I'm so sorry you're struggling so much! It's very difficult to completely stop this behavior on your own, keep searching for a therapist and care team that can offer you better support during this. These are some of my harm reduction suggestions. These cover your entire finger tip and nail bed and are similar to a glove https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00URIW2B0?lv=shuf&channelId=500&plpRedirect=mhFallback These are both textured and cover the cuticle and nail bed area. I'm curious is you put some washable glue on it to give more of a pick/pull sensation if that would help with urges. https://therapyshoppe.com/product/finger-guard-bfrb/?srsltid=AfmBOoo4iiQZfz524RhVuPwetRSpXwo6i93xmA1cpYNBjD-sE0-0gvOP https://kaikofidgets.com/products/picky-finger-protectors-set-of-10-kaiko-fidgets-picking-support-protection?srsltid=AfmBOopHCXmeCeMUlWbBJ112DRA0lecZRaU1ZiH6HvlfLFuXZOeli4Bp This is the cuticle balm I use. I put it on before I cover my fingers with a finger cot! https://www.badgerbalm.com/products/cuticle-care-organic-cuticle-fingernail-treatment?variant=32690001018961&country=US¤cy=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign={campaign}&utm_content={adgroup}&utm_term=&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=9730317279&gbraid=0AAAAADxWxKyymR3t4EBVnOjZMuGVmRh__&gclid=Cj0KCQjwrs7RBhDuARIsAIVfBD20v6g8IlxrmtiBelzOdBWH7XVeWoZX9ZN_WmH7Sh_XpZFi3HIK9LwaAn5WEALw_wcB Remember to have self compassion and understanding for yourself, you've been battling this for a long time and unfortunately it won't stop over night but you can always be kind to yourself and try again! Proud of you for asking for help! May you find peace!
They're called "finger cots"
