Biting - yes: Not likely related to TMJ, but the lip biting habit. Do your best to stop. If unable on your own, see your Dentist and perhaps a soft athletic guard will help you . Good luck.

Irrelevant: Lip-biting syndrome is a chronic anxiety disorder and has nothing to do with TMJ disorder. See your PCP for consultation and treatment to relieve anxiety and/or stress.
