I have a habit of using a knife (surgery knives) to peel my fingers
How do I quit this?
Cut off your fingers

Whoa, what? I'm gonna need more details, and pictures if possible.

I am sorry

Details, man. What exactly do you do to your fingers? Do you peel the skin off your fingertips? How did this start? How often do you do this? What comples you to it? Have you tried quitting? If yes, why did it fail?

Fuck that is nasty. You should definitely go to a doctor.

>What exactly do you do to your fingers?
I slide the knife over the head of my finger and its also over its sides trying to peel the upper skin
> Do you peel the skin off your fingertips?
Yes, there too
>How did this start?
I have been doing this since a very young age
At first I used my teeth but now I use teeth, a nail clipper or a knife
>How often do you do this?
I do it whenever I am doing nothing with my hands and no one is seeing me
>What comples you to it?
Upper skin has a satisfying thickness that I enjoy biting
Also the feeling of the skin being peeled
And when I am using a knife or a clipper I usually try to make a repetitive cut or a cut of large surface
> Have you tried quitting?
I have
I am embarrassed of it because it is disgusting
> If yes, why did it fail?
It doesn't seem like my mind considers the embarrassment enough for me to stop

Sorry
And thanks for the advice I will consider it

So is this something you do uncosciously? Also, seeing a doctor would probably be a good idea.

It's unconscious
Yes I will see one actually
Thanks
