Hi, so I have bruxism since half a year ago. Almost everyday I wake up, I can't open my mouth for at least an hour, and when it finally opens, its only 2 fingers max (hurts like hell if i try to open it wider). Sometimes it also happens during eating or talking.
My doctor suggested me to do face massages, when my TMJ is locked like that, and it helps a bit, but i wonder if theres anything more I can do to make it better? Or is there any way to prevent that from happening so often?

21F, currently on zoloft. I lack positive emotions, but still have the need to pretend happiness around people. I am so tired because of playing this role 24/7 to please god-know-who. With each passing day its harder for me to socialize. When I'm alone I waste so much of my time by crying. Not suicidal, but wouldnt complain if I could die right now. I just want to rest without feeling guilty.
