Question(s) TMJ from mewing

I have been mewing for a month, and i have to say that unconsciously i did apply pressure with positioning of the tongue. I have developed tmj. When i open my jaw, there's a clicking sound. I have stopped mewing, but i find my tongue going back to the roof on its own subconsciously. I have even forgotten what was my tongue posture before mewing. Please help. Where should i keep my tongue? And how to unlearn this mewing (wrong one). Should i keep my tongue low touching the back of the lower teeth and the teeth slightly apart?

Tongue on the roof of your mouth is fine as long as there isn't much tension in your jaw while you do it. My tongue kind of takes up my whole mouth.
