearing them up 24/7
i guess im just wondering if my nails look healthy or if theres anything i should be looking out for, if the redness is healthy or a sign of something
idk if i explained any of this right but if i didnt pls lmk and i can attempt to clarify, thank u guys in this sub for having a place for people to ask for support and support others dealing with BFRBs 🫂❤️
