    I have some scar tissue from biting my the insides of my cheeks, but unfortunately, it isn't accidental, exactly. It is a stress-related thing I do unconsciously.

    me too

    there have been times when I was younger when it almost became a semi-conscious self-harm thing (in a very minor way) but I haven't had that problem for years

    Considering I have bite marks on the insides of my cheeks, I have low spleen energy too...

    So Brandi, what does this all mean??? How long are you going to tease us????

    Isn't the tongue the spleen? I don't know what the cheeks are....dare I ask?

    Sorry! I wanted to see if i was the only freak who did this on a regular bases. I have so much scaring on the inside of my cheek and tongue. Sometimes i swear I am trying to hurt myself. It seems to happen when i am really hungry and i eat to fast. But this spleen thing is very interesting.
    I was just tryig to see if this was common. Told you it was a weird one.

    I didn't want to put my stories in first. I wanted to hear what everyone was going to say first. I wish I had a reason for it. I just feel i do it to much.

    I'll go through weird spells where I have a lot of cheeky accidents. It's like I suddenly get clumsy about chewing, especially when eating fast, and my jaw will sort of start to wobble. Sometimes I can even tell a split-second before it happens, and then suddenly "CHOMP!!!!!"

    Of course, then the bitten cheek gets swollen and rebitten a few times for the next few days. Then, just as randomly, I might go months without an accident.

    It's a family thing in my house! Not only do I bite the inside of my mouth, but my three children do it as well...sometimes drawing blood. When everyone lived at home it would be unusual if we could get through a meal without one of us suddenly flinching and following it up with a yelp. My husband never bites the inside of his mouth. Lucky him. He is obviously not related to me.
