Janine, yup. Biting was how I atarted. Like Sky says, though, it isn't how you hurt yourself but why. It's a way to deal with something that you haven't found a better way to deal with yet. But it's really not an effective way to deal with the problem. Therapy helps you to learn ways to address the real problems so life gets better, and you won't need to hurt like this.

The resources about self injury apply to biting too. There are lots of them listed around this site, but if you don't find what you are looking for, we'll be glad to hunt them up and post them again for you.
