Okay so I’m not the best at handling things sometimes, and I know that some people out there are probably in the same boat with me. I have a bad habit of digging my fingernails into my palms to help me take a breath. Or if I feel out of control and angry at something, I do that too. It’s not the worst thing that I could be doing, and I’m sure that it’s a step up from what some people turn to.
It’s not entirely bad or anything, but I wish that I could refrain from doing it in times of stress or sadness. It’s been hard and it’s exhausting really, but I got this cube that has things to fiddle with, and it actually helps sometimes.
Of course I don’t carry it with me every minute of the day, and I know that it isn’t the most reliable because sometimes it doesn’t help, but I think that it might work out a little bit better.
I don’t know, things are really hard right now and I feel so lost and alone, I just can’t admit it to anyone in person right now. I’m not good at that part, I wish I was though.
I wish I could be more and be enough for a little bit.
Hey just to let you know i am in the exact same boat as you, i have started doing that recently and i cant’t seem to stop myself, some of my friends realised and think i’m doing it for attention because a person from our fave tv show does it, i have been trying to stop myself but its easier said than done,
all the best

I do the exact same thing. I thought that I was the only one who does this. Something that I find helps with it is doing something that keeps your fingers occupied, like typing, writing, drawing, etc. Keep hanging in there!
