I’m a girl in high school, and I believe I have anxiety. This has lead me to pick up a habit of digging my fingernails into my palm as hard as possible when I’m anxious/nervous/upset. Sometimes I don’t even notice that I’m doing it.
I now have four crescent moon scars on my palm.

If you watch the show Riverdale, you know that one of the main characters Betty also does this. I have been doing this since before I started watching the show, and I’m absolutely not trying to copycat because “it’s edgy”.

How do I stop doing this?
