So sorry, dear one. I have had many physical ticks, habits, addictions. Only one has been terribly damaging. I haven’t been able to stop that one, but I have been able to stop some. My technique has been replacing a harmful one with one less harmful. I’m not sure I have specific advice other than to talk to a psychiatrist. In the most stressful time of my life, I managed to stop chewing my nails by taking anti anxiety meds. When life evened out, I didn’t need them anymore (now I am meticulous about nail clipping and filing). I stopped picking at my feet when I got a foot rasp. Using it after baths with just my feet in the tub it felt like I got what I needed without hurting myself. Keep working, but professional help is best.
