stop biting my tongue

I have been biting my tongue for years. I focus on the tip of my tongue. I definitely do it as a stress reliever, I have tried stopping, but even as I type I am biting my tongue. I wait for it to heal, and then bite or pick off the healing portions. This is so crazy!!!!

I’m tired of biting my tongue,

I’ve had this problem since I was a kid, I bite my tongue as a mean of stress relief,
I keep on biting till I my tongue starts bleeding and sore, the next day when my tongue heals, I start again, I hate it, I know I look like retards when I’m doing it and tears out of the pain come to my eyes,

I hope I can find a way to stop it,
I’m really concerned about the consequences; I guess it may lead to some kind of a cancer.

Please help me if you van,

Thanks.

I don’t know why I do this. Some days I just find myself literally like chewing my tongue. Then I spit all the blood onto my hand and “AHH!” Why do I do this? It’s crazysome! Now my tongue and inside mouth have these scars or something that look really weird. Biting my tongue is like a stress reliever or something for me. The thing I hate is when it hurts really bad the next day.

I got really stressed about something today (money, ugh) and started chewing my cheeks in class. Darnit!!!

The inside of my mouth is amazing right now. Good thing mouths heal quickly; I saw results really soon. I have one corner that I bit a little, so I’m not declaring this goal done yet. Almost!

I want to stop doing this by Monday! Recruitment starts that day, and I’ll look super awkward doing it in front of potential new members. I was able to stop in a relatively short time when I tried before, so we’ll see how it goes.

Sooo it’s still bad! I hate it when people see me doing it ‘cause it’s like wtf are you doing? Class starts again today, and I know how tempting it is to do it in class. I think I have one piece of gum…

It’s so nice when I haven’t done it for a while! The only thing that sucks about that is that it often makes me want to bite more.
(Btw, I mean biting my tongue and insides of my cheeks…ewwww)

some times i dont even just nibble, sometimes i draw lots of blood, i dont even realise im doing it then ill be like what?? whys there blood in my mouth?!

i dont know why i do it and ive tried nearly everything
ive taken into consideration that i might grind my teeth so took to wearing a mouth guard for a while that i got made at my dentist. it didnt help at all

ive been to countless dental hospitals and althought they’ve told me i have a terrible overbite they dont understand why i grind my teeth, bite my tounge.

ive tried less fussy methods like the rubber band on the arm but it doesnt stop and becasue i dont realise im doing it i dont snap the band

ive had my friends tell me when im doing it and even spend a whole day stoping me as soon as they realise im doing it

NOTHING HELPS

any other tips????

Ive had the frustrating habit of biting my tongue for years. Some times I can stop for weeks, even went a few months one time. No one that I have ever met or talked to has had this problem. Its nice to know that I am not alone.

I’ve started snapping a rubber band on my wrist when I bite. Omg though it’s so tempting when I find something I want to nibble. Ahhh! I should chew some gum now that I’ve started thinking about it.
