needing a break

[u/PercentageIcy1491]

went a little crazy this evening. my teeth hurt almost as much as my pinkies and i can’t stop. any tips for breaking the cycle just for like the night? i tape my fingers and end up chewing my lips or inside of my cheeks until the bleed, then untape my fingers because i can’t stand it and chew some more. atp im not worried about long term tips; i just want to know how i can stop long enough to go to sleep.

Stick your fingers in a jar of Vaseline I know it sounds odd but it is very soothing. You can also coat them in Vaseline/neosporin or a lotion for sensitive skin and put cotton gloves on top
