I work full time, am in school full time, care for a sick pet and even when life is good-deal with depression and anxiety. Im graduating and starting at a new college soon. Since the day I found out about the new school, I randomly get itchy. 

It starts with my scalp becoming insanely itchy, I feel like I can feel every piece of hair on my head and it feels sensitive even if I haven’t given in on the urge to itch. Then it spreads to my entire body. I’ve started taking Benadryl as soon as I feel my scalp is itchy and it takes the itch away. 

I’ve never had a physical manifestation of my anxiety like this. How normal/common is it and is there anything else I can do to stop or prevent it? I’m not currently on antidepressants but I have a very low dose Xanax Rx for as needed and sleep. I don’t take it nightly anymore and only take it when I can’t sleep, maybe 2-4x a month. 

I made a doctors appointment for a checkup and to ask about this but the soonest was end of April. Im able to try for a walk in appointment next week.
