fake nails from cvs to make it 24 hours without picking my skin

I worked with my therapist recently on applying dbt and mindfulness in attempt to manage skin picking which has been battle since middle school, nothings ever helped. little did he know he should’ve prescribed me fake nails. rx manicure

This is my face and press on nails like 36 hours after applying them. My chest back scalp also I am unable to keep tearing up with my long sassy chic nails. I feel completely off balance with them and like I can’t do anything but I do feel like the trade off is worth it for me to not feel drenched in self-loathing as I do every time I glance at my reflection when i am being picky. It feels like a jump start so that my skin has a moment to settle and the mindfulness techniques and urge surfing may have a fighting chance.

note that I am terrified every time I pick up dog poop that my nails will puncture the bag but this hasn’t happened yet.
