Hey,
I have this problem too. I'm only 19 and it had started since last year. I didn't know it was from anxiety or may be the cause of my chewing behavior. I've been chewing the inside of my cheeks, top and bottom of the inside of my lip. Recently, its been hurting so bad!
I thought it might have been from the time I got out of the dentist. I had a root canal and both sides of my cheeks were numbed. I accidentally chewed without knowing and after that, I start to do it on my own. Mostly since I didn't like the rough feeling in my cheek.
I still don't know...is it because of that or because of anxiety. My fiance recently went to Georgia for basic training. That could be it too...
