Need Help Ending These Nervous Habits!
I've always been a nervous person, dealing with TONS of stress since day ONE! I've bitten my nails since I've had teeth, I "pick" at my skin, but now this new habit is really causing pain. I've been dealing with cold sore blisters frequently due to poor health and stress, and though I'm on strong meds for it, they keep reoccurring.
So I've taken on the habit of not only chewing on my lower lip so they never heal and end up as ugly white sores, but constantly and unconsciously licking my lips as well. I have no idea how to stop this. I've tried the rubber band on the wrist, yoga, deep breathing, meditation, etc. but it doesn't seem to help! I really need to get this under control ASAP!

Dermatillomania (also known as compulsive skin picking or CSP) is an impulse control disorder and form of self-injury characterized by the repeated urge to pick at one's own skin, often to the extent that damage is caused. Dermatillomania can be a compulsion of body dysmorphic disorder (BDD).
The best treatment is cognitive behavioral therapy, though some have had short term succes with meditation. I wish you luck.
