Tongue: Very likely the cause. Stress from anxiety and depression can cause people to clench and grind at night often times resulting in biting of the tongue. See an md about the behavioral changes needed to control the stress and see your dentist to get a nightguard splint to wear at night to protect your teeth and tongue.
