Can stress or anxiety cause itching?

Sometimes my anxiety causing me to itch all night I can’t even sleep

[KARAZY]

I have this itch when I get nervous or when I feel embarrassed and it’s reached a point where I have to literally go to a nearby bathroom and scratch my body

[krazus]

I itch whenever I get lightly stressed, emotionally or physically. When I work it also gives me a maddening itch sensation that forces me to stop what I am doing, even just walking outside in the sun sometimes does it.

Everytime I get in an awkward situation or I walk in class late any time of embarrassing moment my hair starts itching and then my neck starts itching and my arms sometimes

It happens to me when I get a bit angry or if I get a panic attack. Usually in winters for some reason I also get this when I am in sunlight for a long time on a dry day.

My itching started at around 6 years old on my back and legs, it progressed to a level that it could be considered self mutilation by 8 years old where my legs would bleed to the point of sticking to my sheets, this continued into my teens. You video explained a component that I never put together, I also had severe and deep acne. This was accompanied by severe GI issues that started pre-kindergarten and chronic abdominal pain that were labeled somatoform disorders. The dissociative states started around 6 or 7, head banging and punching around 8, and cutting, burning, hair pulling around 13. Most of the stress related issues stopped in my teens when I self extricated by running away, living as a street kid or getting myself hospitalized when I needed to recuperate. I grew up under extreme conditions, my social worker from when I was an adolescent agrees that I likely had reactive attachment disorder, cptsd, and severe BPD traits started at 13. I still get episodic itching on my arms, face, and head and GI issues when I am stressed, I use it as a measure of my overall mental state. I use mindfulness techniques, a rubber band or ice cube to focus on. If it gets really bad, I use wool mittens to protect my skin.

I can’t sleep, all my body is itching

[clarencecarter]

I itch all over whenever my body gets hot or when I get nervous or emotional. I even tend to wake up out of my sleep due to itching. I also itch when someone ask me questions. I just want to know what can I do for this?

I've been itching ever since the government lockdown. My body can't take all this stress over the corona.

Oml. I was itching my scalp so badly I thought I had lice or something. Nothing there. I got diagnosed with anxiety but I didn't know that I would be constantly itching. It's even worse when I try not to itch in classes bc else ppl will think there's something wrong with me and then that makes me itch even more and then u get the cycle. ;-;

Ack! I think I have this. I hadn’t had it for several months, I noticed it back in Jan of this yr. At the time I thought I was having an allergic reaction, but truth is that my job was falling apart at the time. Now many months later it started up. I thought maybe my skin is too dry. So I washed my face put some lotion on it. It stopped for a bit, but then I could feel it still it itching me from time to time. When I would give in and itch, immediately I’d feel an itch elsewhere in my bod, and it was just a vicious cycle where the more I itch, the more I ITCH. How to deal?

Feeling embarrassed makes me feel itchy, even when any normal situation embarrasses me, i tried to search for any solution online but i found nothing, so please do you have any solution for this?

The itching is torture and so is the anxiety and so is the stress

Bruh my body just itch so hard for a full minute cuz of my anxiety, I just experienced this for the first time :)

[eiza_r]

I have a weird situation, when i feel my face itchy i always scratch the same way everytime almost as if it were a tic. And i get my face super itchy when i'm too concentrated at a game or angry at it, and also in forest kind of areas.

And i've had this since i can remember from what my parents told me

[mrfin]

I've been having itchy problems. The itchy areas happen in the same places. Like tiny itchy needles.


I think it's something to do with anxiety. Because it all started the day after I started drinking.

[xuatia]
