I just picked all my nails down again. I grew them out over two and a half weeks under press-ons. I was so proud of myself. Why did I do that? (just venting)
I feel your pain. I used to bite mine down to the nub growing up and cry because they hurt so bad. Medicine can help, it helped me at least so maybe it can help you? But you can still be proud of yourself for other things (:
