I don't even know how to describe the feeling. Almost tingling but not quite. Almost crawling but not quite. Almost warm but not quite. And it's so uncomfortable and awful. 

I tend to sleep mostly naked but when my anxiety spikes at night, I immediately have to put on clothes because the feeling of the fabric against me is the only thing that can distract me from the... whatever feeling of my own skin. If I'm already wearing something, I have to put on MORE. Blankets (even weighted ones) or towels or whatever don't quite help, so I'm sure that's more a mental thing (right?) but the sensitivity is so intense and almost painful. I can't stand to touch myself at all and even if I'm wanting comfort, I can't stand for anyone else to touch me. I don't even want the air to circulate around me. 

I know anxiety can make our bodies tense to the point of pain but I never thought that would have an impact on our skin? Could it be a circulatory issue? Is this serious? Is it more mental than physical? Does anyone else experience this?
