Allowing small conflicts to subsume every waking moment of my life until I receive some form of vindication or relief. Oh and alcohol, I come from a long line of drinkers. The British.

Bitting my nails. I've done it my whole life. It's gotten bad enough that I have minor nerve damage in my fingertips. They are just little nubs (some less than a millimeter). They bleed and swell and get infected easily. I really hate my hands because of it and have tried just about every possible solution on the internet. Nothing works.

I can't believe no-one has listed online shopping!
"Therapist: Now what do we do when we are sad?
Me: "Add to cart?"
Therapist: No"*
Who can resist knowing a package will arrive?! Instant 2 minute excitement! Better than Lottery because you ALWAYS win!

Pacing around my room constantly, humming random stuff, grinding my teeth, and fidgeting like it's nobody's business. I'm starting to get blisters, enduring constant scolding from the dentist, and my muscles are always tired from the endless small movements. And the humming? It's just annoying. XD

Not exactly a habit, but im trying to be cleaner. i just cleaned my room, office and bathroom, and im trying to make a habit where i sub-consciously do things like pick up shoes and trash on the floor. Good habit, but it gets tiring when you've vacuumed your office for the fourth day in a row :D

Diet soda. Right now I’m replacing with Crystal lite to wean off, but slowly reducing the amount of mix I put in my water. Miss the caffeine but I hate coffee, and frankly don’t really need the caffeine anyway so learning to listen to my body and get more sleep if I’m tired.
