lime juice will seriously nuke the nailbiting. someone explained it to me as the flavor keeping you away from it but they're totally wrong. there's something enzymatic that just nukes all the bacteria irritating those nerves. slather some lime on there, let it turn that nasty ass cuticle into ceviche, and enjoy your cleanly healing nails. DO NOT PICK. DO NOT PICK. haven't bitten em in years. good luck
I appreciate the tip, I'll save it for when I leave the honeymoon phase of zoloft.
Hm I don't know what that means but I'm going to take it positively
Zoloft isn't going to do its thing forever, I have to learn to not bite my nails without it. It'll always help, but after a few weeks I'm probably going to be doing worse than I am right now. So I'll need that for when I'm stuck nailbiting again
smart to plan ahead then
