    Literally always keeping my nails painted is the only thing that’s helped. I bit my nails from toddlerhood into my late 20s, with or without meds. I didn’t want to paint my nails at first because I’m not f but finally said fuck it, and I’m not looking back.

    My nails are too thin to get long enough to bite consistently, but I would wrap my hand around my wrist and squeeze when anxious. I would have finger bruises on my wrists. Nail polish I just sit there and peel off. Fake nails will be ripped off in 2-3 days, no matter how much it damages my nails, and I also play(ed) string instruments. I still squeeze my wrists sometimes, but I have to be really really stressed out.

    As someone on Adderall instead, is it really like that? There is one generic manufacturer, Activis, that I refuse to accept from the pharmacy as I feel like I am tweaking out the entire day and falling apart. Only time I ever refused to finish the bottle and begged the pharmacy to replace it, which they were unable to do.

    For bottles: Knive (multi-tool)
    For blister: Still knive but in batch mode.

    I never tried to puncture this metal seal with bare hands.
