Pacifier for Anxiety: Yay or Nay?

been biting my nails and lips till it hurts and yeah sometimes suck my thumb or chewing pens (lucky i don't have braces) a pacifier seems like it could replace some of those bad habits but also doesn't feel an awful lot like a step in the right direction I'd love to hear more thoughts on this Does it solve problems or become one? In this situation

If you think it would help with your anxiety then absolutely! I've been a thumb sucker since I was a kid and a pacifier would definitely be easier. However, depending on how and what triggers your anxiety, it could make your anxiety worse, so definitely make sure you're in a safe space
