    Yes! Quick chat about BFRBs and then some tips! Body focused repetitive behaviors include: skin picking, nail biting, joint cracking, hair pulling, nose picking, skin biting (lips, cheeks and cuticles here!)https://twitter.com/skinkybob/status/1143597989098749952 …

    Erynn Brook added,

    Happy Drew Year @skinkybob
    @ErynnBrook Do you have any advice for coping with body-focused repetitive behaviors? I always have to be doing something with my hands, and that usually manifests in nail-biting, cuticle-chewing, and hair-pulling, among others.

        It was once thought that BFRBs were only present with OCD, but there’s a lot of work being done on the connection to ADHD folks. First thing to do: tell your doctor. Especially if it developed after starting ADHD medication.

        Next thing to do is start tracking when you do it, and what your physical and emotional state is. Is it something to do with your hands when you’re restless? Is it something sensory that you’re trying to manage? Is it brought on by stress or anxiety or hyperfocus?

        Some things, if they’re hyperfocus based, can be replaced with other things. Chewing gum might curb nail biting. Fidget toys might curb skin picking. I started self-massaging and stretching to curb pulling out my eyebrows when I was hyper focused.

        If trying to replace the behavior is making it worse, then you have options, but it might be a case like @estarianne where living with it is actually the best choice for you. https://twitter.com/estarianne/status/1143608300933505024?s=21 …

        Some medications may help with some BFRBs. Some therapy may help. It’s all very personal.https://www.additudemag.com/body-focused-repetitive-behaviors-adhd-depression-anxiety/ …

        Replying to @ErynnBrook

        Holy shit, this is an ADHD thing? If anyone has any good advice, I'm really curious to try it. I've been biting or picking at my lips, cuticles and the inside of my cheeks for decades.

        Didn’t realize I was pulling at my eyebrows as I scrolled through Twitter. Got to this post. Immediately stopped. 🙈
