I bite the skin around my fingernails so much that they're usually raw, rough, and peeling. :/

Same here. I take the skin off of my knuckles all the way down to my fingertips and off my lips. It's become a habit; and it shows, especially when I'm nervous. I went to the doctors a while back, because my lungs were acting up, and she commented on how I should "stop picking at my hands", because "it's like a nervous habit or something".
I know I have anxiety and social anxiety, but... I don't know what to do. I don't know how to fix myself. I can barely talk to people without crying, because I get so anxious.

I get anxiety too. Mostly with large social gatherings. I have to focus on my breathing to calm myself down.

I'm a Pisces and these are all really true for me. I'm really hard on myself, have insomnia, I'm easily distracted, I love to ask questions, I think a lot, I'm very sensitive, I love sci-fi and dystopian books and movies, I love people who can make me laugh, and I can be very self destructive. Up until about age ten I would smack my head as hard as I could on a wall or floor until I was dizzy if I thought I did something terrible or was mad at myself.

Yup

This is my right thumb, it's kinda healed, and my left thumb looks fully healed. Those two are the only fingers I peel skin off of. If I were put in a rough situation they would be raw and awful. Then I get these white spots on my thumbs when they're healing and I get a toothpick to get them off. I just panic and think it's bad to see that.

I never go out, I just hide on here. XD

I'm a Leo. Rawr. XP It's funny, because everyone's like, "Leos are so confident." - I'm not confident at all. I guess, after everything, my confidence was just... washed away. Replaced by depression and anxiety.

Aw, Stachey.

My brother bites the skin off of his palms, I bite and pick mine off of my fingers and knuckles. I used to pick at my arms, so I have a bunch of scars and junk; which is why I always wear long sleeved clothing - because I'm embarrassed of what I've done to myself. Stupid anxiety.

I hope you get better soon.

No problem. It looks painful.
