When I pull off my toenails I feel relief. It still hurts to do but afterwards I get a sense of overwhelming calm. Ignoring the pain aspect, It’s kind of similar to the feeling of having a blocked nose become clear. Is this indicative of anything?/ does anyone else experience something similar?
Provided this is not a joke, have you considered that this might be a coping mechanism? Almost the same way that people cutting themselves is a way of coping with stress or depression.
I would recommend talking to your GP or a psychologist.
I’ve been diagnosed. I did think that might be why, I can’t really afford to see a doctor or psycologist though. I might ask around in the depression communiteis to see if anyone else has a similar experience.
