Chronic tongue and lip biting while eating

I have been biting the inside of my cheeks quite often. It results in a painful sore. It almost feels like all of a sudden my jaw makes an awkward chew motion and bang, the bite. I would be interested to know whether others have had this problem and found solutions other than chewing really slowly and carefully. By then the food has gone cold and needs to be re-heated.

I've been doing more cheek-biting since my Seizure attacks/PD flare-up in late '23, early '24. And more teeth-scrubbing with my tongue, so I always seem to have a swollen tongue.......and that's about when eating b ecame a problem: I stopped it, almost completely (eating food, that is) I'm pretty much getting by with nutritional supplements (liquid) since everything typically feels dry to my tongue, "tastes like cardboard" has become a normal complaint, and I hav e even had to spit out food, because I couoldn't convince my bfrain to swallow the dry, tasteless whatever. Also highly sensitive to highly spiced foods...they hurt my whole mouth.
Any answers as to what's happening????
