With my OCD I have some "tics" and biting my nails is something I do when anxious. I work to address the anxiety by identifying what I'm anxious about, acknowledging what I want to do with my anxiety (bite my nails), and then create a plan to address the anxiety. Sometimes, with my anxiety, I need to work on just being with my anxiety so I sit on my hands until the anxiety decreases to half and then I'll chew on my nails...sometimes just having that goal of when it is okay to chew and how much is okay takes the anxiety of the all or nothing mentality.

Paint them. Use nail polish (if you are comfortable with it) You won't bite your nails if you know that they are like black or blue or red in color. If not, you can use the transparent one. If you are someone who doesn't like nail polish, try to put something on your nails like red chilly or something that will make your brain understand that it will not be nice if I bite it. Self-control is important here, so it won't happen overnight or in 2 days. So, please be patient with yourself. Don't be too hard on yourself and yeah, take care!
