Extreme tounge biting. Picking tounge with nail
I've been biting my tounge for the last 5 or 6 years. It's gotten worse over the years though. It's starting to really effect my life. It's like when I start biting it I can't stop! I get into some kind of trance and just can't stop biting until it's bleeding everywhere. I bite it so much some days I can barely eat what I want because of the wound burning. .I can't control it. Once It crosses my mind then I'm off to the races. It's so painful. I regret biting it after wards every time bc of how much pain Im in. I have to put numbing cream on my tounge because that's how freaking bad it hurts. Someone please give me some kind of advice. I can't take it anymore :/ I want to stop at all costs
Have you tried counselling or therapy? Cognitive behavioural therapy cohld very well be of help.
That's actually something I could give a try. I've been in counseling for 2 years now and it hasn't really done much at all.. it's almost like it's a tic bc when I start I can't stop
