I had TMJ and used a mouth guard. Would that help?
@Booklady
yea, my doctor told me if i don't feel better he may do that , but to be honest he made me feel scared and kind of humiliated of it , does it help? is it that bad?
@Booklady
Yes <3 That might go a long way of fixing the problem, but often you need to try different solutions and find out which one is the best fit for you! <3
@oliveGrapefruit4875 Exercise to relax the jaw and facial muscles
Consider wearing a nightguard or bite splint

Sorry you've got a tooth-grinding problem,
I also have bruxism and have a Michigan splint (a huge unglamorous nightguard) and sometimes listen to a self hypnosis recording from YouTube for bruxism, or progressive muscle relaxation recording.
Also I find writing down any worries before I go to bed (to park them there until the morning) can help a bit.
Maybe one of these could help you
