Like the title says, I have an unhealthy anxiety coping...mechanism.

I bit my inner lip and tounge until it bleeds and I taste the blood. The pain is calming in a way, and helps distract from whatever is making me anxious.

I want to stop, it’s not healthy. I just can’t!

Is it normal???

    It's like when people bite their nails... but worse. Try not to hurt yourself.

    Its not normal. Take something for your anxiety such as benzos plus antidepressants.

      Benzos have addictive effects and antidepressants come with MANY adverse effects. Although you're right - he/she will probably need these meds to prevent self harm. I also recommend you go for some sort of behavioural or psychotherapy /counselling to find out how to address the subject of your anxiety
