4 Surprising Habits You May Develop Because of Anxiety
video description
Sometimes at night I grind my teeth by accident but I have stopped myself: )
- I wake up EVERY NIGHT and for some reason mainly one school days which messes up my schedule and i go to sleep late on top of that. I also start thinking alot and asking questions out of nowhere and stop myself from falling asleep. It also messes with my seperation anxiety and causes trouble for me to sleep I even feel myself waking up atleast 2-3 times atleast. I used to do yoga but I would get distracted every second and loose focus bc of adhd but maybe i'll try again soon
- OMG I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE-
I do this all the time its annoying. Its a habit and somehow I can't stop. I'm honestly glad I have a mask at school cause I DO IT ALL THE TIME
My lips are somewhat red but for me I cant stop myself from biting myself that I used to bite my cheeck sometimes (not anymore i stopped myself

I've always biten my lips( and still do) and everyone was like, ewwwwww why tf do u do that? I even got comments like u know boys will never want to kiss u with those lips, and it really hurt because I couldn't control it. I'm still struggling with rude comments and I'm trying to find solutions to this. You might think, well it doesn't matter what ppl think, and overtime I've learned to ignore the comments but it really hurts my lips. They bleed and now even when I try to not bite them I only go for a day or two with really chapped lips that feel like their burning in he. PLEASE HELP ME SOMEONE!

I avoid people and I feel more comfortable, because my mood swings are misunderstood and I get judged a lot because of that, I learned to affirm others and be kind so they don't feel that I am avoiding or hating on them, but still inside of my head a voice continues telling me to stop acting all nice and show the true me. the things is I don't know the true me anymore because of anxiety and that sucks so I am stuck with this circle of hopelessness.

Wow, the last one throw me off guard I always get to be told that stop bouncing your leg! Its make you blah blah blah, because it makes you look unprofessional/impolite( I do it out of awareness) Im also aware that I always avoid eye contact, but then I proceed to do the same every time and I feel so frustrated every time I have trouble sleeping too ( the way I cope with it now is smoking weed before sleep, just to get a decent sleep.

I used to chew the crap outa my lips around 5th grade maybe? They would be bleeding and painful, i stopped. But now i just gently pluk the skin on the inside of my cheeks and lips. Not to the extent of bleeding but just to get some skin off. Idk why, it's really addicting almost satisfying but also annoying since once i start i can't stop and i just keep going until i firget I'm doing it and just stop.

i do all of those except waking up in the night. with biting your lip (or biting your cheek like i do) i try to whenever i feel the urge to bite my cheek, i chew gum. its difficult for me to do that though since school doesnt allow us to have gum so i have to chew it discreetly. i do forget most of the time, but i really want to stop so im still trying

This is one issue my psychiatrist and I are having issues balancing. My depression is mostly under control and now we're trying to tackle anxiety.
I don't grind my teeth, but I do clench my jaw. I broke a tooth due to that. And my jaw muscles are usually tight.
I have chewed my lips to massive sores. I also always be nice my leg.

Hearing the expression The eyes are the gateway to the soul REALLY scared me, and Ive never looked at someone in the eye again.
Not that I believe in the souls or stuff, but I dont really want others to know what Im feeling, because sometimes I dont even feel anything when I should be feeling something
Anyone else? :

I struggle with biting my lower, and top lip. (and bouncing my leg) That habit started when I was very little, and I still cannot stop it. Every time im in class, or anything social wise, I always bouce my leg and bite my lips. and I fidget with anything close to me. (Habits have been going for around 5 years for me)

I used to chew gum a lot because I didn't like the taste of blood constantly, but since I got braces all I taste when I'm not eating or drinking is little amounts of blood, partially front Braces and partially from chewing my cheeks and lips instead of gum. I'm excited to get my braces off so I can chew gum again

At least the video lets you know this is a common thing among others and if we think a little bit we can plan some alternatives to help ourselves and others going through this issue. I'm sure we all agree on how hard it is to overcome this even when we have a relatively normal life.

I do all of these. When I was a kid I also did other stuff like chew the ends off pencils and I would chew my hair off and lay it in sections on my desk. Nowadays it's mostly chewing my nails and the skin around it, shake my leg, and all these listed in the video.

I've started pursing my lips because of anxiety and it's causing my bottom teeth and lips and gums to hurt so bad. I'm constantly telling myself to stop every 30 seconds but just can't break the habit. If anyone has any advice I'm open to pretty much anything

A habit that I developed is that I talk to myself or just blurt out random thoughts during high moments of tress. I also start laughing nervously, tapping, fidgeting, looking around, start moving like ALOT, and breathing heavily. Anxiety is not fun

I can relate to the waking up every couple of hours and avoiding eye contact. However, sometimes it feels more awkward to not look someone in the eye because I don't want to seem disinterested and like I don't want to talk to them.

I avoid eye contact because then they will think Im not interested and leave me alone, i grind my teeth because I like the sound it makes and I pull at my lip to get rid of the crusty layer when I dont have lip balm

habits that I got from anxiety are things like chewing my cheek and lip. I avoid eye contact and bite my nails. Ive had to deal with anxiety for a long part of my live and its hard to deal with sometimes. :)

When I'm out in public I shake my hand, bite my lips, and stutter. Sometimes I say things on my mind aloud because I have so much on my mind- it's always embarrassing when I do that. lol
