When I get really anxious, I get really itchy, usually on my legs. It gets so bad that I’ll itch until I scratch myself, and I don’t even notice. Sometimes it’s so bad I get a knife and scrape my leg with it (no intention of self harm though, don’t worry). The scratches do kinda look like self harm though, and they sting too. It’s not self harm, I just legitimately don’t notice I’m doing it until I see it. 

Has anyone else experienced this and have any tips for how to avoid it? It’s so bad. The itchiness doesn’t stop even when I break skin, which sucks. Any advice?
