Hello,
Do not rub your tongue to your teeth it will unnecessary irritate it and will cause ulceration on it.
For anxiety disorder are you on any medicines if not you can take anxiolytics but for small periods like 7-10 days after consultation to your doctor.
These small patches are actually keratosis which develop because of irritation .
If you smoke stop smoking ,do not take alcohol.
Prevent acidity and reflux from stomach.
you must take multivitamins for a month or so ,so that it helps in healing the tongue and decrease nerve irritation.
Get well soon.
If in doubt do reply back.
