Tw bugs spiders hallucinations 

Basically I am just trying to work out if I’m experiencing something normal or something I need to talk to psyche about. 

My fiancé is very frightened of spiders. I am not. I don’t like them and sometimes they make me jump if I’m surprised but it’s not a big issue for me. 

The past few months whenever a spider crawls across our living room rug (which has lots of dark spider sized bits in the pattern too) she freaks out. Which is completely understandable. But I used to get rid of spiders for her. These days she gets rid of it herself (great for her facing her fear) but I freeze. 

And after one of these incidents I see tiny dark movements in my peripheral vision about every ten minutes for a few hours, and feel small crawling feelings about the same frequency. then it eases off to about every hour and a half as time passes. This lasts a couple of days and then it eases off to maybe a couple times a day. 

My partner says she also experiences this, which makes me think maybe it’s normal. But as I’m not frightened of spiders really, I am really worried. 

Lately as winter sets in we’ve gotten a spider about four days apart, so my brain hadn’t completely relaxed after the last one. So tonight’s spider made me cry hysterically for a little bit. 

I’m worried because I have a lot of mental health conditions and have been dealing with newer symptoms over the past four years (Catatonic episodes, adhedonia, sensory overload) and I had a big breakdown in April that I’m still waiting for mental health help for. 

This could be a further escalation of my brain freaking out about sensory information to tell me somethings wrong, or it could be a completely normal response to seeing a spider. 

I’d like to know whether other people who aren’t afraid of bugs feel like they see movement and assume it’s bugs, and feel crawling, if they see a spider. (Don’t know if it’s important but the thought process in the moment is I feel panicked that there is a spider that could freak her out. I don’t feel specifically frightened of it being a spider) Does it usually last several days? And if so, do you identify as mentally ill or not (in case  there’s a correlation) 



FYI possibly relevant diagnosis I have include anxiety disorder, mixed personality disorder (with a big chunk of borderline symptoms in that), c-ptsd, major depressive episo
