so anxious... trying to cope but I can't :(

Until I go to dentist on Tuesday, I can't help but feel horrible. Besides I dreamed I got dx by C. In my dream last night. I woke up so anxious and sad.

I am totally obsessed with this peeling area inside of my cheek. It sheds skin, then the area looks normal for a while then after a while peels again. But I was biting the skin off from that place for months now and scared that it is going to develop a mouth C. (Which I heard from others numerous times that biting lips and mouth may develop such, but never heard anyone dying from it or getting such C. not even in media). I don't have a sore or bleeding scar in my mouth. Just inside of my left cheek is not smooth as the other because of previous biting. The only rational thinking I can do is, it looks better and normal after it sheds the white skin off. But I tend to touch and stroke there with my tongue now, even if I don't bite skin off anymore.

Trying to think rationally but I feel so stupid and sad because I pester you guys with this same issue here on forums. And forcing my husband to explain things over and over again. :((((
I wish I had a dentist relative so I could just go and get relief. Why I keep on thinking it turned into something dangerous?

I am feeling so stupid really :( The sad thing with the disorder we anxiety sufferers have is that we are actually quite intellectual, emphatic and smart people but we tend to think extremely irrational at the times of panic :( A person like me, very logical and rational in most of the times... :((

Andwes, I thank you very much from the bottom of my heart. You are the first person who has the same habit as me, and besides I don't even bleed and cause sores in my mouth like you did. My habit is just biting the skin, making it lose then ripping it off and causing irritation.
You said you did it for years, but how long time did it take to heal properly? And most importantly, how did you manage to take it under control and stop?

Rr.,

Thinking of you today...sending thoughts and prayers of peace and calm!!

Let us know how your appointment goes, okay? I am sure that all it going to be fine.:)
