Biting my lip...

Post Reply New Topic

I seemed to have developed a new habit where I bite my lower lip. Possibly a stim but does anyone have any advice on how to stop? I have a chew thing already but I wouldn't be comfortable with that in public and it doesn't quite do the trick as I'll revert to my lip. I have scar tissue in my lip and so sit and play with that as well as that weird knobbly tissue in the surrounding mouth area haha. I just imagine it's a bit noticeable plus the area is getting a bit tender.

Thanks!

I do that since I was a little girl. Lately I try to be aware when I start with that, but I found very useful to use lip balms, it reminds me not to do it, but also it becomes more difficult

Look up teething jewlery or teething bling on Amazon. I got one when my son was teething. They are nice necklaces and bangles designed for mothers to wear and their babies to chew on. Some of them look like real stone pendants or whatever, but they are actually smooth and rubbery and really nice to chew or rub on your lips. (I know because I sometines used it myself too.)

I think they are good because they look like normal jewlery, but when you need to stim you can just pop it to your mouth. I know it's not completely normal behaviour, but it's a bit more subtle.
