Does anyone dig their nails into their hands when they're anxious, nervous, or upset?

I was wondering if anyone dug their nails into their hands when they're anxious, nervous, or upset. If so do you know what I should do to stop?

I do the same thing, keep yourself occupied. Take your mind off it.

I do this too! I have quite long nails too so it always leaves marks. I have to try and distract myself straight away, I have a sudoku app on my phone which usually helps. Always worth a try ☺️ Or I will fiddle with some blue tack x

Some people will do that. I still bite my nails when Anxious, my problem is they keep taking my teeth out and dentures do not let me bite anymore, life is hard ??
