What can be done to stop chewing the insides of my mouth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Conscious effort: No miracles or making potions here. It requires a conscious effort. It's nothing more than a bad habit. Stress and anxiety can be a strong contributing factor. Try to reduce your stress and if necessary and if it's too overwhelming for you to handle, consult with a therapist.
