Anyone else get itchy when they feel anxious? Whenever i'm stressed or my anxiety is acting up I get incredibly itchy, to the point where I scratch my skin raw. I know it's not real itching, like a physical cause, because nothing helps except reducing my stress. It's just so annoying and hard to explain to neurotypical friends. I recently got asked if I was self-harming because of the scratches on my arms. I'm not- I'm just itchy!
