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?

I do the same thing. It hurts so good! Especially my pinkie toenails. Definitely not a good habit, though, and probably related to some stress / coping mechanism.

Yeah! mostly the pinky toe too XD. I try to keep it isolated to just that toe on each foot so walking doesn't hurt lol. Def bad habbit. I'm so happy im not the only one though.
