I’m not a therapist but if it’s impacting your life like this it’s time to see a therapist and talk about why you are biting your nails. It seems that you may need some one else to help you work through why it is you are biting in the first place. For me this is what I would do especially if I’ve already attempted to quit on my own

Agreed, sounds like this is beyond a normal habit and may be closer to some sort of OCD behavior. I could be totally wrong, but I think it’s worth discussing with a therapist if possible to see if they could help.

(Having ocd behaviors does not mean you have OCD the way most people think of it, you can just have a specific compulsion like nail biting.)
