Hey guys, I have a problem...

I don't cut, but I do something very very different, which I think still counts as self harm? I'm not sure...

I know how this sounds, but it started about four years ago, it's triggered by stress, and it is very damaging.

I don't cut, but instead I scrape my tongue against the backs of my teeth, it's muscle memory by this point, and very hard to stop. It prevents me from talking, eating, sleeping, working, focusing, or just being a normal human being. My mom found me something call OraGel and it numbs it....I got addicted...it said to use it 4 times a day, but I would go through an entire tube in about 3 days to a week at most... It would usually end by itself but it just gets really really bad. One time it got so bad the entire tip of my tongue was yellow, I had a huge scab ON MY TONGUE.

I REALLY need help, this isn't good, any advice??
