Gaps between gym & tooth...can it heal?

Hi!

Apologies for not having a picture, it’s not easy for even me to see.

For the past few months I’ve been flossing with floss picks (which I now am going to stop doing) and have been kind of careless and too violent so to speak when I forced the floss between my teeth. Now for the last week I’ve noticed there are gaps between my gum and tooth in different areas and it’s sore/feels cut. Now it’s super easy, too easy to floss because of the gaps. It feels like the gum and teeth have pulled away from each other.

Will this heal/go away? Should I stop flossing completely in those areas and give it a break? I’m all terrified now I caused permanent damage.

Thanks so much!

Edit: sorry I can’t spell
