I do it when I’m frustrated which is very often now and for the foreseeable future. I do it enough that its making my jaw sore. Has anyone had success in stopping this? Advice? I’ve tried using a stress ball instead but I end up doing both.

For TMJD one of the major things to recover is to develop a relaxed jaw posture. Say “mine” - the position of your jaws and tongue at the end of the word is proper posture. Your teeth should not touch at rest.
Teeth slightly apart, tip of tongue on roof of mouth (lightly). Be mindful throughout the day and maintain that position. When you catch yourself with bad position, fix it.
