It’s not the prettiest topic, but it’s real. I struggle with anxiety and skin picking, especially my lips and cuticles. These are some of the things that have truly helped me, and I hope they might help you (or someone you love) too.

I love squishy sensory toys! This one has a bit of resistance to it, which makes it extra satisfying to squeeze.

Putty is another top favorite of mine. This brand is great. They even make mini tins that fit right in your purse or pocket!

I like to wear one of these on my wrist. I can take it off and twist it if I’m feeling anxious.

Fake nails actually make it harder to pick. I’ll admit they made me a little anxious at first, but once I got used to them, they helped a lot!

I love listening to these kinds of calming videos. Bonus points if there’s rain sounds in the background.
