day time teeth grinding?
Anyone else go through this? I'm always clenching my jaw, grinding my teeth, squinting my eyes, tightening my face, for no apparent reason.
I've been trying to stop it consciously when I notice myself doing it, but it's just so damn often.
I'm sure it's even worse when I'm sleeping, I've been told I have sleep apnea alongside it, and I've been dooing it since I was a child.

Bite your underlip instead. That way you won't fuck up your teeth.

I've tried that, and tried biting my tongue instead, that's one of the conscious fixes I attempt, but it hasn't helped.

I do it too, therapist says stress and panic are the reason. I grind my teeth while sleeping and when I'm awake, it never stops, sometimes I get a cramp.
It's a symptom of a mental problem, solve that problem and the grinding will stop.

I had a girlfriend that was lying and cheating on me, which put me in a hard depression state, I cut her out of my life 3 months ago, but still think about her regularly.
When we were having our downhill spiral, I noticed I was clenching my teeth often, I've always grinded my teeth at night.. But, since our relationship, I grind during the day time too..

That sounds like a good reason for it. Try therapy, hoping for depression to get better by itself instead of worse is a risky gamble.

I like to think I'm mentally strong enough to battle whatever issues I have me myself and I, and I don't want to have drugs thrown at me to help either.
I feel like if I could save money, work on bettering myself, hopefully these issues will go away, instead of spending money to have someone to talk to.
