So I know what has triggered it, I had to make a phone call for the docs earlier this week. I could feel myself hyperventilating and having shivers go through my body but I did it and I was super proud of myself. 

However since then I haven't been able to stop chewing the skin on the inside of my lips/cheeks and picking at them (until they're sore and bleeding, I've had to use a throat numbing medicine to stop it hurting before). It is difficult as there is already a build up of damaged skin on the inside of my mouth.

I haven't done this for a while and I would like to know if anyone has any good advice in how to stop doing it? Wearing lip products does help but it doesn't help the inside of my mouth 🙃 Do you think it's time I should see a doctor for it? (Just to make things clear making phone calls is the problem for me, not going to the doctors)

Any advice is much appreciated!
