Okay, since the summer of 2003, I have been bothered by a “skin-crawling” feeling that I tend to get whenever I see something that looks gross to me. I think that’s pretty normal though. However, lately, it’s been getting worse. It seems like I can find a way to make something “gross” out of almost everything I see on a daily basis; and since I have no control over what comes onto the TV screen or what I see in my daily life, I am faced with this consistent “creepy-crawly,” skin-crawling sensation. It’s like a combination of the feeling that one gets when they see something gross, and the feeling that people get when they get a cold chill. I get goosebumps, and have the constant sensation. It is not a good feeling! I try to force myself not to think of these things, but it only makes me think of them more. I would like to get back to the point where, even if I do see something that looks gross, I can just say, “Eww, that’s gross,” and move on with my life, like any other normal human being. I feel like this sensation is affecting my ability to function, and I don’t know what to do about it! I’m not sure if this would be considered as some type of phobia, anxiety or what it could possibly be!

Sometimes, warm baths or even wrapping up in a blanket can temporarily cure the sensation; but then, if I begin to think about something, or even think about the sensation itself, I get it all over again. I have looked all over the web for what could possibly be causing this, and how to get rid of it, and I can find nothing remotely similar to the condition that I am dealing with.

Have you ever even heard of this before, and do you know anything…anything… that I can do to get rid of this feeling??

I been told morgellon but I don't have the sores or fiber issue.

I would appreciate ANY advice that you can offer! Thank you!
