oral fixation
Does anyone have information on oral fixation? Can it get worse?
I use to be an over-eater, got over that even though in my brain I still think about it sometimes I've learned to stop... but I smoke, pop gum constantly, suck my thumb when I am nervous and have my head in my boyfriends lap as often as possible. I'd really like to kick the smoking and just stick to the sugar free gum. Its hard, I don't know if it gets worse. Could be worse things I suppose. For me I think its nerves that I always like to keep my mouth busy. I talk a lot too.
Scars remind us of where we've been...they don't have to dictate where we're going.
Oral fixations are considered to contribute to over-eating, being overly talkative, smoking addictions, overindulging in sugar, chewing on straws and toothpicks, and even alcoholism (known as "oral dependent" qualities). Other symptoms include a sarcastic or "biting" personality (known as "oral sadistic" qualities). Another indicator is constant nail biting and putting fingers in mouth.

Finding out why, what makes you do this, is something you need to look at perhaps.
Nervous tendancies, makes sense to me, have you seeked councelling regarding this?

Do we not realise that in order to find a soul
It doesn't happen over night
if truth were to be told.
Like everything in life that's hard to achieve
you must believe!
I do this because i fell weird or jittery if I don't have something in my mouth. It soothes me to have anything in my mouth.
